If it doesn't go deep enough into the skin then the skin could reject the ink or get infected.

Do you use tattoo ink when practicing on a melon?

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.

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.


Can colored tattoo ink be put on top of black ink to cover up an old tattoo?

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.


Can green tattoo ink go on top of yellow tattoo ink?

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.
