Der Tattoo Thread.
Zingoleb:
The only person I know who did their own tattoo is, interestingly enough, my father. According to him, he wrapped thread around a needle, soaked it in blue dye, and kept jabbing himself until the design was complete. It was rather simple, so it actually doesn't look that bad (he did a peace sign on his arm - used a half dollar do the initial circle), but I still couldn't ever imagine doing that to myself.
Carl-E:
There were probably substances other than just blue dye involved...
But yeah, I can't imagine self-tattooing is a common occurrence.
Oh, wait, the internet says I'm wrong...

It's the easiest and least dangerous to other people way to start learning before you get a apprenticeship! Or if you are a professional already, as long as you can reach your parts properly, it's probably gonna turn out fine. Also some personal reasons for it I assume.

Obviously there are good tattoos and bad tattoos in terms of the quality of the work but acting like it's ok to harangue people based on decisions they've made about their own bodies seems counter-productive to me.

Also this. This right here so very much.
Akima:
Yeah... I posted that XKCD comic back in August when I was pissed-off about a tattoo-related thing. After I'd actually thought about it, I was ashamed of myself, but I left it up in case someone wanted to have a go at me over it, and then I forgot. Sorry.
