I bought a tattoo gun and i can't understand how to use it. it doesn't look like it has any kind of motor on it or anything like that and the guy that sold it to me isn't any help. can anyone give me some kind of an idea on how to use this thing? i know that different tattoo guns operate differently but if i could just get some idea then i could probably figure it out from there.

Don't even try. Leave it to the experts. If you don't know how to use the gun you should not try to mess around with tattoo's.

while you're making one it would desire to blow up on your hand leaving you scarred for stay and burning your place down. while you're desirous to make a 'homade-device' to do artwork with you're greater advantageous off purely taking knife, reducing your pores and skin open and pouring ink it. plenty safer and maximum possibly the knife is plenty cleanser than the kit you are able to make by ability of hand...(exaggerating here of direction) Why could you have the desire to make a selfmade device? that's an exceedingly undesirable theory. I hate having to objective a convince human beings from doing issues like this because of the fact it makes me sense like strict determine or some thing whilst i'm no longer. yet this might properly be a foul theory. shop up a pair of greenbacks and pass to a keep or wait till you're of age while you're too youthful and don't do some thing you will maximum veritably sense sorry approximately. while you're an artist or someone with very sturdy imaginitive ability, make your self a portfolio of your artwork. pass to close by tattoo shops and ask approximately an apprenticeship and initiate a occupation as a tattoo artist.

I'm sorry, I don't want to tell you.
...But if you want to learn about tattooing and tattoo equiptment, either learn it yourself, or take an apprenticeship. That's what we had to do, that's what professionals had to do to learn. If you don't know, maybe you shouldn't. I've seen it, time and time again, people that think they can draw/tattoo go out and buy equiptment and then soon enough, they start tattooing friends, and then prace their arrogant butts into professional tattoo shops saying that we should hire them, and how good they are...etc They show us pictures and it is scribbled "hamburger meat". This happens, a lot..
If you want to, go to shops with a portfolio of artwork and try to learn that way, so you don't tear up skin, or put poor artwork on the body...
Not trying to be rude, but anyway other than a professional apprenticeship is the wrong way to go about it.
Good Luck

I would do one thing! Go to a tattoo artist and have them teach you how to use it! why do you have a tattoo gun and not know how to use it in the first place!?!!?!?!?!? Don't start tattooing ANYONE until you have had the proper teaching and a license!

the tattoo gun technically doesn't have a motor per se, it runs on a solenoid. the coil energizes, creating a magnetic field, which draws the top bar(attached to the needle) to it. once the top bar starts moving, it breaks the electrical contact with the coil, shutting down the magnetic field. since the top bar is on a flat type spring, once the field collapses, it comes back up. most people tune their tattoo guns with a small capacitor, to slow down the magnetic field collapse.

...I hope you aren't considering ever tattooing someone.
If you don't know how to get the gun to work, you shouldn't have bought it. I get the feeling like you are going to be causing trouble.
I know what the issue is here (I work as a piercer in a tattoo shop) but I'm not going to tell you.
