I gave myself a tattoo by hand in the seventh grade. I used black acrylic paint and a sewing needle. For the first half I managed to fit the needle into a mechanical pencil, but the second half I just used a plain sewing needle. It was not painful at all, but it did take a good four hours to create an incredibly small Chinese symbol for power. It’s only half an inch wide and an inch tall. I thought it would fade in two years, but I still have it and it’s been three years. Theres also a scar.

@kakarot138 All tattoo artists! (Proper ones) undertake an apprentice with a qualified tattooist!. Anything else, is just cowboy!
