This is the most offensive and ill informed insight into tattooing i have EVER seen! What the hell was this doing on TV? No gloves, home made needles, shoddy line work, terrible shading. I am not even a tattooist and i know this.
I know it used to be common practice to make your own needles. They did at least show them being autoclaved which sterilizes them. It’s normal to handle the needles without gloves pre-autoclave. Your artist should always have gloves on when tattooing you though. I learned to make needles in my apprenticeship just to appreciate what used to go into the craft. I don’t use the ones I made though lol, Still, most of this is tattoo is pretty shoddy imo lol.
I wish they had picked a cleaner looking setting/ artist for this segment. All this does is reinforce negative stereotypes about getting inked. People from all walks of life/ income levels/ age groups are getting tattoos these days. They are the ultimate artistic form of self expression. A lot of information was misrepresented here - a good shop can be quite classy, clean, and have true artists working.
When using anything that has to do a tattoo it is best to wear gloves meaning when you clean the machine, clip cords and work area. I then after doing all that wash and changed my gloves again to prevent cross contamination before administering the tattoo. Also putting vasaline on the tip of the gun helps with the needle to enter the skin just as much as putting it on the person I am tattooing. The guy here can also get better line work I really see this person having to come back in a month or 2 saying her tattoo line work is faded.
The reason they do this is because people would repetitively take off the bandage to show their friends, but I agree with your statement. Mine got wrapped in plastic wrap when i first got it for that very reason and I can see why because many people wanted to see it and ripping a band aid off over and over would just suck lol.
I got my first tattoo last year for my 17th birthday. :) it's the Akatosh symbol from the Elder Scrolls series. The version I have is from Oblivion, and is to show my love for the series, and my brothers who introduced it to me. :) not a day goes by where I regret it.
its a machine. it operates in almost the same way as a sewing machine. it injects ink into the skin by puncturing the skin. it does not shoot ink into the skin. they are not called guns, they are called machines. trust me i know.
i have one. for pain, it depends on the area which you're getting a tattoo. and yeah its like running a knife through your skin, but you'll get used to it after awhile.
yea when your tattoo heals if its a good tattoo, make well by the artist, the scab wont just fall off, that may leave holidays or pull ink from the image, it should be taken care of, that way it will eventruly flake off, not scab off. they forgot to mention scratching and picking damages images as well.
Very misinformed and incorrect video. It's a machine not a gun. Disposable products are much better to be used instead of self manufacturing and not using gloves. The tattoo does scab in some cases but its flakes of it doesn't fall off. Plastic wrap is terrible its suppose to be bandaged. Also the tattoo machine doesn't "inject" the ink it pushes the ink to the dermis. Injecting would be a hollow needle with a syringe like attachment squirting the ink into the dermis.
my uncle has been tattooing for 15 years just because some people call it a tattoo machine dosnt mean its officially called that people from different places call it different things you just have to deal with it
this looks like the first tattoo i ever did... low quality thank good ive got alot better at tattooin ... you would have thought they would have got someone who was good lol and good call on the figernails apex
Tattoos are strange thing when it come to pain. There are a couple things that happen. Severe pain (usilly in places that do not have allot of contact with things other than cloths or skin) Pain displacement ( you know they are tattooing in one place but the pain is in a area that isn't being touched at all). No pain at all and reverse of pain but tickles. It is funny when you have to tell a person to stop laughing because it tickles. Also having people with a light hand help with the pain.
All of the information in this video is about 40 years out of date for starters, modern tattoo artists don't have to make their needles they are available to buy from reputable suppliers and the equipment he was using is filthy (look at all the encrusted old ink on the tube eewwww) there are numerous other stuff wrong but as a tattoo artist of 11 years it would take too long to explain all that was wrong lol
