my grandfather was in the merchant marines. he went out drinking with a group of guys one night and they decided to get tattoos. A lot of them were getting "mom" on their arms. My grandfather was raised mainly by his older sister, Bunny. He had "bun" tattooed on his arm.
i loved that man.

prisons styles utilize the motor from a walkman, a filed down piece of hard plastic, some rubber bands,and ink from a pen. The process with the ink I can't remember how its done, but melting some plastic in to it was involved somehow.

the D&AD mailout that just went round "inviting" us to become members had all these designey nonces with D&AD tattoos on them, it looked really silly. i wanted to photoshop one on my arse and do a D&AD mooning via email but i thought that would be a bit rude.

You will need the following:
Mechanical Pencil or a Bic Round.
An old casette motor.
Wire (from the walkman)
An eraser (from the mech pencil.)
Coffee Stirrers
Thin sewing needles or high-e string from a guitar (metal).
Super glue
An old toothbrush.
Electrical tape.
Lighter
India ink.
Paper towels.
Alcohol.This is hard to explain w/o a diagram but here goes:
Disasemble the walkman and remove the motor and the longest wires. Attach the longest wires to the motors wires. There should be 2.
The portion of the motor that spins will have the eraser attached on the flat part of the cylindrical eraser.
You will then need to stick in one needle as close as possible to the edge of the eraser. This will make your needle move up & down.
Glue another thin needle, or a .75" piece of guitar string to the tip of the coffee stirrer and set aside to dry. This must be as straight as possible.
Disassemble the mechanical pencil so that it is a hollow tube. With some you may be able to keep the nib as a precise guide for the needle. This helps to keep the needle from bouncing all around causing random dots to your line art.
With the toothbrush remove the portion containing the bristles. the handle will be used as a bracket to hold the motor to the chamber. Use a lighter to heat the tooth brush in the center just enought to bend it to an "L" shape.
Glue the toothbrush to the top of the mechanical pencil with the top to the toothbrush flush with the top of the mechanical pencil.
Now glue the motor to the toothbrush base with the needle a little over the top of the mechanical pencil hole.
Attach the coffee stirrer to the
needle on the motor and use the batteries as the power source. Adjust as needed.This is what I used and got positive feedback on my "scratcher art" from a great tattoo artist.
Have fun.
