Well, I can get 250 individual wrapped and sterilized with gas tubes and tip combo for just $20. I already have the needles. So Im guessing that aint your version of a good idea…Still pushing the full disposable deal. I do understand, but to get the amount I would need, It would cost me a few hundred as aposed to just $20 or so. I also have a SHIT load of latex grip covers that go ALL THE WAY around the grip and snug over the tube a lil, so I know it is sterile. SO this setup is exactly what a disposable setup is. It is just cheaper for right now till i can afford the stuff YOU recommend. Does this setup with the disposable tube and tip with disposable grip covers suffice about the same as a full on disposable? Being as EVERYTHING that has SOME contact with client will be thrown away? Im just going over my options until I can get some supplies. SO far, $40 for tube/tip combo and grip covers, as compared to the same deal, 250 full disposable at around $250. Whadya think? And price FOR RIGHT NOW is a big deal.

Okay… for the final time.
Please go to this website… http://unimaxsupply.com/tatneedle/1combopurple.htm
Spend yourself $1.99 for a 1″ needle tube combo.
You are not going to be doing good tattoos – you are not going to be doing thousands of tattoos, you are obviously not working a shop – or your mentor would give you tubes to work with.

Please stop asking for advise – then telling me what you think is a better idea.

$1.99 – I don’t see how you can not afford that??

Buy disposible tube / needle combo – and done deal – end of discussion…
This is the only thing I endorse and due to your lack of understanding for the process… (which is obvious by assuming you can just cover your grip w/ a grip cover and be good to go).

I am not saying you have to use Unimax – I am just making it easy for you – since this has been a very – very painful forum.
Once again – $1.99 for a combo… simple – problem solved.

If you don’t have $500.00 to buy supplies – then you should not be tattooing. You need to get another job – and you need to save your money – work as an apprentice or even as a janitor in a tattoo studio.
Do whatever you have to do to get into a real studio. Learn what you can. Get 3 jobs and spend all your money on getting tattooed. Then spend what little left over money you have on buying tattoo machines, power supplies, and disposibles.
Experiement costs money –
If you are not being told what is good – via an proper tattoo apprenticeship – then you have to spend money and learn the hard way.
You can NOT skimp on being clean w/ disposible.

It seems like tattooing should be such an open / shut case – with disposible and not tattooing at home… and yet here we are going over it again… but its not the message that is lost in translation… i have a feeling that if you were working in a studio – you would be doing a lot of floor mopping.. and giving the guys who work there a heart attack on a daily basis.
: )

AMEN!
