i am thinking about getting a homemade tattoo

I know everyone is telling you not to do it but I can tell you from experience and living with a stupid ugly homemade tattoo for the last 21 years.......DONT DO IT PLEASE. I thought it would be cool to let this guy give me a homemade tattoo of a freakin cross on my breast. well guess what it is not cool I hate it and in one month will finally be saying good bye to that stupid ugly tattoo. The comments I have endured over the years....even one saying that the cross meant I was owned by a mexican (not that there is anything wrong with being hispanic...dont get me wrong...but i am not owned by anyone!). Infection is the last thing you have to worry about. If you really want a tattoo I urge you to wait until you can have a professional one. It is your body and you can do with it whatever you want but I just wanted to tell you a little bit of my personal hell with a homemade tattoo. Peace!

Unless you want to look like a gangbanger or an ex-con, fugidaboutid!
Homemade tattoos, and tattoos on the hand are generally looked upon as indicators of gang or criminal activity. If you want to brand yourself as a probably outlaw, go a head.
I think it is a really lousy idea. Talk to a professional tattoo artist. Lots of them will not put tattoos below the wrist.

Infected??? It depends on how clean the tattooing needle is. You can get a lot of STD type diseases from dirty needles.
I personally know a dude who got hepatitis 3 from a tattoo, it's haunted him since 1987.

homemade like how? most likely you will get some sort of infection, even if it's little and goes away

you may get lucky and it might not fade. but you may end up with any number of diseases. don't get a homemade tattoo unless you are willing to catch one of them.

please don't do it. keep in mind they are permanent so if u screw it up.....or do something wrong with the tattoo machine....
just go to a professional and get it done. there is less risk if u go to a reputable shop. they should let u watch them set up so u know that everything is new and sterilized.

How about you just go to a professional? You won't have to worry about infection and you'll get quality.
Let me guess... You're not old enough, right?
