Well first off I would never recommend using a homemade tattoo machine. That is so ghetto and unsafe. If you are interested in Tattooing I would recommend a professional Tattoo set. If you are wanting to buy a set I have many extras so just email me and I can give you a price and advice. As far as the ink goes I would recommend moms, eternal, or precision Tattoo ink from Tuscon, AZ. They do sell ink from there website. The main tattoo artist is Dennis dwyer

How do you shade a tattoo with a homemade tattoo machine?
To be honest I wouldn't suggest doing any tattoos with a homemade tattoo machine. You can pick up a good cheap professional kit off the net, google it. And as for shading the piece, you may wish to go to your local tattoo shop and ask a few questions and/or watch them. But do not use a homemade machine you will never really get the look your striving to achieve.
How can you protect yourself from getting hep b from a tattoo needle?
Make sure the shop you go to has a license, is clean and that they ONLY use disposable needles. If you don't see them pulling out a new, sterile needle each time they start a tattoo, then don't get a tattoo from them. - - - - - You're not likely to get a bloodborne disease from a tattoo needle. If you're going to get one from a tattoo shop, it will come from the ink. Tattoo artists don't like to use old needles, and needles aren't expensive--so, unless you go to someone who tattoos out of his house, you'll get new needles when you get a tattoo. The ink is a different story. It is expensive, and they can't use all of it when they give someone a tattoo. You put ink in a tattoo machine by dipping the tip in the ink and stepping on the footpedal, which causes the needle to pull ink into the reservoir. If you're refilling the machine during a tattoo, there's blood in the machine, which winds up in the ink. Some guys are tempted to put the unused ink back in the bottle. So...if you really want to see how good a shop you're dealing with, go watch them do a tattoo--they'll let you. If they finish the tattoo and immediately throw all the ink caps and excess ink into a biohazard bag, it's a safe shop. If they set the ink caps to the side for later, don't go there.
Can you use liquid eyelliner for tattoo ink?
No, no, no. If you want a tattoo go to someone who does it.
Do you use tattoo ink when practicing on a melon?
To get the best feel as to how fast you should go while working with tattoo ink, you should use tattoo ink, but for a melon you could save ink and just use India Ink which is much cheaper. This will allow you to at least play around with the machine and get a feel for it. You can never trust the results of tattooing fruit since the lines bleed out into the skin and they will look far less perfect than they might actually be. Once you've tackled melons, practice on your own thighs and calves. This will allow you to get a real feel for how fast to go with the machine, skin stretching, ointment application, puncture depth, shading techniques, etc. When you get to that point, of course switch over to real tattoo ink. Best of luck.

What kind of pen to use on homemade tattoo?
don't use a pen for christs sake! the amount of messed up homemade tattoos ive been shown at my shop is unbelievable. if you are unpatient enough not to wait till you have money or are the right age, at least buy a machine and get an artistic friend to do it for you. or, a sterilized needle and NATURAL Indian ink will work. but don't come cryin if you get ink poisoning. im a skinhead and have a cross done with the needle and ink thing, and it fades after a while but is fine if done properly.

Can you use eye liner ink as tattoo ink?
For the love of God...NO! If it is not tattoo "ink", which is a misnomer...it isn't actual ink, but pigment that as more akin to paint, but IS NOT PAINT, and you cannot use that either. The only thing other than actual tattoo ink that one can use would be India Ink, but this gives you poor results. Get real ink, and have a real artist do it.
Can alchol be use to dilute tattoo ink?

What is the most used tattoo ink?
MOM'S Ink, Skin Candy, Intenze, and Kuri Sumi. These are the only tattoo inks I trust and are most popular. Use the wrong tattoo ink and you'll get a crappy faded tattoo.
