Why would a tattoo artist hold a lighter to a needle for 10secs before tattooing?

A: That's a myth method of sterilization. RUN AWAY the moment you see any tattooist doing that.
NEVER get a tattoo from anyone that isn't using sealed pre-sterilized needles.
Tattoos cost a little more at professional studios, but it is MUCH safer. You can contract some nasty diseases if the environment and equipment isn't properly sterilized. A professional artist is also trained and certified in Bloodborne Pathogens and how to work without cross-contamination.
Diseases include, Hepititis A,B, and C as well as HIV. None of those are curable. Staph infection is also a very serious concern as well.
Needles are cheap and readily available. Any tattoist can afford a supply of them. Anything less is simply unacceptable.
B: A tattoo artist can hold a lighter up to the needles for a few seconds to open up the needles a little bit for a slighter larger line and better ink flow. I do this all the time and I am a professional tattoo artist who uses and properly disposes of a new, sterile needle with every tattoo; certified in NYC and Norway for Bloodborne Pathogens. Each one teach one. 33

Im post two years aortic mechanical valve replacement and take warfrin will i be all right to get a tattoo?
Yes. I'm also 2 years post aortic valve replacement and take warfarin and I just started a multi-session tattoo. I'm heavily tattooed and I did not want to give up tattooing. I consulted my cardiologists, and their response was that warfarin was not an issue as tattooing does not go very deep. However, bacterial endocarditis is a factor. They told me that no studies regarding endocarditis and tattooing existed in the United States, but that they encountered some European studies on it. They advised me that I should be discouraged from tattooing and piercing, but that it was my call. They also said that there was no evidence to show if antibiotics helped prevent endocarditis, but they couldn't hurt, so they prescribed me them anyway, which I took an hour before my tattooing. I have had my first tattoo session post surgery not too long ago, which was 3 hours in length. I did not overly bleed, and it's healing nicely. I intend to have many more. I'd consult your artist, warfarin specialists and cardiologists. However, this hasn't been a problem for me and I intend to finish my entire back.

Education required to be a tattoo artist?
Aside from being well versed in art, as you should be a good artist before you attempt to get into this profession. A limited knowledge of perspective, color theory, human anatomy, shadowing, etc., will severely hinder your overall performance and will most likely stunt you in your career at a point. You will want to read as much as you can about tattooing...anything that you can get your hands on. Books that deal with the history of tattooing, the different forms of tattooing such as; coil, rotary, stick and poke, tebori, and hand tapping. Other than this you will want to procure yourself a formal apprenticeship with an artist who will show the technical aspects as far as health is concerned, the techniques of lining, coloring, and shading, how to properly set up and tear down, cross contamination and bloodborne pathogens teaching, how to build and repair tattoo machines, and the universe of other things that are involved in tattooing. This training coupled with the knowledge of art and of tattooing that you have taken the time to learn will take you along very far. Best of luck.
How long do you have to go to school to be a tattoo artist?
Completely subjective question. It all depends on your natural talent and the amount of time you have to offer to learn. In most instances, an apprentice serves at least a year under a tattoo artist before they are told that they are ready and can start to really become a "tattoo artist".
Can you get a tattoo if you have polyarteritis nodosa?
Since it is a disease that affects the blood vessels, I would be pretty wary of tattooing you myself. I would go ask your doctor before getting one. If the doctor says it's okay, then get a note from him/her and go for it, but make sure you notify your artist of your condition and let him/her see the doctor's note before the procedure as well.
