Описание: Tattooing is a serious skill that involves art + hygiene + responsibility. Here’s a clear beginner-friendly guide so you understand the right and safe way to start 👇

1. Learn Before You Ink Skin (Very Important)

Never start directly on human skin.

Start with:
• ✏️ Drawing daily (lines, shading, anatomy)
• 🧻 Paper → Fake skin → Fruits (orange, banana, pig skin)
• Study line weight, depth, shading, and needle control

2. Basic Tattoo Equipment for Beginners

You don’t need expensive gear at first.

Essential tools:
• Tattoo machine (coil or rotary – rotary is easier for beginners)
• Power supply + clip cord / RCA
• Tattoo needles (RL for lining, RS/M for shading)
• Practice skin
• Black tattoo ink (start with black only)
• Gloves (nitrile)
• Green soap / antiseptic
• Vaseline
• Stencil paper + stencil gel

⚠️ Never reuse needles. One needle = one use.

Tattooing is a medical-level procedure.

Practice slow, steady hand movement.
