First, the choice of tattoo shop

If you want a tattoo, you must go to a regular professional tattoo shop, and never go to a beauty salon that manages the tattoo business. Although the price is very cheap, it is difficult to guarantee the hygiene and quality, and the pictures drawn by non-professional tattoo artists are also very rough, which is really flattering. General professional tattoo shops can ensure hygiene and safety. The needle used for tattoo is disposable, so it will not be infected with blood diseases, and the pigment used for tattoo will not cause any harm to the skin and body (the tattoo pigments used in regular tattoo shops are all imported pigments from plants). The patterns printed by professional tattoo artists are very fine, so the price may not be low, but after all, a penny is worth a penny. After tattooing, take care of the tattoo according to the requirements of the tattoo artist. Generally, there will be no problem, so don't worry.

Second, the choice of tattoo patterns

The price of each tattoo shop is different, some are calculated according to square centimeters, and some are determined according to the size and complexity of the pattern. Because the price of tattoos is not uniform at present, it's best to go to a tattoo shop to choose pictures first, or find some favorite pictures in magazines, books and online for tattoo artists to see, so as to know the more specific price. However, tattooing is a lifetime, so you must be careful when choosing pictures, so as not to regret it after tattooing.

Third, suggestions for special physique.

If it is a scar constitution, tattoos are not recommended. It is difficult to recover after tattooing, and it is also difficult to guarantee whether the tattoo effect can be satisfied.

Fourth, tattoo season

Tattoos in any season are no problem, except that tattoos in summer are a little uncomfortable than tattoos in other seasons, because the skin is still in a damaged state when it is just finished, and it will hurt a little when it is hot and sweaty, so tattoos in spring, autumn and winter are better than those in summer, but tattoos in summer are no problem. Although the speed of tattoo recovery is related to the season, it mainly depends on the recovery ability of your own skin. Some people have poor skin recovery ability (I am), and it may take half a month to fully recover after tattooing. People with good skin may fully recover in less than a week.

Five, pay attention to the hygiene of the wound

Be sure to take a bath after tattooing, every day, but don't rub the skin of the tattooed part hard when washing, because bathing is to clean the body fluid and residual ointment of ooed, but be careful not to use irritating shower gel, soap and the like, just wash it gently with mild soap, and the bathing time should not be too long. You can take a bath, but it is not suitable for bathing or swimming. After taking a bath, apply erythromycin ointment to the tattoo area (the advantage of applying erythromycin ointment is that the skin on the tattoo area will not be too dry and will not form a thick scab). Before the tattoo is completely recovered, apply erythromycin ointment to the tattooed skin three or four times a day, and let the ointment stay for about 20 to 30 minutes before wiping it off, which not only plays a role in preventing skin inflammation, but also makes the ointment difficult to get on clothes, making the skin breathable and not so greasy. Please don't stop washing just because someone says you can't take a shower for a few days after tattooing. I'm talking about personal experience. If you don't wash or apply erythromycin ointment, you will only get a thick scab, and your recovery will be slow and uncomfortable. )

It is normal that the tattoo will itch, peel off and form a thin scab during the recovery process, but don't scratch the tattoo with your hands, otherwise it will affect the color of the tattoo. If the skin recovers, it usually takes about a week. In the future, we should consciously protect the tattoo area (skin injury in the tattoo area will affect the color, and if it is serious, it needs to be repaired). And try not to drink alcohol, eat seafood and spicy food before the tattoo is fully recovered, because these will cause redness, itching and even allergic symptoms in the tattoo area, which will easily have adverse consequences on the tattoo.

Other matters:

First, the perfect tattoo pattern and the correct methods and skills of professional tattoo artists are the guarantee of perfect tattoos.

Second, tattooers must be at least 18 years old.

Third, don't use tattoos such as animal blood or cinnabar (it is said that such tattoos will only appear after drinking). This method is extremely dangerous.

4. Don't treat the tattoo wound with alcohol or purple liquid (alcohol will irritate the wound and purple liquid will destroy the color of the tattoo).

5. The tattooing method is incorrect and the disinfection is not strict, which is easy to cause infection or infectious diseases.

Six, don't use soap or bath to clean the wound, (warm water).

Seven, after the tattoo is completed, apply professional tattoo ointment, rinse the ointment and blood with warm water after 3 hours, dry it with absorbent cotton or professional paper towels, and then don't apply any medicine.

8. Itching, scabbing and peeling are normal phenomena after a few days of tattooing. Don't scratch the wound to avoid infection or discoloration. Underwear should be soft, not too tight.

Please don't eat spicy food before the wound heals.

Don't swim or take a sauna after tattooing.

1 1. Please don't get tattoos during illness.

12. In case of ulceration, suppuration, running water, delayed wound healing or fever, please consult a tattoo artist or go to the hospital in time.

Matters needing attention after tattooing

1. After tattooing for two hours, remove the plastic wrap, rinse the ointment and blood on the tattooed part with warm water (you can use a little shower gel or soap), and then gently wipe it clean.

2. After cleaning the tattooed area, please don't apply any medicine given by a non-tattoo artist at will, so as not to cause fading and damage the overall appearance.

3. When the tattoo has not healed, in order to avoid bacterial infection, don't go to the swimming pool to warm up, take a bath, and don't expose yourself to the sun for a long time.

4. After three to five days, the tattooed part will itch or peel off, which is a normal reaction. Never scratch, so as not to destroy the integrity and beauty of the tattoo.
