Video about temporary tattoos and having an airbrush tattoo business. Temporary tattoos have gotten just as popular as permanent ones, as kids like them, as well as adults who want to find out what a tattoo looks like on them before getting a permanent one done.

I just wanted to quickly post this video to show everyone who is thinking about getting into the airbrush tattoo business as a summer business or part time business that there is really no artistic talent needed. The stencils make you look like a pro with not really a lot of effort. It is simple to setup an airbrush tattoo booth, just a few hundred dollars worth of equipment and you have an airbrush tattoo booth. The equipment can be ordered from various online merchants. hope you enjoy! http Airbrush tattoos are getting very big, especially as a part time thing, you no doubt have seen them at weekend fairs and festivals. Temporary tattoos are so appealing just because, well first of all because kids love looking tough and cool, but secondly adults will often tell you they want to “test” one out before they get the real thing. If you are thinking about setting up an airbrush tattoo business, especially if you want to do it just in the summer, it is really quite easy, just a few peices of equipment and some effort in getting shows is all it takes. It only takes about 30 seconds to 3 minutes to put on a tattoo and you can get paid anywhere from $3 to $25 for each airbrushed temporary tattoo so the profit potential is there. agian hope you enjoyed the vid!

Moko Tattoos – New Zealand
Aug 30th
The Maori are one of the oldest cultures that practices tattooing. This video shows a Moko tattoo shop in New Zealand. These are traditional tribal tattoos, that have very specific meanings in Maori culture. Of course, now people of all backgrounds get Maori and other tribal tattoos.
Aug 2003 Renewed interest in Maori culture has encouraged a resurgence in traditional Maori tattoos. The tattoos or ‘mokos’ originate back to pre-colonial times when they detailed ancestry lines and tribal affiliations. “It’s the art of kings,” states moko artist Inya Taylor. To take the pain of the moko is a defining moment in a young warrior’s life. As one Maori explains: “If it doesn’t look really painful every moron’s going to want one.”

Top 2 Tattoo Design Galleries Online
Aug 15th
If you’ve made any attempt at all to try and find the right tattoo design, you know how hard it can be if you’re just starting from scratch with nothing but a Google search field. Sure, there are a lot of sites, but weeding through the bad ones and then finding the style that suits you can take what seems like an eternity.
However, part of the tattoo design process is doing the research and being 100% certain that you have chosen the perfect tattoo.
Traditionally, people would head on down to the local tattoo parlor and flip through the design portfolio of the artists and look on the studio wall to see if any of the designs sparked an interest, but that often wasn’t enough to make an informed decision.
Although there’s hundreds of designs to choose from at the tattoo parlor, some of the tattoo design galleries that are found online can provide you thousands and thousands of high quality design to choose from in the comfort of your own home.
You can browse through them at your leisure over time, discuss them with friends, etc.
So, where can you find the best tattoo design galleries online? Glad you asked!
Chopper Tattoo gets the number one spot for a couple reasons. First, they have a ridiculous amount of high quality tattoo designs to choose from. Second, they update consistently and have an extremely intuitive search engine for their database. The usability is unmatched in any other tattoo design galleries and ultimately why it gets the first place nod.
Tattoo Me Now is a close second to Chopper Tattoo and some might even like it better depending on your needs. While the number of tattoo designs is less than Chopper Tattoo, they still have over 3,500 tattoo designs to choose from in all types of categories. What makes Tattoo Me Now unique is that they have a more complete website with more features such as member galleries and a user forum where you can hang out with other tattoo enthusiasts and discuss tattoos.
Shooting Star Tattoos
Mar 15th
Shooting star tattoos and other star designs are a very simple but popular type of tattoo. Why do people like shooting stars? They are a powerful symbol with many different meanings. Stars are also tattoo designs that can easily work on any part of the body.
A shooting star has always been a romantic symbol, which is why they are sometimes considered a feminine tattoo design. Shooting stars or asteroids also also evoke images of outer space and far away worlds. The shooting star is also an image of fast motion. This can make for a dynamic tattoo design. A skilled artist can convey the idea of movement, in a way similar to a simple movie reel, with the star appearing to soar across the body.
There are types of star symbols as well. The star, as made famous on the sidewalks of Hollywood, has also become a symbol of celebrity. A shooting star, or any kind of star, can therefore symbolize your hopes of achieving fame or status in life.
Stars can also be spiritual symbols, whether the five-pointed star of Wicca or the six-pointed Jewish star. There is also the lesser-known seven-pointed star, associated with fairies as well as the Pleiades.
Having a shooting star or other star symbol tattoo does not necessarily have to mean anything specific. A star can simply be an attractive mark on the body. As a tattoo design, stars are extremely versatile. They can be of any size or color, and they can mean whatever the wearer decides.
Getting Tattooed: How It Works
Feb 1st
So, you’re thinking about getting tattooed, but have no idea how the whole process works? Since a tattoo is for life, it’s good to know what you’re getting into, and the first step is understanding how a tattoo works and what you’re actually doing to your body when you decide to get tattooed.
The Tattoo Gun
Tattoos are accomplished by using an electric-powered tattoo gun. The tattoo gun has a needle at the end of it that is used to put ink inside of your skin deep enough so that it does not come out. When the gun is turned on, the needle moves up and down rapidly (up to 200o times a minute) and is able to deposit a small drop of ink deep into your skin with each puncture.
Tattoo guns have come a long way since the early days of tattooing but are still made a few basic components, those being an electric motor, a sterilized needle, and a tube system. There is also a foot pedal, similar to a sewing machine, that allows the tattoo artist to control the movement of the needle.
Tattoo Safety
Safety has always been a big concern with getting tattooed, since anytime you are dealing with puncture wounds, you have a risk of infection.
Fortunately, it is much more commonplace these days for tattoo artists to open brand new, sterile needles from the packaging right in front of you before you get tattooed.
To ensure the safety of both the customer and the tattoo artist, tattooing materials like ink, needles, and gloves are all made for single use only.
Tattoo Preparation
Minutes before your tattoo session begins, your artist will often begin chatting with you to make you feel relaxed. The chatter is usually accompanied by the artist washing their hands, checking themselves for cuts and abrasions, and disinfecting the entire work area to begin preparation for your tattoo.
When the cleaning of his work area is finished, he will then shave the area of your body that is getting tattooed, disinfect it with soap and water, and open the sterile equipment needed to get the job done.
Getting Tattooed
Once the tattooing begins, you will feel some pain, but how much largely depends on your tolerance and the location of your tattoo on the body, as some areas will obviously be more painful than others.
During the entire tattoo process, the tattoo artist will continue to clean the tattooed area until it is finished.
Tattoo Aftercare
At this point, when you’re tattoo has been completed, the artist will put some ointment on the area and give you a rundown of how to take care of your tattoo so that it heals properly.
Most of the time, you will receive an information sheet so you don’t forget what’s needed to be done. It is extremely important to follow the instructions you were given for tattoo aftercare. Not only are you lowering the risk of infection, but you will be decreasing the chances of your tattoo not healing properly and losing ink or not looking like it’s supposed to.