@@ianmorgan3980 thanks for replying! I hadnt thought about this video for a long time! Lmaaaooo i wrote that comment when i was only 16 so i understand why the video is shitty now lol even for the time it was filmed they did a bad job, its like they just picked a random place to film at wothout doing any research
who the hell makes the niddles on his own??? and without gloves?? not to mention the fact that the needles were not straight and the tattoo was terrible....
As A professional tattoo artist I would like to say, the least they could have done was gotten an artist with clean fingernails! Secondly, the apprentice in my shop has more skill than this guy! Wow not a very good representation of our profession.
actually its normal for tattoos to scab its part of it healing i have 9 tattoos and they all scabbed that's what the recommended creams are for learn your facts...
Love this video. It was so shitty I can't help but laugh. A lot of old old old school artist will make there own needles but this guy 🤣. 92 hours under a machine and this is just embarrassing 😩
Hes outlining with a round shader, u can see the needle is not pointy and when hes tattooing the outline you can see the lines of the amount of needles there are....terrible
Yeah, I hate it when they call them "guns" too... Always reminds me of people from jail, or who spent time in jail... "got te git me one dem Tattoo gunz!" lol... I always correct people too...
ER MER GURD you're not supposed to put plastic wrap on tattoos it's a breeding ground for bacteria you're supposed to put bandages on because a tattoo is pretty much an open wound that chick probably got an infection due to this guys lack of knowledge
Selena Burke depends on where you get it and your pain tolerance. I got one on my ankle and it was barey more than a light stinging sensation for most of the time
The artist should not have put plastic wrap over the tattoo.. Tattoos need to be covered with a (preferrably sterilized) bandage until the skin has completely healed to prevent unwanted infections.
The tattoo artist should apply a bandage over the tattoo, but it should not stay on. That's the worst thing you can do. Take off the bandage when you come home and don't cover it again. You will get an infection if you keep it covered. Also, plastic wrap increases the chances of an infection, since it doesn't soak up plasma, blood and ink like a bandage does. It keeps them on the surface of the skin which is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria.
***** You can always wet the bandage a bit and then gently pull it off once it comes off easily. If it's wet, then the only part that comes off is the part that you would have removed whilst cleaning it anyway. That shouldn't be a problem, right?
Joel Kennedy the plastic wrap is only for you to get home and wash it.... not intended to stay on for hours. I have found that if I got.home immediately after my tattoo, shower with very hot water and once I can stand it let the water run over the new tattoo for about 7-10 minutes. This helps pores open causing blood and plasma to rush the surface. I notice recovery times are faster if I do this. Usually a week after I'm fully healed.
i have tats and have drawn Hundreds of tats all orignal work and every artist i worked with called it a gun and apex is right he had filthy higene and crapy work
Seriously i spent 4 years doing my full backpiece and my artist never pulled the crap showed in this video. How can the guy claim a sterile needle when he touch it with ungloved dirty hands plus who makes the own needles today i guess showing they come professionally premade and gammaray sterilized wouldnt make for a better episode. Seriously I agree with the guy below me worst tattoo artist ever, ive seen trailerpark tattoos done better and cleaner then this.
@myfood123 first learn some grammar, secondly i am the owner of very successful Tattoo shop in Platteville Wiscoson and have 25 years of tattooing experience. So anytime you want to come and show me how its done Bad Cat Tattoo look us up when you turn 18 kid
wow tattooing has changed a lot from when this was filmed lol
wtf... whoever filmed that piece needs to turn that person in to the health department. wow..
i agree
This is the most offensive and ill informed insight into tattooing i have EVER seen! What the hell was this doing on TV? No gloves, home made needles, shoddy line work, terrible shading. I am not even a tattooist and i know this.
Guy Richardson well I am a tattoo artist and I couldn't agree more, however this is a very old tape.

