Tattoo Supply

Tattoo Supply



Cosmetic Tattoo Supply


By Sarah Freeland




The new millennium brought with it a steady increase in demand for new tattoo supply related procedure, sometimes vaguely called permanent makeup. For the tattoo artist, it can be very positive financial New Rave, but at the same time, it can be quite frightening. The worst end of the process comes with the realization that part of the body that these procedures are carried out on very sensitive areas such as eyelids and lips.




Tattoo SupplyThe actual goal of this technique is a tattoo on certain shades of ink to the target issue, appeared to be makeup at all times. It saves a lot of time to get permanent makeup man, but its only drawback is that it is not removable. Like most tattoos, there are usually no second chance. If you are considering this procedure, think long and hard before taking this step, because there is no turning back.




Regardless of where corporal aim of this new aspect of tattooing, wise artist, of course, learn the tricks of the trade, as demand for permanent makeup is growing by leaps and bounds, and there is an abundance of studios, which currently is offered. To begin with, that the artist would need to collect materials for learning this art. These tattoo supply are generally available through the largest tattoo supply distributor, such as peace tattoo supply, Joe Kaplan tattoo supply, Tattoo XP and needles Jack Tattoo supply. Finding supplies should not be a problem.




Tattoo SupplyOffers materials for this type of procedure instructions (of course), the Book of medical problems, aesthetics for permanent cosmetics Books, permanent cosmetics, equipment and Manuel. You can get different variants of them with any vendor, but if you want them quickly, you can find them online at Society of Permanent Cosmetics Professionals.




Even after receipt of these materials, it remains important to train under a professional for a certain amount of time. Risk of permanent injury and the claim is simply too high risks alone.

The Tattoosday Book Review: 7 Tattoos


First and foremost, let me clear something up: 7 Tattoos by Peter Trachtenberg is a memoir and is not a book about tattoos. Oh, there are tattoos within, and stories about them and how they were obtained. But tattoos help form the context of the story within, and the ink is often secondary to the action at hand.

7 Tattoos is a riveting narrative, "a memoir in the flesh," about the author's inner struggles with his identity and the world around him. His tattoos form the structure of the book, serving as chapters around which Trachtenberg's life revolves.

Imagine a first tattoo: assuming that it wasn't inked on the fly, everyone's first tattoo comes with context. On Tattoosday, I try and tell the story behind the tattoo. But even I know that I am only scratching the surface of the narrative skin.

Each of the author's seven tattoos serves as a focal point out of which a life chapter spins.

From a tribal piece that is inspired by the ink of Southeast Asia (and subsequent trips there) to tattoos that mark chapters in a life punctuated by drug addiction and strained parental relationships, we are given a warts-and-all tour of Trachtenberg's life. As important as the tattoos may seem, they are really just sign-posts with memories in the ink.

Ultimately, 7 Tattoos is about relationships - Trachtenberg's relationships with women, his father, his mother and, ultimately, himself.

He is a writer and his skills show throughout as he describes tattoos with admirable simplicity:
"The tattoo Slam had given me was a drawing of a wrench placed diagonally between two gears. She'd rendered the spinner with punctilious thoroughness, down to the highlights on the chrome-plated shaft, while leaving the gears black silhouettes, and she'd unified the composition by framing wrench and gears with a red triangle that sat athwart my deltoid."
This passage describes the tattoo with political undertones, in a chapter entitled "I Keep the Red Flag Flying". He does a remarkable job taking a 1992 tattoo and narrating back twenty years earlier to 1972. Again, the tattoo anchors the chapter and is the glue that holds it together.

Trachtenberg has skillfully built a personal history around seven works of art. It doesn't matter where they were inked or if any of them are "good" or not. Each piece is a jumping-off point that elevates the memoir above the standard personal history.

7 Tattoos was recommended to me last Spring when I was interviewing poets and writers for my Tattooed Poets Project. I wish I could remember who suggested I read it, because I would love to thank them.

The tattoos in the book are not at center stage, yet they manage to grab a hold of the imagination throughout as we are carried along by the story of Trachtenberg's life. It's an experience I would heartily recommend to anyone interested in good writing, with a penchant for ink.

