Okay I am buying my boyfriend a tattoo kit for christmas, he has been working with a friend doing tattoos and wants one of his own to start practicing at home... I am not sure, since i know nothing about this, what kind of transfer paper to buy him?? we have a copier but i dont know if it'll work or not, and i thought it might be easier to get him paper you could draw on to make the transfer.... so my question is, what is the difference between thermal paper and hectograph... and is there other paper i can buy... please help and let me know what is the best idea....

There is a difference in that thermal paper requires a thermal heat transfer machine. Hectographic paper can be used in a dot matrix printer, for instance, or drawn on by hand.
Tattooing at home is bad business - so therefore this is a bad gift idea. Who is going to teach him to work clean and safe? If he gets hepatitis B or C, guess who gets it next? Tattooing is a profession, not a kitchen table hobby.

Please don't buy him a kit. Talk to tattoo artists in the community and get him an apprenticeship. He will be trained by a good artist, and there's a high chance he won't mess up someone's skin. To go along with that, tell him you'll help support him while he learns. It takes a lot of time, but the end result will be worth it.

Get him the thermal paper. Some starter kits come with it. There is a lot of expense involved in starting out, and he is going to need help and advice in order to begin properly. It might be to his benefit to drop a couple hundred bucks on a reputable tattooist (peferably the shops owner) just to help him out by answering his questions. Make sure the owner knows that he isn't going to get in the way or be a pest. It would be good to go in and get a small tattoo from him to discuss it before giving him his 'tip'. This will get his respect. Make sure the person he chooses for help seems to be of good character. There are a lot of swell-headed idiots out there. Good luck!

Don't listen to these people. I bought one, no internship and I'm doing good.
