The tattoo artist you are apprenticing under will only approve you to start work when he or she is certain you are ready and fully trained in all aspects of the art. This includes both washing your hands and putting on surgical gloves. Make sure that your work space is clean and well maintained, as this will make your clientele more comfortable. An autoclave is a machine used to sterilize equipment. You should sterilize your equipment in plain view of your client. Think about explaining this process so your client understands you are taking health and hygiene into consideration every step of the way. You will have to shave and disinfect the area where the tattoo will be applied. You should try to shave in the same direction the hair is growing, to prevent irritation to the skin or cuts. Prior to the actual tattooing, you will transfer a stencil of drawing onto your client's skin to serve as a guide and help prevent mistakes. Keep the skin taut while doing this so the image is applied to the contours of the skin naturally. You will start by using your ink and a single tip needle. Using these, complete the outline of your client's design in preparation for the central parts. Following this, you should clean the area again. At this point you will need to create a single line wider than your first. You will need to use thicker ink and different set of needles for this part of the process. Clean the area again after completing your second set of lines. Now that you've tattooed the outside and inside boundary of your outline, you can apply ink to overlap the two to make sure there are no gaps in the design. The tattoo is now finished and fully applied, but you will still need to clean the area one more time before bandaging it. Now your client's ready to head home.

For your own safety, avoid touching any part of the kettle while it's in use. Lift the kettle by its handle and use your other hand to steady it as you pour.
