    It will be cheaper if you just buy one because you'll have to buy all the peices stop being Cheap get one on ebay or body jewelry something. Good Luck!

    With the money it would take you to build one, I am sure you would be half way on our way to a professional tattoo. I would just save my money and get a good tattoo. I know that you can buy a tattoo gun as well.

    I've heard of a place in LA that does it because I saw Chris Garver from Miami Ink make his own. I would do some research on how it's bulit and what it is made up of. Maybe you can go to your local tattoo shop and ask around about the epuipment. Good luck!

    Please don't do this!!! I tattoo for a hobby, and i have a professional tattoo machine, not gun. Guns kill people, machines push ink. You could get a cheap one, about $50-$60 bucks on e-bay, but you need to know what you're doing. And don't use guitar strings if you're going to do it anyway, that's just screaming HIV! You should learn a little about tattooing first too. I've been learning for about 7-8 months, and I've only done a few tattoos. Do you know how deep the needle goes? what sizes to use? What kinds of ink causes skin reactions? Do you know anything about blood borne pathogens? It's a really big risk if you don't know what you're doing. If you just want one, go to a shop, because if you do it yourself then you'll be paying way more for it later to get it fixed, or to pay your new medical bills for HIV, AIDS, or a flesh eating disease. I hope i gave you something to think about.
