Good color

Hey everyone, my name is kevin and I ve been doing tats now for about two years, Trying to learn as much as I can, Starting doing tats while deployed to Iraq on some of my troops,, after four straight months of raiding towns, we finaly got down time, thats when i realized that i really enjoyed slinging ink, Anyways my question is Ive had a very hard time getting my coloring to stay, the picture looks great when im done but a few days later its like it comes right out of the skin, kinda wierd huh... even when i Use my drill sgt voice it doesnt stay..hehe.. any help would be greatly appriciated thanks sgt mack..

First thanks for fighting for us in this senseless war...Second... YOU ARE A MORON!!!! Tattooing people in a totally unsterile environment.WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?????

well it probably is the smartest thing ive done, but it was either that or playing fear factory and im not eating anything that resembles a cock roach.. lol... when u put 100 plus grunts in one area for along period time were bound find something to keep us busy.. thanks for the appriciation...

excuse me is not the smartest thing

I might be going out on a limb here but maybe your color isnt staying because you've been training in the wrong profession for the last 2 years.

Just hang your needles out about a half inch . Then rub some desert sand in the tattoo ,to set the ink . If that dosent work you may need to sharpen your needles like me ,using a sharpening stone.

Hey there k mack. Don't take the personal shit to heart. These guys spend alot of time keeping peopel from fuckin themselves and others up with bad tats. THe internet is not a good place to get advice for this kind of thing. Remember anything that one does that punctures the flesh and leavess a permanent mark should be done very cautiously and only by someone who knows what they are doing. If you want to know a few pointers I will try and point you in the right direction simply because your stuck about 5000 mile from an apprenticeship and you probably aren't trying to fuck up. Although from the sounds of it you shouldn't be poking people till you learn alot more. If you would like some direct answers email me at [email removed] PS: If you do want to learn tattooing be prepared for alot of ass chewing bullshit for every inch of knowledge, because that's part of the culture.

hey appriciate guys, I will take ur advice and wait for better conditions, the first rounds on me..

GOOD CHOICE MAN!!! Wait til ya get back to the real world .... E-mail me if ya get a chance...just click on my name....We are thinkin about you guys...never forget that my brother!!!.....You are in our minds and hearts!!!!!....TAz
