I'd ask a tattoo artist, go into a shop

Use colored ink, they sell it online. Use your computer.

I just had to say that its very dangerous to go at it alone. i would strongly advise against it. good luck.

You use colored ink. Sounds like a good question to ask whatever artist you're apprenticing under. After all, you have to apprentice to become a reputable tattoo artist, so you must be apprenticing, right? Name some 'incredible artists' who were entirely self taught. I don't mean artists who at one point tattooed on their own and then apprenticed later before becoming a professional. I mean ones that never worked under anyone ever.

You don't say whether you are color blending, packing color, or using color to shade. My best advice is, if you are using magnum needle groups, use them like a brush. If you are using large liner or shader groups, use them in small concentric circles. Be careful, and take your time. Tune your machine to about a nickles width on the stroke.

When you run out of places to tattoo on yourself and close friends, I have known tattoo artists to practice on fruit such as grapefruits, oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits. That's my tip.