Holy crap did she say tattoo gun!!!! I feel like this was done in someone's kitchen.
When using anything that has to do a tattoo it is best to wear gloves meaning when you clean the machine, clip cords and work area. I then after doing all that wash and changed my gloves again to prevent cross contamination before administering the tattoo.

Disposable Needles, tubes and grips is the way to go... just so much safer that way.
-sees the tattoo- looks ok i guess...
-sees him cover it with plastic wrap- NOOOOOOOO!!
this is hilarious
I got my first tattoo last year for my 17th birthday. :) it's the Akatosh symbol from the Elder Scrolls series. The version I have is from Oblivion, and is to show my love for the series, and my brothers who introduced it to me. :) not a day goes by where I regret it.
@3Apex3 I have the utmost respect for what tattoo artists do.
its a machine. it operates in almost the same way as a sewing machine. it injects ink into the skin by puncturing the skin. it does not shoot ink into the skin. they are not called guns, they are called machines. trust me i know.
I wish one of my Relatives was a Tattoo Artist.
Couldn't of said it any better.
this video is taken from a old school video , ive seen it on youtube , you would think they could use somethen made in the past 20 years
my fav show
OMG THE TATTOO ARTISTS FINGERS ARE SO DIRTY. ALSDJALSGLS;HDGAS
i have one. for pain, it depends on the area which you're getting a tattoo. and yeah its like running a knife through your skin, but you'll get used to it after awhile.
We don't trace tattoos from our flash, that's not what flash is for...
feel horrible for the person that got that tattoo
Cool story, bro.
yea when your tattoo heals if its a good tattoo, make well by the artist, the scab wont just fall off, that may leave holidays or pull ink from the image, it should be taken care of, that way it will eventruly flake off, not scab off. they forgot to mention scratching and picking damages images as well.
They did not make the needle and crap when my mother got her tattoo. They had already made needles.
its a tattoo machine, not a gun! guns are equipment meant to hurt or kill, tattoo machines are meant to make art.
For that tattoo someone should get the machine and shove it right into his eye, that is shockin
what the hell kinda video is this,,"tattoo gun" lol
that must hurt like hell
Greatest how it's made ever. Oil up your Tat guns are fire some ink bullets away lol
i also know and it can also be called a tattoo gun
but there isn't any 'i' in 'the other end'
@01Lila10 plastic wrap is one of the worst things they can use, its safer and cleaner to use an actual gauze bandage
Very misinformed and incorrect video. It's a machine not a gun. Disposable products are much better to be used instead of self manufacturing and not using gloves. The tattoo does scab in some cases but its flakes of it doesn't fall off. Plastic wrap is terrible its suppose to be bandaged.

my uncle has been tattooing for 15 years just because some people call it a tattoo machine dosnt mean its officially called that people from different places call it different things you just have to deal with it
" he uses this time to clean the tattoo gun with rubbing alchole" should ve taken that time to clean his fingernails with sanitizer
You know, not all rockstars have tattoos.
i'm getting one i have always wanted one when i was 18
Jerome Cabral how did that tattoo work out?
Jerome Cabral did it hurt?
oh great now my seven year old brother is trying to copy him...
You should try this again with an artist.
OH NO DON'T SHOOT ME WITH YOUR TATTO GUN!
TADADADADADADA!
@katatonik666 I bet alot of people would like to see some of your work
this looks like the first tattoo i ever did... low quality thank good ive got alot better at tattooin ... you would have thought they would have got someone who was good lol and good call on the figernails apex
my first tattoo was painfull as i have sensitive skin
that's the first question i asked. "why?" i wouldn't do that if i was offered a billion dollars...
my stick and poke i did with a sewing needle was more sanitary than this 💀
Doesn't hurt that bad to be honest haha. We like to express ourselves through ink
i was thinking the same thing LOL!!
it's called a machine not a gun .. and who the hell takes there machine apart and makes the needle as it is needed
My english teacher has 3 tatoos lol
was the person who the tatto was applied on sleeping or something? He/she didn't seem to move at all :O
i have a tattoo at the same spot. i didnt feel pain when i did it.
pree surprising!!! :O

wow its not a tattoo gun its a machine say gun in most shops an get ready to be corrected
Is she bleeding?
i guess i dont understand because ive never gotten a tattoo but why do you think this guy is so bad? someone please explain

who the hell makes the niddles on his own??? and without gloves?? not to mention the fact that the needles were not straight and the tattoo was terrible....
kitty -akira- black: Quite a few tattooers still make their own needles, but not minutes from doing the tattoo.

