Chill out people. I was just wondering if anyone had done it. I was gonna put like a tiny thing somewhere where it would never be noticed, just to try it.

thanks for the advice, I don't think I'll do it.

But just wondering, did you sterilize the needle, like hold it in a flame to kill germs?

that's not a good way to sterilize a needle. boiling it would be better. but the best way is to use an auto-clave and that's not worth getting unless your are a real tattoo artist b/c they are not the cheapest things in the world.
 
Did one once. It faded pretty quick but it wasnt unsafe

ash is nothing more then carbon

and the needle doesnt have to be super sterile if you keep the area clean afterward
 
One of my friends is a tattoo artist. He strongly advises against doing this, so do national laws. Not only will it be painful and highly unsanitary, but it will take forever. Most tattoo machines have several needles in the needle fixture.

Yup the most needles that my artist has used on me so far is 14. and he's got a 30 that we haven't but will use sometime. I got a lot of area to cover
 
people are 2 skeptical

go to Hawaii and get a tribal tatoo

its a piece of wood with 4-8 points cut into it and they dip it in a natural ink and use a wood board to keep poking it in.

same idea man

and just fyi most tattoo artist advise against stuff like this because they would rather charge you 60 bucks in chair time for some small tattoo

my brother does tattoos and only tells people to make a buck

the only people that this can affect are people who dont take care to clean the area thoroughly before and after.

no offense you can get stabbed with a disgusting bacteria infected knife and as long as you clean the wound and take care of it your good to go 90% of the time

not to mention most peoples immune systems will fight almost all infections.

minus the major stuff msra staff etc.
