Introduction
When learning how to tattoo it is imperative that you first learn the steps to tattoo the safe and right way. While expressing yourself on the ultimate canvas-the human body-it can be a very rewarding, proper safety precautions are a must.
In this handbook, I will provide 12 easy steps in “how to” tattoo. Be sure to read through the entire handbook before attempting to get started. This will provide you with a good overview of what is involved in learning to tattoo, the proper tools and equipment you will need and very importantly, the right safety precautions to follow.
This handbook will provide you with 12 easy steps and the basics of what you need to get started on your own, BUT please do remember that it is not intended to be a substitute for the real hands on instruction of a certified and skilled tattoo artist. While I will show you the basics of tattooing, including the equipment and various techniques used in tattoo application, I strongly encourage you to locate a certified tattoo artist to work with as well.
Finally, don’t forget that learning to become a top tattoo artist requires knowledge (which I provide in this starting guide) along with a lot of practice and patience. Unlike many similar guides, the information I provide in this guide is presented in a straightforward manner; no fluff and nonsense to waste your time. I am to give you the good stuff you want and need to get started tattooing. I highly recommend the comprehensive guide, The Ultimate Tattoo Guide for much more extensive information.

learning to tattoo and not meet the standard of perfection, it should be understood that through perseverance and a love for the art form of tattooing it is possible to greatly improve. Even though you may be just getting started at tattooing, you can become a great tattoo artist. The first step toward that goal is reading this guide and acquiring the necessary knowledge.
I do want to be straightforward with you. Most people who begin learning to tattoo won’t stick with it. I said it takes practice and patience and I meant that. Unfortunately, many people simply quit before they acquire the finely honed skills they need to succeed. Many of these people may lack the proper guidance, knowledge and equipment. Others get frustrated and just throw in the towel.
The best advice I can give you is this…learning to become a top tattoo artist requires proper knowledge and skills as well as a focus on using quality equipment. I can’t stress the importance of starting off on the right foot enough. Take the time to visit a local tattoo shop and observe one of the artists. Ask questions. This type of hands on observation will make the 12 steps outlined in the guide really come alive for you!
It is also imperative that you learn to develop good habits and do things the right way. I will stress this frequently in the following guide. Taking your time when learning to tattoo and learning to do everything the proper, and clean, way is extremely important. It is far better to start out slowly and do things the right way than to rush through things, pick up bad habits and regret it later. Not only will rushing and bad habits reflect in the quality of your work but it will also lend itself to your reputation and ultimately spell bad business.