I think you can get better looking tattoos in prisons
I'd love to see any of you tattoo someone
I accept
@fujiwaranosai25 well yeah the guy here did it wrong, u usually put some sort of padding under it but the plastic wrap is fine u kno :/
why would she go and spoil her nice leg like that?
Bad tattoo artist, but for all of you who are thinking to get inked: Beware...it's quite addictive!! LOL
I thought it was a dummy leg at 4:37
Love this video. It was so shitty I can't help but laugh. A lot of old old old school artist will make there own needles but this guy 🤣. 92 hours under a machine and this is just embarrassing 😩
tattoo gun... wtf lol xD
Comedy Gold..
@atifxhan haha i forgot about bieng perverty
Hes outlining with a round shader, u can see the needle is not pointy and when hes tattooing the outline you can see the lines of the amount of needles there are....terrible
Yeah, I hate it when they call them "guns" too... Always reminds me of people from jail, or who spent time in jail...
"got te git me one dem Tattoo gunz!" lol...

@88forlive lol, they say he, but they mean she
Yeah......
You're NEVER supposed to put plastic over a fresh tattoo.
yo man can i get a tattoo? yea let me just hand make a needle then assemble my gun.... lolwut?
I hope this was a free tattoo.
i never take a tattoo, i hate needles
it's annoying but doesnt hurt.
ER MER GURD you're not supposed to put plastic wrap on tattoos it's a breeding ground for bacteria you're supposed to put bandages on because a tattoo is pretty much an open wound that chick probably got an infection due to this guys lack of knowledge
i am absolutely disgusted lol im a professional tattoo artist of 6 years and all of this information is twisted and wrong
Does it hurt getting aa tattoo?
yes
On a scale of 1-10 how bad?
Selena Burke 6
Selena Burke depends on where you get it and your pain tolerance. I got one on my ankle and it was barey more than a light stinging sensation for most of the time
I do not remember either of mine being done this way. it seems so much more tedious and time consuming. And this guy is kinda messy.
lol that looks rly hurts lol!
This video is misleading and poorly informed. Was this made for the Kids Channel or Cartoon network ? epic fail !
It's called a tattoo machine, not a gun. Fml.
its called a tattoo gun....
@JordanianPride80 What? What a completely ignorant remark to make.
@freakshow5018 haha yeah I see it
Looked like someone did it with Crayons, how embarrassing lol
@3Apex3 Good for u not that anyone cares...
The artist should not have put plastic wrap over the tattoo.. Tattoos need to be covered with a (preferrably sterilized) bandage until the skin has completely healed to prevent unwanted infections.

Thank you both for providing the correct information :)
***** You can always wet the bandage a bit and then gently pull it off once it comes off easily. If it's wet, then the only part that comes off is the part that you would have removed whilst cleaning it anyway. That shouldn't be a problem, right?
We stopped using bandages in the early 2000's. Saran Wrap is clean enough to wrap food that goes inside your body good enough for the outside.
Joel Kennedy the plastic wrap is only for you to get home and wash it.... not intended to stay on for hours. I have found that if I got.home immediately after my tattoo, shower with very hot water and once I can stand it let the water run over the new tattoo for about 7-10 minutes.

Rvd4always this is a nice video. But I don’t like when she says tattoo gun. It doesn’t sound right.
i have tats and have drawn Hundreds of tats all orignal work and every artist i worked with called it a gun and apex is right he had filthy higene
and crapy work
no its not... but whatever.. call it what you want.
IS SHE BLEEDING o.o
Seriously i spent 4 years doing my full backpiece and my artist never pulled the crap showed in this video.

Wuz with alll these yuppy tat artiss? Back in de block, we ain't need'n nun uh dat fancy shiit!
learn what you are talking about! A proper tattoo will not scab. You use creams to keep them moist.
i ain't letting that tatoo artist touch me.... look at his fingernails - horrible hygiene - that's just an infection waiting to happen.... hahahahaha
@myfood123 first learn some grammar, secondly i am the owner of very successful Tattoo shop in Platteville Wiscoson and have 25 years of tattooing experience. So anytime you want to come and show me how its done Bad Cat Tattoo look us up when you turn 18 kid
why are ppl paying for pain !
