High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prison Tattooing has been taking place for quite some time. They are used to portray gang membership. These tattoos are often codes and have hidden meanings. The process of getting the tattoo has many risks. Since tattooing in prison is illegal, the inmates do not have the proper equipment to tattoo. In prisons around the globe, inmates find ways to create their own tattooing devices out of their belongings. They take apart radios, have to smuggle materials into their cell, then build the machine themselves with random materials such as mechanical pencils, magnets, radio transistors, staples, paper clips, guitar strings, etc. Along with these devices, the inmates have to find a way to make ink. Commonly used materials are ink from a pen, melted plastic, soot mixed with shampoo, or melted Styrofoam. Like professional tattoo artists, these inmates expect to be paid for their work. Payments that the artists accept are anything from stamps and cigarettes to actual cash.
