Have you noticed it lately? Tattoo lovers are getting younger and younger. Could this mean that the world is going back in time wherein a tattoo is a symbol of rebellion and deviance? Well, to some it's a form of intricate art work, while others would attest that is an ultimate expression of one's personality. Others may consider it a form of rebellion or a wild act. Each tattoo design has its own story to tell and indefinitely worth thousands of words. The person's skin is a blank canvas that's waiting for the tattoo designers hand to be pricked and to be painted for them to become alive and beautiful.

And each tattoo is the master piece of the tattoo designers. Tattoos of all shapes and size, designs from dragons to butterflies...from crosses to chains...from snakes to spiritual things are seen on people of all ages.

A word of caution though, one must be aware that there are certain medical conditions associated with body piercing. Many serious medical complications are often the results of unsanitary facilities or studios that can cause serious skin diseases and even death. People most be aware of the risk involves in this type of fashions. These can cause viral infections such as hepatitis, HIV, bacterial and fungal infections, allergic reactions such as skin irritation, and malignant lesions such as melanoma, leprosy, and other devastating diseases. Other health hazard one can get associated with body art include toxic shock syndrome, tetanus, venereal ulcers, tuberculosis, and a host of other skin diseases. Health standards with regards to methods of sterilization, disinfecting, cleanliness, and waste removal must be abided by the tattoo designers. Strict adherence to proper skin care must be followed especially on your new tattoo site to avoid infections and complications.

In choosing a particular tattoo parlor one must consider a lot of things. If the one you choice don't live up to your expectations RUN, take your money and search all over again.

* First impression is vital. When you start searching for a tattoo parlor pay close attention to your intuition or first impression of the place. Don't overlook them.

* Play close attention to the tattoo designs on display. Tattoos "flash" are those posters covering the walls of the tattoo studio are copyright artwork, and should be purchased from a professional artist. If the flash you are looking at appears washed-out, and you can't see any identifying marks, it's fake. If the tattoo parlor your visiting are willing to cheat legitimate artist out of their royalties that they should be getting from their tattoo designs, do you think you'll received the services that you are paying for like new needles, fresh high quality ink, clean gloves, and artists who are willing to give all the time necessary to make sure your tattoo looks beautiful?

* The best tattoo parlors have their facilities done in natural light so that you could see how your tattoo looks like permanently.

* Learn how long they have been in their present address and are they willing to give names of their satisfied customer?

* Do they have a portfolio with pictures of their healed tattoos to show? Do the artists have the knowledge to avoid scarring, or do they have an idea on what to do if they see plasma leaking during the tattooing process?

* The best tattoo parlor should dispose any sharp object in the manner as what the hospital do and any other materials which have come into contact with blood in biohazard containers.

If all of the above guidelines cannot be answered by the tattoo parlor employees especially on the safety practices, better get out fast and look for somewhere else.

The Art of Tattoos | Beautiful Self Expression

noreply@blogger.com (ayang) — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 01:56:00 -0800

Tattooing has long been practiced since the old times around the world for decorative, ornamental, spiritual, identification, cosmetics, and even medical purposes and uses. In spite of some issues and taboos regarding this practice, tattooing continues to gain popularity all over the world; so does the concern regarding the potential risks involved with tattooing.

What is a Tattoo?

A tattoo is a mark created by inserting indelible or permanent ink into the dermis layer of the skin changing the pigment for decorative and other purposes. For humans, tattooing is done as a kind of decorative body alteration while it is primarily used for branding or identification for animals.

What are the Possible Risks of Having Tattoos?

Permanent tattooing is done with the use of needles to insert colored ink below the surface of the skin. The method will breach the skin, making it susceptible to skin infections and possible complications.

* Skin Infections. Dirty and unsterilized tattooing equipment may be the source of contamination leading to bacterial infections and inflammation. These infections are characterized by swelling, redness, soreness, pain and a pus-like drainage.
* Allergic Reactions. Tattoo dyes and ink pigments in both temporary and permanent tattoos have been accounted as the cause of allergic skin reactions. In some cases, allergic reactions occur even years after having a tattoo.
* Blood-borne Diseases. When the needles and tattooing equipment used to make your tattoo has been contaminated with infected blood, for sure you'll catch a variety of blood-borne diseases - HIV, hepatitis, tetanus and the AIDS causing virus.
* MRI complications. During the conduct of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exams, in rare cases, tattoos may cause burning or swelling in affected parts.
* Granulomas. These are bumps or small knot formed around the tattoo ink that the body identifies as foreign.
* Scarring and Keloids. The removal of tattoos may cause unwanted scar tissue to form and may lead to overgrowth of scar tissue (keloids).

Tattoos may just sound an ordinary thing, but don't take it without due consideration. Be oriented with the risks associated with having tattoos and understand its basic safety precautions. So think twice before you ink!

Top 5 Fears About Your New Tattoo

noreply@blogger.com (ayang) — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 01:45:00 -0800

#1. Will it hurt? Yes, a little. It has never hurt anyone bad enough to stop the tattoo. Tattoos are made by the creation of small holes into the top-most area of the skin. When the needle separates the skin to make these holes it feels like a warm to hot pressure against the skin. Not enough pain to stop but mildly uncomfortable. It will hurt less with simple relaxation and regular breathing. Everyone will respond differently to a tattoo and will experience a different level of discomfort.

#2. Will I bleed? Yes. In some types of tattooing, a needle tip's shape will cause smaller holes or larger holes, allowing for the ink to enter the skin. A smaller needle tip will not allow for much blood to pass through the skin but larger needle tips will allow a very small amount of blood to pass through it. Your skin will also push natural saline (salt water) through these small holes which may make the trace amounts of blood appear to be larger than they are. On a medium size tattoo(about the size of a business card) the amount of blood is less than o.o1ml, barely calculable.

#3. Will the tattoo fade away? No, Tattoos are permanent. A tattoo done with proper technique, will last your lifetime. However the application techniques is only part of the process. A client must be prepared to care for their tattoo, keep the skin cleaned, away from ultra-violet light (the sun, tanning beds) and exfoliate the dry skin away to have the best results.

#4. Will I faint? No. Some clients have fainted but is very uncommon. If you have eaten a light meal before the tattoo, you will be fine. A trained artist can identify the warning signs for this and in some cases can stop the tattoo to allow the client to have a soda and some candy to increase your blood sugar.

#5. Can I catch something? No. Tattoo suffers an unfounded stigma of association to transmission of blood-born diseases. Health Canada can not prove a link between modern tattooing and these conditions so they chose to include non-related studies from 3rd world countries in order to create a fictitious link. In the U.S., studies have found no links and even The Center for Disease Control, C.D.C., has concluded that even though it is possible, it has never happened. Out of all cases of Hep-A,B,C transmission reported in 37 years (1966-2003), 1,690,458, and HIV/AIDS transmission reported in 25 years (1982-2007), 1,147,697, only 4 were attributed to tattoos. Those cases were investigated and found to be false reports.

Things to know. Tattooing has been safe for studios choosing to use modern techniques. These techniques have advanced with time but even at a time when they were less advanced the techniques were enough to keep a client and artist safe. Tattooing should only be done on a clean, healthy and sober individual.
