Fish will be right up, his is in pretty sad shape!

[SJ]

That and dirty needles

I don't think anyone re-uses needles anymore... if they are they should go to jail IMO... there's no reason or need for it. Needles are literally pennies a piece

[SJ]

like if you are getting say a hundred dollar tattoo.. there's maybe 5-10 bucks worth of stuff in that tattoo...

[NeTaS]

if it's Obama there is a reason

[milkman]

Obama gets dirty, infected needles anyhow!

[NeTaS]

If I have a friend do one for me not in a shop I go to spaulding and rogers and buy my own needles no shit

[SJ]

gloves = pennies a pair when you buy cases

vaseline smear - pennies...

popscicle stick - pennies...

ink.. maybe a buck's worth... maybe 2 or 3 dollars worth if you have some color.

the grips are all disposable now and so are the needles... so that's maybe 3 bucks tops and there's no cleaning costs to running an autoclave with disposable grips..

you have some sleeves for your clipcoard and a bag for your machine..

and some ink caps..

cheap cheap cheap

there.. I busted the myth that tattoo's are expensive

[SJ]

oh and stencil paper... it's a tad expensive but you can use one sheet for a crapload of tattoos

[Chob]

You're weird. You do tats but you don't have any. How many people have you met that can say the same?

[milkman]

Never trust a tat guy without tats!

[NeTaS]

I have never met a tattoo guy or girl with no ink

[SJ]

You're weird. You do tats but you don't have any. How many people have you met that can say the same?

0.0 that I've met.

but there was a guy on ink master that had no work and did some good shit

[SJ]

Never trust a tat guy without tats!

what does that prove though?

you make the mistake of assuming the artist is gonna tattoo himself... sure some do but many don't. so their tattoos are no sign of their work ethic or quality.

the only thing that matters is your portfolio
