When tattooing, it's common to use a clean, gloved hand to gently swipe down the skin to keep it taut and ensure a smooth surface for the needle. You can also use a paper towel or a clean, damp sponge to wipe away excess ink and blood while maintaining a clear view of the area being tattooed. Always prioritize hygiene by using sterile tools and maintaining a clean workspace.
Using a permanent marker on the skin can pose risks when tattooing, as the ink may contain harmful chemicals that could cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Additionally, the ink from permanent markers is not formulated for injection into the skin, which can lead to complications or unintended effects. It's best to use skin-safe, professional tattoo markers for outlining or preparing the skin before tattooing.
Tattooing black skin is much different than tattooing a white or brown skin pigment because you can usually only use black ink because color doesn't show up as well as light pigmented skin, so a dark pigmented person might be limited to there ink colors and some tattoos on certain areas of the body...
No, you should only use ink specified for tattooing. Any other type of ink may not be compatible with skin and could cause infection.
Yasutomo ink is primarily designed for calligraphy and art purposes and is not formulated for skin use. Tattoo inks are specifically created to be safe and long-lasting on skin, while art inks may contain harmful substances. Using Yasutomo ink for tattooing could lead to skin irritation, allergic reactions, or infections. It's essential to use inks that are specifically approved for tattooing to ensure safety and quality.

You swipe it
No. I recommend using Green Soap (tattooing soap). It removes all the dead skin giving you a closer shave.
gliscor can ;p
Usually I would be recommending people NOT to use India Ink, but if it is just for practice on fake skin, the India Ink will be more than satisfactory. Since what you are tattooing is more akin to plastic than skin, it won't bleed like it would in the skin, and will allow you to hone your lining skills.
It's from mild skin trauma from the actual process of tattooing. We use needles to make tiny holes in the skin through which ink is intruduced into the demal layer through capilary action.
scyther at least.
Sure, but you would want to use India Ink over say normal pen ink. Nothing compares to real skin though, so when ready, switch from fruit to your own thighs or calfs. This will allow you to get a good hand at tattooing and will allow you to play around with technique, shading, and will also help you to develop a light yet effective hand when tattooing which pays off big time later on.
