Tattoo artists clarify the key questions on how to ensure good design
When getting a tattoo, many questions can arise. This is because fear and anxiety are part of this process, and as the drawing is permanent, it is common to ask questions. That’s why the tattoo artists at Scorpions Tattoo Studio clarify the main questions. Watch!
1. Can all skins be tattooed?
Not. The regions of the mucosa, cartilage and the part between the fingers – while being fashionable – should not be tattooed. Not that it can hurt, but in these places the tattoo it has no duration, the drawing quickly loses definition and the person will be dissatisfied with the work, as it will have to be retouched several times.
2. Is there any need for care before tattooing?
It does not require any prior preparation. It is not recommended to perform the tattoo with very tanned skin, as it will be more difficult to achieve the contrast of the design with its original color, which ends up damaging the result. Furthermore, good hygiene of the place is always indicated before performing the tattoo.
3. What care should be taken after the tattoo?
Tattoo artists say that the most important thing is hygiene until the place is healed. But the more specific indications vary for each studio and each tattoo artist. From Scorpions Tattoo they always recommend washing the area with antibacterial soap and using a healing cream based on
D-Panthenol.
However, they don’t recommend covering it with plastic wrap every day, only when you leave the tattoo studio. After the first bath, it is no longer necessary to close the area, as choking the tattoo creates a more favorable place for the development of bacteria and microorganisms. If the tattoo is on the foot, for example, and you have to wear a shoe in the following days, they advise you to cover the place with plastic film, but don’t leave it on for too long, take it off as soon as you get home.
4. Does the tattoo cover moles and scars?
Before the tattoo, professionals require a report from a dermatologist. In the case of signs, the greatest danger is that they are cancer cells which, once covered, you will no longer be able to follow if they change to prevent possible skin cancers. The scars, in turn, depend on when the surgery was performed, so approval from the dermatologist is also required.
5. What to do to prevent a tattoo from turning green?
The main thing, in this case, is that the tattoo artist uses a good pigment. Most tattoos that turn green are homemade, without a good black pigment.
6. Why do some tattoos appear more?
There are many reasons for this, one of them being the healing of the person. Another factor that can cause the tattoo to bounce is the pressure exerted by the tattoo artist. Sometimes he puts too much strength and hurts the region a lot.
7. How long does a tattoo session last?
Two hours on average. This is because, from that point on, the region starts to get very red and swollen, making it difficult work as a tattoo artist. Also, it is the time when people usually endure the pain and discomfort of the session.
8. Can you sunbathe after getting tattooed?
After getting a tattoo, you need to be careful of sun exposure, as the sun destroys the pigment.
9. Can skin with varicose veins be tattooed?
As this is a medical case, the authorization of the dermatologist is required the tattoo can be made.
10. Does alcohol help numb the pain?
Alcohol does not anesthetize, on the contrary the person ends up feeling more uncomfortable, anxious and moves much more during the session, as well as being even more sensitive to pain. Alcohol makes the person bleed a lot more, making the tattoo artist’s job more difficult.
11. Can I take local anesthesia before getting tattooed?
The tattoo artist is not authorized to apply any type of anesthetic, as it is considered an illegal medical practice. This is because it is unable to perform any of them procedure if the person is allergic to the components of the anesthetic ointment and has anaphylactic shock or any other event that may occur.
