It seems that one of the newest ways to get the true prison tattoo experience is with nothing but the best in tattoo guns.  No longer are prison tattoo artist using guitar string or other such crude devices.  They have now developed an advanced way to make a real tattoo gun.  Using a Nintiendo 64 Rumble Pack prisoners can make their own home made tattoo gun from a rumble pack, pen, and a needle.  Pretty Amazing tweak for the RumblePak and I am sure nothing Nintendo ever thought of themselves.

Here is a more complete explanation from  a prision guard

“It is actually pretty easy. There are no workshops in maximum security. They do it in their rooms with a battery(power) taped to a tube(could be a pen or a tightly wound piece of paper). The motor from the rumble pack is taken out and attached to the top of the tube. A needle or pin is run down the middle of the tube. when “on” the needle will move up and down like a sewing machine. The needle is then dipped in “ink.” This is made a number of ways the easiest is to use ball point pen ink, but they could use other items to get different colors or looks.”
