DSDN 144 - Tattoos

Taking pictures of the whole tattoo process was very fun and also a learning experience. I learned that you should never refer to a tattoo machine as a "machine gun" because that is what its called in prison and therefore can be quite offensive around tattoo artists. Also learned that the tattoing machine only cuts up to the second layer of the skin out of eight. These little facts were very insightful and interesting to know. They have several colours for tattooing and a lot of them with very unusual names, such as the "Zombie Vomit" colour.

So I had two very nice volunteers, Sara and Mel. They planned out two very awesome drawings and they were completely fine with me taking photos of the proccess. They both got tattoos on the same spot.
