https://ritualdust.com/craft/tattoo-station-setup/ Table of contents Setup Teardown Green soap recipe Setup Step 1: setup surface Wash your hands Put on gloves Spray top of station with water or alcohol Cover top of station with plastic film, leaving some overhanging Cover power supply with bag Tape a dental bib on top of station Step 2: prepare supplies If making a large tattoo or one with a lot of a color of ink it's best to take out more ink cups and fill them than having to refill during the tattoo Take out these supplies and lay them on the station: new disposable razor machine bag (cut a corner) disposable grip (drop without touching) clip cord bag (only touch ends) wash bottle bag rubber nipple ink caps small strip of tape enough strips of paper towels for the tattoo Cover green soap bottle with a bottle bag, while touching the outside of the plastic as little as possible, making sure to cover the bottom, then put it on the station Using a wooden stick, scoop some vaseline and then using the other side scoop some shea butter (or other tattooing lotion), then put the vaseline on the top of station to hold the stick in place and stick it in in with the vaseline and lotion on top Get your ink caps out, dip the bottom of them in vaseline and stick them to the wooden stick Get the needles that you’ll need for the tattoo out and put them on the station Step 3: prepare machine Keep the machine and clip cord on the tattoo bed until they are fully bagged to prevent cross-contamination of the clean station Slide clip cord in clip cord bag while touching the bag as little as possible, protect part of clip cord closest to the machine Plug clip cord in power supply and keep the other end covered with the bag on the station Take the disposable grip and slide the tube part through the small hole in the machine bag, then reverse the bag on your hand and the grip Grab your machine and attach it to the grip, then pull back the machine bag on the machine Plug the clip cord in the machine and tape the machine bag close, now you can put the machine on the station step 4: prepare tattoo bed Once everything is off the tattoo bed, spray it with medical disinfectant and leave it on for the maximum kill time Wrap the area where the tattooed body part if gonna be, plus a bit larger with plastic film If using an arm rest, clean it and cover it with plastic film too Step 5: Prepare and apply stencil Step 6: pour ink Once the stencil is applied and drying, put a new set of gloves Shake your ink and pour it in the ink cup and get ready for tattooing Teardown Wash your hands and put on gloves Remove needle from grip, put all needles in needle disposal container Remove the plastic covering the tattoo bed without touching the top surface, wrap it in a ball and throw it away Remove grip from machine and leave it on the station Drop machine and cable out of plastic on the tattoo bed, leave the bags on the station drop the wash bottle out of its bag onto the bed without touching it and leave the bag on the station Wrap all the stuff on the station in the plastic without touching the top surface and throw it away, removing your gloves at the same time Put on a new pair of gloves Spray the tattoo bed, station top, machine, wash bottle, clip cord and power supply with medical disinfectant and leave on for the maximum length of the kill time Green soap

a size that seems good for the placement Cut around the printed design and try it on the body of the client, making sure the size is good If needed, resize with the printer, print again and double check the new size Step 2: Copy stencil by hand Once the good size was found, get a sheet of stencil paper and remove the tissue paper barrier Tape the printed design on top of the stencil paper to prevent it from moving Using a ballpoint pen, trace over the lines of the design while applying good pressure Before removing the design, make sure all the lines are copied Remove the taped design and cut the stencil to size Place it onto the tattoo bed, stencil side up Step 2: Copy stencil with a thermal stencil machine Once the good size was found, tape the design on a blank sheet of paper, leaving some room at the bottom Get a sheet of stencil paper and remove the tissue paper barrier Place the stencil paper in the machine Place the sheet with the design in the machine Press copy and hold the stencil paper with both hands slowly pulling on it while it copies the design Once the copy is done cut around the stencil and place it onto the tattoo bed, stencil side up Step 3: Prep skin Wash your hands and put on some gloves Take your razor and shave very closely the area you’re gonna tattoo + around 2 inches After the skin is shaved, use an alcohol pad or prep stuff to sterilize the skin Step 4: Apply stencil Once the alcohol has dried, apply a moderately generous amount of stencil stuff to the area, spreading it with your finger to get an even thin coat Hold the stencil over the area and when really sure of placement apply it onto the skin starting from the middle Slowly stick the rest of the stencil to the skin with your finger working from the middle towards the outside Rub it slightly when it’s all stuck to the skin Slowly peel the stencil off Leave to dry for around 10 minutes https://ritualdust.com/tattoo/bloodroot/ Sun, 17 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000
