White Ink Tattoos / UV Tattoos - A Short Introduction
 

What white ink tattoos are: Forget about the old fashioned blue and black colored tattoos, the new age fad seems to be white ink tattoos which have been gaining popularity steadily over the last few years. White ink tattoos involve the use of, as you would know by its name, undiluted white ink. White ink tattoos look very much different than the other kind of tattoos. For one they are more transparent in nature compared to the traditional tattoos. Another distinction between white ink tattoos and other tattoos is that the former glow brilliantly under black light (that's why they are also called UV Tattoos or Glow in the Dark Tattoos)! Not everyone can and should go for white ink tattoos though; only those who are blessed with a clear, pimple-free and pale skin tone should go for these tattoos. The design of white ink tattoos vary greatly but generally speaking, they look like raised white scars painted in relief on the skin. If you are someone who yearns for uniqueness than you cannot get any more unique than getting a couple of white ink tattoos painted on your skin. Mind you though, this is not a job for amateurs so you should get them done by expert tattoo artists only!






Is it for you?


What to do before you go for white ink tattoos:  Before you get obsessed with getting white ink tattoos painted on your skin, you should make sure that you have searched for the right design that would suit your skin and if you cannot find one, then at least get the right tattoo artist who would do it for you!

Tattooed Eyes

In ancient times, Roman surgeons would tint the eyes of elderly patients who had lost their vision to cataracts or other eye diseases. The resulting tint allowed their eyes to look natural again, even if it didn’t restore their sight. In the modern age, we have cures for many of the eye conditions that afflicted Romans—but we still tattoo our eyes for cosmetic reasons. The modern technique is less risky for those who still have their vision, so it’s no wonder that the trend has taken off…

How to Become a Tattoo Artist


Tattooing is exciting and it allows one to express themselves. To ensure success in this career, you have to learn about how to become a tattoo artist. There are several steps that you must take to make sure that you understand how to do tattoos, how to get a job and how to build your business. As long as you have the right information, you will find it easy to get started so that you do not waste time carving out your career.


There is no short cut



Let us say one thing very clear at the beginning. There is no such thing as a short cut in here. If you want to be a tattoo artist, you have to learn it. No magic sauce, no pill no nothing. Tattooing is an art form and even more than that, your using human skin to paint your art on... for good. A happy client is a returning one. So learn your skill, practise and show true grit about what you are doing. For your inspiration we included a video by Angela Lee Duckworth talking on a TED event about GRIT and the success of school kids showing true grit. It's not directly related to the art of tattooing, BUT if you want to master this form of art and become a real tattooist, it's all about showing read dedication, passion and patience. In other words true grit!







Learning about Sketching and Drawing


Being proficient in sketching and drawing is the hallmark of a successful tattooing career. You should begin by taking art classes that focus on sketching and drawing. You can find these classes in many places, such as local recreation centers, libraries, community colleges and universities and at community centers. If you are new to art, it is best to take a more formal class at a school so that you can learn how to properly execute the various techniques.
Learning to draw and sketch does not happen overnight, so it is important to start as soon as possible. Many of the world's best tattoo artists started drawing as children and took classes in middle school and high school. Outside of classes, it is important to constantly practice to improve your skills. It is often recommended that you carry around a sketchpad and basic drawing materials so that you can draw the world around you.
Consider at least a year's worth of sketching and drawing classes before you learn how to take your art and turn it into tattoos. This time allows you to learn how to sketch and draw, as well as learn other important art techniques like blending and shading, both of which are critical for realistic tattoos.

Learning the Art of Tattooing


Once you have solid sketching and drawing skills, you have to look at the different tattoo starter kits available and choose one. A good kit has the tattoo gun and all of the required needles and tools to complete a tattoo. It will also have a variety of ink colors and other chemical supplies necessary for tattooing.
After you hone your drawing and sketching talents, you need to translate this into tattoo design. You can often find tattoo drawing classes in major cities throughout the country. These classes help you to take basic drawings and turn them into sketches that work as tattoos. For example, if you draw people, you know that general drawings do not make good tattoos. You have to adapt the drawings so that you can make them look good using a tattoo gun and tattoo ink instead of pencil and paper.
In most cases, it takes a few months worth of classes and practice to learn this. If you cannot find a class in your area, you can reach out to local tattoo artists and ask them for instruction. Some tattoo artists teach tattoo art and design on the side for a set fee.