Tattoo Machines

Tattoo Machines


Tattoo Machines Evolution!


By Matt J. Cararra




Tattoos specialists have only three tools of the trade, which is very important: tattoo machines, ink, and the skill of the artist. Sometimes the skill of the artist can be replaced by the use of paper transfers, but the ink and tattoo machines are indispensable to permanent tattoos.




In industrialized countries like the United States, London and Japan, tattoos are made with the help of tattoo machines. The main function of the tattoo machines is to insert the ink into the skin. Repeated proposals paste ink based on the presence of electromagnetic coils. Tattoo machines with arms. This allows the artist to make a very thin model on the skin.




Tattoo MachinesThomas Edison, who is also the inventor of the lightbulb invented the first prototype of the tattoo machine. She was named stencil pens. She looks like a modern day drill, which blows a few holes in the paper of the particular design. This perforated paper that lies flat on the surface, and then colored powder Dusted on the paper. It works like paper. Design of perforated paper can be transferred to any surface.




After fifteen years, stencil pen was modified and patented by Samuel O'Reilly. His improvement on the stencil pens includes pipe Assembly, the ink chamber, a needle and a switch to turn the device on and off. This new tattoo machines also has the ability to customize strokes.




Tattoo Machine today is similar to the machine patented by Percy waters in 1929. Its design consists of two electromagnetic machines, which are parallel. It is relatively safe because it has a spark shield, and switch much easier. Since then, several other various improvements made on this machine specified Percy waters, but it has essentially remained unchanged for many years.




Tattoo MachinesThat was in 1979 that another patent for the tattoo machines was issued by Carol Nightingale. His contribution to the evolution of the various tattoo machines spring mechanism allows for detailed work. He also added lever control coils. Current machine tattoo has come a long way since then. Today, he is able to control up to speed and depth, which allows him to have an accurate pressure. Tattoo machines continue to evolve today, as the tattoo to keep on adding their own improvements, even without its patents. Verily, tattoo, now the exact form of art

Cody's Eagle Braves the Storm

On the day after Thanksgiving, I was passing through Penn Station and I spotted this tattoo:


This depiction of an eagle flying through a storm belongs to Cody, who was in town visiting from Key West, Florida.


This symbol of strength and courage enduring the dangers of a powerful storm is fitting, as Cody began work on the piece as a tribute to his father, serving in the Armed Forces in Afghanistan.

Cody has already had three sittings for this wonderful tattoo, and is close to finishing it with "Tattoo" Mike Haugh at Key West Tattoo Company.

Thanks to Cody for sharing this great tattoo! We look forward to seeing the final product!

Tay's Angel Reminds Him of a Battle Won

There are many things to be thankful for on Thanksgiving. I know that may cliché , but at its core, there is the kernel of truth. All it takes to remember this is to cross paths with someone who has overcome the odds to prevail in life.

Yesterday I met Tay in the Borders on Penn Plaza, and he shared this tattoo:


Here's the complete piece:


Inked on his inner left forearm, this angelic image is a product of an idea of a spirit watching over him, He gathered a couple of photos for reference and presented them, along with a short written paragraph about the concept, to a tattoo artist at Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts. It was the tattooer who gave Tay the writing assignment. I am impressed that the artist would incorporate that into his creative process, and it makes perfect sense.

Although Tay is not religious, per se, he wanted something spiritual to remind him of his guardian angel that helped him overcome the mortal challenge of cancer.

As it turns out, Tay is a survivor, who has been cancer-free for ten years after a victory over acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Tay notes that, all it takes is a look down at his arm to remind him that he has come a long way from the lows of facing one's mortality at such an early age.

I want to thank Tay for sharing his tattoo with us here. And I wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all the Tattoosday readers!

A tinta não "pegou"

Olá Amigos!
Hoje tive um probleminha em um de meus trabalho com uma cliente.

