No. Black ink has to be covered with black ink.For example, if you got a tattoo that was all yellow and blue, you'd need to have it covered with darker ink. You can't go lighter, or else the old tattoo will show through.
Depends on when you go the tattoo. It takes 6 months for a tattoo to heal believe it or not, and within that healing period DO NOT TAN! It is really bad for the tattoo. It could cause fading, ghosting and color leaks. After your tattoo is all healed just double check with a tattoo artist to make sure its all healed, healing times vary by how well your skin accepts the ink. Then you can go tanning, but I suggest you use a special tanning lotion to help prevent fading of the tattoo. If you want your tattoo be remain vibrant longer I suggest you don't go tanning at all.
It should go all the way to the dermis! Which is the second layer of skin.
No, tattoo ink does not typically contain iodine. Tattoo ink is made up of pigments and carriers that are specifically designed for use in the skin. Iodine is not a common ingredient in tattoo ink.
If you don't go that deep, the customer's skin will eventually shed the tattoo.
On you.
You could use a needle and Indian ink, you would have to use fast, sharp poking motions so that the ink will go into the skin, it all depends on your pain tolerance and if you can do this to yourself :)

To get the best feel as to how fast you should go while working with tattoo ink, you should use tattoo ink, but for a melon you could save ink and just use India Ink which is much cheaper. This will allow you to at least play around with the machine and get a feel for it. You can never trust the results of tattooing fruit since the lines bleed out into the skin and they will look far less perfect than they might actually be. Once you've tackled melons, practice on your own thighs and calves. This will allow you to get a real feel for how fast to go with the machine, skin stretching, ointment application, puncture depth, shading techniques, etc. When you get to that point, of course switch over to real tattoo ink. Best of luck.
yes!
No, no, no. If you want a tattoo go to someone who does it.
I know multiple people with tattoos and no. I do not think they puss ink. You should probably go to the tattoo artist and question him, or go to the doctor.
Its not recommended but if you do, then use plenty of factor 50+ suncream even if you are in a swimming pool. This prevents the tattoo fading and the ink 'dying' on the surface of the skin.

Yes, you can blend dark tattoo ink over light tattoo ink, but never the other way around. This is why when you do a color tattoo, a portrait for example, that will always start with your light pigments, work into your intermediate shades, then to your darkest shades, and you will then add highlighting to the piece where needed to make it pop.
