Chapter one

The Right Way.

It is important to learn the right way from the very beginning. You ought to read this blog from at first to get an idea of what tattooing is all about. Later, you can go back to each chapter and study them more carefully.
One of the first things to be considered is that you are going to be a professional. This term means that you are going to have a finely developed skill and also a professional attitude. When a professional tattoo artist walks into his own shop, all the distractions of his lifestyle should be left at home. The shop is a place of business (your investment) and should always be treated as such. It should not be a club-house or a place for people to hang out. If it is, your investment will not last very long and this is a good way to get a poor business reputation. A bad reputation is very hard to change and makes it very difficult to build-up any kind of a following.
Sadly, most of the people who begin to tattoo give it up very soon. This is very common and it should not happen to anyone reading this book. These people may have bought the wrong equipment that they didn’t know how to use properly, experimented with it, and failed. This can be very frustrating and lead to the end of a tattoo career very quickly.
It is good advice to purchase supplies from reputable dealers. Cheap equipment does cheap work and is not the mark of a professional person. The wrong equipment will hold progress back, so do try to buy the best that can be afforded. All the tools of the trade are tax deductible,* and quality purchases will never be regretted. The majority of tattooing supplies may be purchased through mail order. As tattooing skills are developed, the choice of equipment becomes a personal matter and each individual will hit upon different combinations of equipment and supplies.
