idky yall are scared to use it on a person. ive made a couple guns similar to this and they work good. i use them on myself and friends. but i always use real ink and change the string out. and put it in alcohol. using pen ink is dumb on a person. but my tattoos have come out looking really good.

Why not to use a home made non sterile tattoo gun filled with biro ink?

Hmmmmm.... Lets see...

Use it first and you just risk septicemia.

Use it after anyone else you risk Hepatitis C, HIV and full blown AIDS.

And my personal favorite being that nothing quite says DUMBASS like a unprofessionally drawn badly faded tattoo done with the wrong type of ink.
