Tattoo needle coloring requires the use of some basic tools, including rechargeable or plug-in tattoo machines, tattoo needles and needles of various sizes, paint cups, solution bottles, tattoo rubber pads, etc. These tools are often used in tattoo parlors, and it is important for the tattoo artist to be proficient with these tools.
Before getting a tattoo, the tattoo artist needs to choose the appropriate color of tattoo ink according to the customer's needs. The customer's skin color, skin type and tattoo design requirements are also important considerations in choosing ink. Commonly used colors include black, gray, brown, red, yellow and green. The color of the ink should be distinguished according to the rough outline of the pattern. Different colors require different needles and tattoo machine speed control. For example, high-speed needles are suitable for large-area tattoos, while slow-speed needles are suitable for detailed patterns.
When applying color, the tattoo artist first mixes quicklime water, glycerin, water, etc. into tattoo solutions of different proportions, and then injects them into the paint cup. Then put the tattoo needle into the color cup and apply the color evenly. Before applying color, use a cotton ball to block the opening above the control lever of the tattoo machine, turn on the switch of the tattoo machine, let the tattoo machine rotate, adjust the appropriate speed, and then gently apply the color to the tattoo area to be colored. At this time, the tattoo artist needs to keep the pigment applied evenly to avoid obvious color differences. At the same time, maintain the appropriate depth for using the needle.
During the coloring process, be careful not to use the same needle repeatedly or switch needles in one area. After a tattoo is done, the tattoo artist should put the needle into sterile water for disinfection, which can reduce the spread of viruses. It is also important to note that when applying color, try not to injure high-risk areas such as scan scars, glans, genitals and spine.
Tattoo coloring is not simply picking a color and spraying it on the body, but a delicate process. Tattoo artists need to master a variety of techniques and methods, as well as have an in-depth understanding of the colors they choose. Only through continuous practice and learning can different tattoo artists create their own different styles and tones. In the tattoo process, the creator and the bearer must trust and respect each other and work together to create a satisfactory work.
