Second, we should know the quality of tattoo pigments. At present, tattoos generally do not use dyes and inks for tattoos, but liquid plant pigments soaked in alcohol. Because plant pigments are extracted from natural plants, they are less susceptible to infection when they penetrate into the skin.
Third, we should pay attention to our own protection. Use adrenaline to clean and stop bleeding when tattooing. After the tattoo is completed, it needs to be scrubbed with warm water, and the tattoo should be kept dry (usually lasting for one week), otherwise it will cause infection and lead to skin rot.
Fourth, don't tattoo with animal blood or cinnabar. Pigeon blood cinnabar tattoo is extremely dangerous.
Fifth, don't use alcohol or purple potion to treat stab wounds (alcohol will irritate wounds, and purple potion will destroy the color of tattoos).
Sixth, after the tattoo is completed, you need to apply professional tattoo ointment or medical vaseline. After 2-3 hours, rinse the ointment and blood with warm water and dry it with absorbent cotton or professional paper towels. Then don't apply any medicine.
Seventh, itching, scabbing and peeling are normal phenomena after a few days of tattoo completion. Don't scratch the wound to avoid infection or discoloration. Underwear should be soft, not too tight.
Eighth, no swimming or sauna for the time being after tattoo.
Ninth, if there is ulceration, suppuration, running water, delayed wound healing or fever, please consult a tattoo artist or go to the hospital for examination in time.
The chemical pigments used for tattoos are easy to cause irritating allergic dermatitis, itching and abrasion. If the pigment stays on the skin for a long time, it will cause skin dysfunction, and in severe cases, edema and ulceration will occur.
Some tattoo lovers even allow so-called "tattoo artists" to tattoo themselves with eyebrow tattooing machines and non-tattoo-specific pigments because of their lack of tattoo expertise! As we all know, because the motor torque and speed of the eyebrow tattoo machine are too insufficient, the effect of tattoo is often not to enhance beauty but to add ugliness; Moreover, skin lesions may be caused by reasons such as not mastering the depth. But the patterns printed by non-tattoo pigments are far more gorgeous than those printed by special pigments.
The health threats caused by tattoos include allergic reactions to raw materials. Tattoos can lead to viral infections such as hepatitis B. The methods to remove tattoos include skin scraping, skin transplantation (plastic surgery) and laser surgery.
Precautions after tattoo Precautions:
1. Tear off the plastic wrap or gauze 5-7 hours after tattooing, rinse the tattooed wound with warm water, and forbid soap and bathing.
Second, it is normal for the wound to have bloody exudation 1-2 days after tattoo. Don't apply trauma ointment at will, and don't touch the wound with your hands.
Third, ensure that the wound is clean and dry. Dry the wound surface with a dry paper towel after taking a bath or after a lot of exercise.
Fourth, the wound should not be treated with alcohol or iodine to prevent infection, and an appropriate amount of trauma anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally.
5. Don't drink alcohol and spicy food before the wound heals, and don't swim in the sauna (only rinse with warm water).
Six, a few days after the tattoo is completed, itching, scabbing, peeling, do not scratch the wound, so as not to change color, wear loose and comfortable clothes.
Seven, pay attention to the hygiene of the wound. Be sure to take a shower after tattooing. Wash it every day, but don't rub the skin of the tattooed area hard when washing, because bathing is to wash out ooed body fluids and residual ointment, but be careful not to use irritating bath liquid, soap and the like. In addition, the bath time should not be too long. You can take a bath, but you shouldn't take a bath or swim. Please don't stop taking a shower 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 take a bath, you will only get a thick scab, and your recovery will be slow and uncomfortable. It is normal that the tattoo area will itch, peel off and form a thin scab during tattoo recovery, but don't scratch the tattoo area with your hands, otherwise it will affect the color of the tattoo. If the skin recovers well, it will generally heal in about 10 days. In the future, we should consciously protect the tattooed area (if the skin of the tattooed area is injured, it will affect the color and need to be repaired seriously). 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.