Getting Started in the Tattoo Business


Once you understand tattooing, have the right tattoo starter kits and have an employer, you will start off as an apprentice. This is where you work closely with an experienced and established tattoo artist to hone your craft and learn everything necessary to tattoo independently. At this time, you also need to look into the laws of your state or city to ensure that you pursue the proper licensure so that you are working legally.

To earn an apprenticeship, you will need to reach out to the tattoo shops in your area and ask them if they are willing to host you. On average, apprenticeships last about three years. During this time, you are working as a tattoo artist, but you are supervised to ensure that your work is good and done safely and properly. You generally pay the person supervising you for their services and how much this costs varies greatly and depends on the agreement that the two of you work out. Other things apprenticeships generally cover include:

  • Proper equipment handling and sterilization
  • Skin disease and infection prevention
  • Blood-borne pathogen prevention
  • Business aspects of tattooing
  • Tattoo design
  • How to operate tattooing equipment
  • Customer service


Some municipalities will require that you take education courses, so be sure to check with your state, city and county to see if this is something you must do before starting your apprenticeship. These classes are generally for health and safety reasons, and may be sponsored by the local health department.

Building Your Tattoo Business


Once you know how to tattoo and have some clients under your belt, you will start advertising. Most tattoo artists work as freelancers, meaning that they are not directly employed by the shop that they work at. Instead, they rent space there and a percentage of their earnings go to the tattoo shop. Many tattoo shops do some light advertising, but for the most part, you are responsible for building your own client base.
Start by taking good photos of the tattoos that you do so that you can create a portfolio. You can use this to show potential clients the extent of your skills. You can also do traditional advertising, such as listing your services online, on bulletin boards and creating things like fliers. You can also give your regular customers incentives to refer their friends and family to you for tattoos.


Final Thoughts


It takes about three years to learn the tattoo business and be proficient enough to venture out on your own. Those who already have artistic talent generally need less time since this is the most time-intensive part of the process. It is important to not rush your training because you want to provide high-quality tattoos to everyone you work with so that you can make a name for yourself and earn a comfortable living.

What Makes Tattoos Permanent?

What Makes Tattoos Permanent?


Did you ever wondered why tattoos are permanent? We all know that each cell of the body is renewing itself over time. Following this logic, a tattoo shouldn't stay for good in your skin. Right? But why is it then permanent? Good question, right?!

We could write a long article about how the skin works and why the ink stays for good in there (it does fade a bit!). Instead of writing a lot of words for you to read here is something way better. Do you know TED? If now, have a look at their website. Their tag line is "ideas worth spreading" and that's what they do. If you ever have the possibility to attend a TEDx speech some were, do that! You wont regret it for sure. But back to the topic, TED made a brilliant video and explained why tattoos stay for good in skin. In a little over four minutes you know it all.

Here it is:

Where Is The Best Place For A Tattoo?


Please don't expect any tattoo artist to answer you that question! There is no such thing as the "best place for a tattoo", period! This is something really personal and depends and a lot of personal preferences. I got my first tattoo on my rib cage. Left side. Why? Because the heart - yes, I know only, the left hart chamber - resides on the left side of the rip cage. For me, it was about getting a "seal" on my heart after a very rough ride in my life! So, this was the perfect spot for me to get inked. What's your prefect spot? I while ago I stumbled upon a really brilliant infographic (unfortunately I didn't saved were I found it). I would quote you the source, but I really don't know it anymore. The infographic is nice overview of the most common places to get inked.

Welcome to our blogger.com presence. Besides operating our main blog under www.inkdoneright.com, we decided to also participate in this community. We wont be able to blog with the same frequency here as on our main site, at least not now. We are still in the process to build up our presence in the web. So WELCOME!

Who we are? Well in an essence we are a bunch of people fascinated and addicted to tattoos! One day we simply decided to start a tattoo community. The very first step was to start on facebook and twitter. After a few weeks there was already a vibrant community there. So we decided to move into the web and open a site. There we wrote a bigger blog post on our main property to explain "why" we are here - more related to the website than the deep philosophical question of life!

What the hack we are doing on blogger when we already have a main site? Good question! As every young site we are trying to get the word out! That's the pure "naked" truth. We wont ask you to go over to our site, as you will find more than enough interesting reading material on here to (over time!).

So, we hope you'll enjoy our articles! Every comment is more than welcome!

Thanks taking yourself the time to read those few lines and be welcome again!
