To whomever uses this. I hope your enjoy the HEP C and MRSA that comes along with scratcher tattoos I know this site has allot of content and they can't always thin out the garbage but this should be common sense. If you are wanting a tattoo get it done buy an artist. Don't try to haggle with them about the price. You get what you pay for and a $50 is going to look like a $50 tattoo. So I leave you all with this image and hope it makes you think

i would advise against using a guitar string as a needle. they simply arent sanitary, Ive gotten an infection twice from a high e string poking me, and going under my skin. use a sterilized needle.

Rubbing alcohol.

[christian2927]

So are they permanent and where are you suppose to put the ink

[diy-guitar-guy]

these wont be very good and they will fade but if your gonna do this DONT USE NORMAL PEN INK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS THE STUFF THAT KILLS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! use indian ink

[pandaboy292]

i made one like it. i  just took the brush off and put a guitar strig in an eraser. it works awesome.

[jodaz95]

what ink is it???

[tom irons]

nice guns! hey upload your tattoos to grimycharms.com when you have them done and taken a picutre!

[gurat]

but the tattoos are permanent or temporarily, just like a hena tattoo?

[standacrazytaco]

permanent and PAINFUL

[mspark400]

Tattoo Design: How well a tattoo ages and how long the colors remain vibrant are most affected by the first three weeks of aftercare given a new tattoo. It also depends on the process of tattoing. It is worth it to spend some money for for professional help.

Tattoo needles are really cheap-$1-$3 dollars on the internet. Just cut to size. Better than a quitar string, and has a better point.

i need help with knowing how to put the eraser in and then after i tape it up i still the string wont go up or down

[golfer12345]

ive seen this befor in a vido

[nightninja87]

i would not suggest heating the tape and wrapping it around all the way in case the needle thing messes up u can change it faster

[coldheart]

no no no never ever ever let the needle go so far in that the ink goes into your blood stream, your aiming for just under the skin layers its a skill to get it just right, thats why people go to tattoo shops, if you make this it should be for fun and to try on fruit or a leg of pork. real ink should be done by an artist after much thinking. not being a kill joy just as someone who spent thousands having ink removed that seemed like a good idea at the time :)

Prison tats ! My brother, yes he is a felon, has a bunch of tats done the same way...

[mikeasaurus]

My brain tells me that every time I read an instructable about tattoo guns that it's the most insane thing. Yet, like a train wreck I can't look away.

[Chefboy6382]

You do know this is a machine right? a gun shoots a bullet. a motor that powers a needle would be classified as machine.

[Weissensteinburg]

Try practicing on a grape fruit...I know a few tattoo artists who use them, apparently the skin is pretty similar to ours.

[drummonkey92]

i made a tatt gun ible too, but mine is ONLY FOR FRUIT (disclaimer) i havnt tried grapefruit, but food colouring on bannanas looks pretty cool lol

[!Andrew_Modder!]

ouch! omg ... id never do this myself. -lol n theres how ppl get tattoos in jail :-P

[funwithfire325]

Lol...

[pyro13]

Well done, if i'm correct, this is a spinning motion tattoo gun right? what kind of ink is that? because some inks can be toxic when in your blood stream. i use food coloring because it is guaranteed non-toxic, and is available to me for cheep. Why a guitar string and not a sowing needle or something?

[funwithfire325]

ITS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE IN YOUR BLOOD...
