just use like a 330 ohm resistor in series on the ground wire and if the led still smokes increase resistance.

My guess is that you need a series resistor before the LED.

Is your tattoo gun AC or DC? Most LEDs don't appreciate a reverse bias that you would get with an AC signal.

Your circuit is an extremely simple electric one, it does not use electronics.
Which part of it smokes? Then it is obviously overloaded.
Please post its schematic with part numbers.
