TATTOOING IN PRISON

I am sure that many of you have tattoos somewhere.
If not you may know somone who does.
I personally have seven tattoos.
One of wich is fairly new i got it while i have been down.

Getting tattoos,in prison is not as easy as it may seem.
In here we have to take apart cd players or anything else with rotary motor.
You then have to find power source strong enough to work.
Then we need go find one of several things to use as a needle.
Guitar cords, beading needles, or cable cords from tvs.

When you get all that we thn have to find someone to put it together.
Personally i go find the ink while the gun is getting built.
I dont know exactly how the ink is made but i do know its babyoil.
All i know about making ink is you have to burn te babyoil.
After you get the soot you then mix it with shampoo or water.

Now comes the hard part, where to go get it done.
Being in minimum custody its easier to go into other cells.
Now if you get caught its off to the hole to with you.

The most dangerous part of tattooing in prison is getting sick.
I have personally seen someone get MRSA from using dirty needles.
You can also get hepatitus which is way worse.

As i said i have fairly new tattoo so this is what i had to go through.
I am extreamly careful not to catch any diseses.
Of my seven tattoos, five have been done while incarcerated.
By the grace of God i have not caught anything.

I guess i can say that the only thing i have caught is a major infraction.
Recently my cell was searched and they found my tattoo gun.
I recieved a five point major.
All that really means is i loose my custody level.
So instead of being in minimum i will now go to a medium unit.

Getting wrote up is probably the worst thing that can happen.
Besides getting sick that is.
So im glad i got wrote up.

Questions? Feel free to ask
HOYT!
