i think common sense should always be applied along with a large degree of caution where hygiene is concerned. i personally always use new pre sterilised needles and tips. i also stringently clean my equipment and cling film all surfaces as im mobile. my previous statement was abit blase where the cleanliness is involved. in terms of quality of work. as long as the recipient is aware of the situation and potential shit quality of work then i think its entirely up to them. but i appreciate that alot of shite gets churned out. but fuck it… makes me look better lol

ignoring everything most tattooists will say, buy a kit and go and maim some of your mates. If your half decent at art and hasvea rough idea of how to do it thats enough at first. you will need guidance etc bout basic setup but again, if your switched on you will latch onto a decent tattooist and pick up a few tips alkong the way. don’t charge any think and get as much practise as possible. Take pictures you’ve done to tattooists and they are more willing to help you out.

that is seriously fucked up. your putting your kids through pain for now reason other than your desire for them to look a certain way. the fact your daughter only cried for 20 seconds seems to make you think its alright. thats bollocks