Pela primeira vez neste período de 4 anos na área como tatuador, encontrei essa cliente que de certa forma me deu dor de cabeça, pois fiz uma tattoo de 7cm X 9cm (uma carpa), contornei o desenho sem problemas. Porém na hora de colorir o desenho nunca vi coisa igual, a pele da cliente não segurava a tinta de forma alguma. Eu usei uma haste com 12 agulhas soldadas flat alternada e tintas da Masters Ink e Electric Ink. Na hora do preenchimento e sombreado degradê, parecia até a eu estava trabalhando sem tinta alguma na biqueira. A tinta não penetrava na pele de jeito algum. Pela primeira vez fiquei até confuso e não entendia o que estava acontecendo. Foi a tattoo mais demorada de se conclui que eu já fiz. Uma tattoo que normalmente levo 01:30h nesta gastei quase 04:00h para consegui a pintura desejada. Eu gostaria de saber se já aconteceu algo semelhante com algum dos tatuadores e qual foi a melhor forma de se resolver uma situação como esta???

Desde já agradecemos a atenção!

Um Abraço!

Doug's Dragon

Back on July 13, I posted a photo of Doug's Geisha. Doug was waiting around the Penn Station area before heading down to see Horisei, at tattoo artist working out of Rising Dragon's Chelsea Tattoo Company.

Doug followed up his moment in the Tattoosday light by sending us photos of the work he had done that day. As would be expected from work by Horisei, the tattoo is beautifully done:






Work from Horisei has appeared previously on this site here.

Thanks again to Doug for sharing his new tattoo work with us here on Tattoosday!

Matheus Falcão, Dragão na Costela, 176

¨Bom me chamo matheus e estou enviando fotos da minha tattoo porque foi a primeira que fiz e a maior também.

Um dia estava vendo uma revista de tattoo e na hora em que eu bati o olho nessa eu me apaixonei. Juntei uma grana e resolvi fazer. Fiz em duas sessões, uma para contornar e outra para colorir.

Valeu muito a pena, espero que gostem.¨

Mike Shares Some More Ink

Back in May, I met a guy named Mike outside of Penn Station and he shared this tattoo with us.

Occasionally, contributors who I have met on the street will send me a follow-up of additional tattoos that I didn't photograph the first time I met them. Mike was generous enough with his time and energy to do just that.

First is a piece that was done around the same time that the lion-skeleton tattoo, featured back in May, was completed, back in 1995:


This, like the previous work featured from Mike, was inked by Doug White at the Ink Spot in Linden, New Jersey.

Mike also sent along this snake:




I love the cross-hatch patterns on the back of the snake. The lines are so finely drawn, I am impressed by the amount of patience it must have taken to get these tiny details just right.

Mike also sent a photo of this gargoyle on his back:


These last two pieces were inked at Tattoo Lou's in Babylon, New York back in 2000. Work from Tattoo Lou's has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.


Thanks again to Mike for sharing more of his ink with us here on Tattoosday!

Two Eclectic Tattoos from TG

I will pace subway platforms, while waiting for my train, so that I may exercise a bit, and, let's face it, spot the occasional tattoo.

After meeting TG on the 59th Street platform in Brooklyn, and talking tattoo with him all the way to 95th Street, he told me I was lucky he had removed his sweater back on 59th.

For it was there that I spotted his tattoos. First I noticed this one:


That is a brontosaurus, which is on his left arm. It was an impulse decision and serves solely as a decorative reminder of a moment in time. TG had just left work with a paycheck and wandered into Rising Dragon Tattoos in their (relatively) new 14th Street location.

The artist was Davide, who hails from Italy, and was most likely a guest tattooer at the time.

TG sings his praises as he took a relatively simple design and gave it his all, down to the shading of the dinosaur's eyes and toe nails.

An even more compelling tattoo is this line-drawn piece:


The caption under the robot and the bear reads "Go for the knees! Bears are known for weak knees!"

This refers to a brief snippet of dialogue in Season 1, Episode 3 ("Blind Date") of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock. The line is uttered by the character Frank, who is played by actor/comedian Judah Friedlander.

The absurdity of the line made it memorable to TG, who chose to immortalize it on his right forearm.

The tattoo was inked by Mike at Mad Pup's Tattooing in Plattsburgh, New York.

Thanks to TG for sharing his two eclectic tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
