Answer:

Have you ever wondered how a person gives a tattoo? I have pondered this question for many years, ever since I got my first tattoo. Even though tattoos are more common than they were years ago, tattooing is a process that is complicated and a skilled art. The process of giving a tattoo can be very in depth and difficult to understand. For many years, the process of giving a tattoo was only learned by proving one’s self to a tattoo artist in hopes that they would give you your own tattoo machine one day. Now that the art of tattooing has become so popular, it is more easily learned. There are many different steps to follow in giving a tattoo. The first step is talk with the client about what tattoo that they are interested in getting.

Once the foot cord and clip have been connected to the power supply, the artist will turn the power on to the power supply, and test that they have a good connection to the machine. You will hear a buzzing sound when the machine is turned on. The next step in giving a tattoo is deciding which needle will be used for what application. There are different sizes of needles: liners, shaders, and mags. A liner tattoo needle has as few as one needle or as many as 14 needles in one needle (Element Tattoo Supply, 2008). A liner needle is used for the outline of a tattoo and small detail work. A shader needle has anywhere from one up to 14 needles (Element Tattoo Supply, 2008), and is used for coloring or shading a tattoo. A mag or magnum needle has five to 15 needles (Element Tattoo Supply, 2008) and is used for larger tattoos. The artist may use a round shader needle to do color in a large tattoo, or use a mag, it is up to the artist on what they like to use. The flat shader needle is a flat line of needles that is usually four or six needles. A mag needle is like a flat shader, but there are more needles, and more rows of needles. An artist will use any sort of combination of needles in a tattoo. It is up to the artist on what they prefer to use to what part of each tattoo. [Some tattoo artist will order their needles from a different supplier than Element Tattoo Supply. Another supplier may offer more needles, up to 39 needles.] Before setting up the tattoo machine.
