The main components of any home tattoo kit are needles and ink. Only use tattoo needles that haven't been used. Tattoo ink is the only type of ink you should use, but not always easy to find. India Ink is commonly used as calligraphy ink but is the only ink that is not tattoo ink that can be used as tattoo ink. Don't use pen or marker ink!  Home tattoo kits are the safest option, are inexpensive, and include both supplies and instructions. Find a reputable brand of tattoo ink to ensure it doesn't contain any toxic ingredients. Don't use sewing needles, straight pins, or safety pins. They are not sterile, even if they are new. It is extremely dangerous to use any of these objects to tattoo yourself. You may end up in the hospital. They don't hold the ink well and generally aren't the right type of needle. You need to be as professional as possible if you are going to do this yourself.   Don't use old needles. Don't share needles. Doing either of these will put you at serious risk for infection. Also, be sure to safely dispose of the needles when you're done. You'll need a few other things before you start putting needle to flesh. Grab some cotton thread, a cup for water, and rubbing alcohol.   Keep a non-permanent, non-toxic marker around for drawing potential tattoo ideas.  It's a good idea to keep ink caps, a shallow bowl, or saucer handy to pour India ink into. Ink caps are inexpensive and can help prevent you from wasting ink. Sterilize with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide that is 91-99%  alcohol. It's important to make sure everything you use is clean. Wash any bowls or saucers you'll be using in hot, soapy water and peroxide/rubbing alcohol, and then cover them with plastic wrap. For extra protection, wear gloves that are very well sterilized when handling any of the supplies you'll be using. Wash gloves (if using) and hands multiple times throughout the whole process. Wherever you decide to tattoo yourself, clean it with soap and warm water. Shave the hair off in the area about an inch larger than you want your tattoo to be. After you shave, sterilize your skin with rubbing alcohol. Dab it on with a cotton ball and make sure it's evaporated before continuing. Trace or draw your desired tattoo in the place you want it to go. You can have someone else do it for you if you want, but take the time to get it how you want it. This image is all you'll have to go on once you start. You can also use stencil paper and stencil gel to make it more accurate.   Since you'll be tattooing yourself, make sure the place you choose is easily. You WILL be poking for a few hours. Awkward or hard to reach places on the body, such as your chest or shoulder, are never good ideas for stick 'n' pokes on yourself. Stick 'n' pokes work much better with simple and tiny tattoos. If you want a complex tattoo, you're better off going to a parlor.
