Tattooing - who, what and how?

A tattoo is expensive, painful and permanent. Removing tattoos is more expensive, more painful, and sometimes impossible. For these reasons, inform yourself pretty good about tattooing, and before you decide to visit a tattoo studio, consider the following.

1. CONSIDER GOOD WHICH PART OF THE BODY TO TATTOO

If you don't want your tattoo to have an impact on your life and career (because there are still many people with prejudices, fact) don't tattoo body parts that can not be camouflaged with clothes, such as the hands, neck or face. The part of the body you choose should fit the image that you want on your skin, but should be suitable for covering with clothing (when this you need it).

2. DECISION WHAT TO TATTOO

Tattoos with Chinese, Japanese and Arabic characters are popular, but if you do not understand their meaning, you should not tattoo them, because you are not aware that one letter can have different meanings depending on the context.

3. BE WELL INFORMED WHERE TO PERFORM THE TATTOO

If you don't want to fall into the hands of an amateur who will exercise on you, an artist who is not so talented or with someone whose hygiene is not exactly a strong side with whom you can "attach" an infection, it is best to know someone who has already made ​​his tattoo there.

4. COLLABORATE WITH THE TATTOO ARTIST 

Most of the tattoo artists insist on conversation with the customer prior to tattooing. Do not tighten and just ask anything you would like, but be prepared to accept his suggestions about the colors, shadows, or the size of the tattoo. The more you work with the artist, so your tattoo will be prettier.

5. HYGIENE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

Before the artist starts tattooing, you should insist to show you the sterilized equipment. This is the only way to make sure that you will not get a disease with the tattoo.

6. IT'S GOING TO HURT
If someone told you that tattooing does not hurt - he lied. Okay, the intensity of the pain depends on the size, of the place and the complexity of the tattoo. Those tattoos that are made over the bones and tendons (neck, back and leg ankle), sections with relatively little "meat" (legs, arms, wrists) and places with lots of nerve endings (warts, fingers, face) most hurt.

7. DO NOT TOUCH WHILE IT IS FRESH
The tattoo is a wound like any other. First off, let it dry, and then cover it to protect. No matter how hurts and itch and do not put anything on it, except fat, which for this purpose you have received from your tattoo artist. And most important - do not hands off. You will have it for a lifetime, so be careful not to ruin it.

MEDICAL ASPECTS

Tattooing is a way to decorate the body, but this way of decorating carries many risks. Tattoo means cutting the skin and injection of color in the mesoderm of the skin to make the desired picture.
Infectious diseases, skin problems, allergies, hepatitis, these are just some of the problems that you can have if you have a tattoo.
To reduce the risk of transmission of pathogenic bacteria, the artist who is tattooing must always use sterilized equipment, surgical gloves and masks, new needles, and unused bottles with paint for each new tattoo - none of these things should not be used again and to be shared  on several users.

People with more body tattoos have a higher risk of infection with hepatitis C, and other blood borne pathogens.

Other risks are Hepatitis C, fungal and bacterial infections. Risk also represent the chemicals in the tattoo ink, especially the use of tattoo ink that is not intended. Pigments in the ink used for printing and painting cars. Some of these substances can seriously harm the body, especially the kidneys, lungs and lymph nodes. Allergic reactions may occur several years after the placement of the tattoo.

So, before starting a tattoo, think twice if you really want a tattoo, and especially consider where you will put on your body. If you have decided to have a tattoo, then be careful when tattooing - a man who tattooed you must wear new surgical gloves, mask, and insist needles that will be used to be extracted in front of you, and to properly sterilize all equipment, and the skin where  the tattoo will be drawn to be erased with medical alcohol.
