The technique of applying drawings to the skin - tattooing - is more than 4000 years old. In the 50s and 60s of the last century, the surge of youth culture in America and Europe led to the emergence of a new generation of tattoo artists. If you have decided to apply a tattoo, it is worth approaching this moment very responsibly. Firstly, this drawing will accompany you all your life. Secondly, applying a tattoo at home and with an unsterilized instrument can lead to skin inflammation, blood poisoning, hepatitis and AIDS.
It is necessary
a helium pen with a rod, a mechanical pencil with a clip, a guitar string, a motor from a player with a plastic roller, wires, a power supply, a gear and a bushing from a tape recorder, a plastic tube, a file, pliers
Instructions
Step 1
Take the helium pen and remove the refill from it.
Step 2
Squeeze the ball out of the rod.
Step 3
Take a guitar string and try to insert it into the resulting hole. If the string does not pass, carefully file off the rounded part of the rod with a file.
Step 4
Shorten the handle body approximately in half.
Step 5
Take a string and roughly mark the required length (the length of the string should match the length of the handle shaft). Pull the string tight and bring the lighted lighter to the intended place. The string should be red-hot and burst.
Step 6
Ignite the piece of string you are going to use and straighten it.
Step 7
Carefully adjust the required length and "bite off" with pliers.
Step 8
Gently sharpen one end of the string on a sharpening stone - this will be the needle. The shape of the needle tip can be either flat or tapered. Bending the needle slightly at the end will make it easier to draw fine lines.
Step 9
Bend the other end of the string, which will be attached to the motor, at an angle of 90 degrees.
Step 10
Insert the string into the shaft and the shaft into the handle body.
Step 11
Make a small hole in the nose of the pen. Mascara will accumulate in this hole.
Step 12
Attach the motor using a mechanical pencil clip and tape. Thanks to this "flexible" fastening, you can adjust the position of the needle string.
Step 13
Punch a hole in the motor shaft with a hot needle. The hole diameter should not be too large, otherwise the needle will fall out.
Step 14
Adjust the work of the machine. The depth of full exit of the needle should be 1-1.5 mm.
