Where to begin?

Firstly, in order to create paintings on the body, you need to thoroughly know the basics of drawing and painting, have creative thinking and imagination. Having initial artistic skills, further advancement to the profession will depend on perseverance, regular practice.

The second commandment of the master is to create your own style starting from the very first sketch. Using an Internet picture and passing it off as his own, a beginner will not be able to further wash away the stigma of plagiarism, colleagues “in the shop” will quickly understand what is what.

Thirdly, you need to choose a specialization – realism, black-n-gray, Old School, linework, oriental, “biomechanics” and other styles.

You need to consolidate your knowledge and skills under the guidance of a real master, directly at his workplace as an assistant. Here the future colleague will be trained:

• how to choose and assemble a typewriter;
• how to adjust the depth of the needle entry;
• by what means to quickly heal a fresh tattoo;
• remind of a school biology course on the location of arteries and veins.

In addition, the beginner will receive information on measures to prevent skin infection, on the hygiene requirements for tattoo care..

The material side of body painting is important!

Without material resources – machines, pedals, needles, blocks, pigments and other materials – it is impossible to create a high-level tattoo. The main equipment for a tattoo, of course, is a machine..

The choice of machines depends on the level of complexity of the work performed. So, the equipment for the production of the contour is characterized by a short hard blow and a high speed. Thanks to the quick return of the needle, the paint does not have time to blur under the skin, as a result, a thin contour line is obtained.

The paint spraying machine works at a low speed, densely clogging the desired areas. While the needle is in the fabric, the paint has time to blur, providing high-quality dyeing.

When buying machines, you must also decide on the appropriate group of needles for them, with the possibility of using liquid or thick pigments and other factors.

You can buy a tattoo machine in Ukraine by going to online store of tattoo equipment.
