same as drawing when you shade:)
Secondary answer, There are many techniques to tattooing. Shading is mainly based on your artistic style and knowledge base. Pointillism shades by the density of dots, Griding Shades by basically scribbling one direction then the other, IE; vertical then horizontal, then there is the Circular, small circles slightly overlapping for maximum coverage. Line shading, by increasing or reducing the density of the lines. An artist of any worth can apply this and several other techniques to their craft.

How do you shade tattoos?
This takes a good eye and experience for the tattoo artist. There are not many that can shade in a tattoo. It is an art and very difficult. Coloring in and shading are different. To shade you need to have a place where a light would shine then make shadows where they would be if it was a picture. Takes skill. __________________________________________________________________ I disagree that shading is hard. If you have any artistic tendencies and can visualise where things will be darker and lighter you can shade a tattoo. It's no different to where you would shade if you were drawing the picture on paper. From a technical point of view, you need to adjust your machine to a longer stroke so it doesn't hit as fast, wind the voltage down, and use a wash set up to get your shade variations. There are a few different hand motions you can use to achieve smooth shading, circling usually provides the nicest and smoothest shade. It takes practice to get used to the speed and size of circling needed to achieve the desired shading. Practice a lot on yourself before attempting to shade a tattoo on someone else.

Traditionally for the main fill of the blossom, use Bubble Gum pink or a shade thereof, and for the shadowing, you would want to use a shade of pink a few bars down the color wheel. They are almost always done in shades of pink.
Do you need a touch up for your new tattoo?
Only if there are gaps in the outline, or any areas that did not shade as required. Even great artists cannot predict the tattoos lines once healed.

How do you shade a tattoo with a homemade tattoo machine?
To be honest I wouldn't suggest doing any tattoos with a homemade tattoo machine. You can pick up a good cheap professional kit off the net, google it. And as for shading the piece, you may wish to go to your local tattoo shop and ask a few questions and/or watch them. But do not use a homemade machine you will never really get the look your striving to achieve.

How do you mix tattoo ink to get a deeper red?
For this, you will add very small amounts of black ink to the red and thoroughly mix the two until you come to a hue that you are happy with. Other than this, you can simply buy the shade of ink that you are wanting to save yourself the time. If you do mix the ink yourself, write down and keep notes on how many drops you added to the ink that gave you the desired shade so you don't have to go through the process all over again if you are mixing the ink per tattoo as opposed to mixing it by bottle.
