Watch How a Tattoo Gun Is Made in PrisonTattoo Gun

Tattoo Gun

In a Facebook post doing rounds on Digg, the prison inmates urn a pen, a Walkman, a couple of paper clips, a few rubber bands, and a set of batteries into a fully functional tattoo gun. The motor, battery pack, and switch come from a Walkman which is torn down.

The ink for the tattoo comes from the pen, the needle is made from the paper clip, and the rubber bands hold it all together. The prison where this Tattoo Gun hack was done is not known but you can appreciate the ingenious inmates for getting things done with limited resources.
