★ Precautions before tattooing ★
1. Tattoos are permanent and difficult to remove. You must think about them carefully before tattooing.
2. Don't listen to the rumors of tattoos of harmful substances such as pigeon blood or cinnabar.
3, in fact, tattoos are also a big event, which should not be underestimated. Because a good tattoo will make you never tire of seeing it, bring you a sense of pleasure, a kind of motivation, a kind of pride and self-confidence, and even play a role in covering up scars; A bad tattoo will make you regret it for the rest of your life, and make you feel rogue and helpless. Therefore, it is suggested that you must choose a reliable tattoo artist before tattooing.
4. Choose your favorite tattoo pattern. If you don't like the pattern, don't force it.
5. Get enough sleep, eat your stomach and be energetic before tattooing.
6. Tattoos won't hurt very much. Don't be afraid, so as not to cause psychological stress and tension. In fact, it is just a feeling of numbness, which is the kind of pain that people can completely accept. Many people say after tattooing, "It's not as painful as I thought, but it hurts and is happy."
★ Precautions after tattoo ★
1. Tear off the plastic wrap 3 hours after tattooing, and use warm water (you can use a little shower gel and soap) to clean the blood and ointment ooe from the tattooed area.
2. After the tattooed part is cleaned, apply the ointment designated by the tattoo artist once a day, apply a thin layer, and stop taking the medicine after scabbing; Don't apply other drugs at will.
Wear loose clothes to breathe and keep dry.
4. Tattoos that haven't healed should avoid being infected by bacteria, and don't dry, steam or soak in the pool in the sauna room. Swimming or prolonged exposure to the sun is not allowed.
5. 3-5 days after tattooing, it is normal to form a thin scab, itch and peel off. Don't scratch it with your hands, let it fall off naturally to avoid fading.
1. Select a graph first. General tattoo shops have many patterns to choose from. You can also find pictures on the internet, magazines and books and bring them to the tattoo artist.
2. Use transfer oil to transfer the selected picture (usually copy the picture first) to the position where the tattoo is needed. (Generally, transfer oil is used, but if the picture is changed or the tattoo artist requests, the tattoo artist will also use strokes. )
3. Apply vaseline to the skin to be tattooed, which plays a lubricating role and prevents the skin from cracking because it is too dry when tattooing.
4. Cut the line with a wire cutting machine (a kind of tattoo machine), that is, go through the whole outline and all the lines of the picture first.
5. Atomize and color with a sprayer (a kind of tattoo machine).
6. After completion, apply vaseline to the tattooed skin for protection.
7. Generally, tattooists will wrap plastic wrap on the skin just tattooed, one is to prevent vaseline from getting on clothes, and the other is to protect the skin just tattooed from external dust and prevent infection. (Some don't wrap plastic wrap, so you can wear clothes and go home after the blood and body fluids oozing from the tattooed skin dry. )
8. Go home to clean the newly tattooed skin within three hours after tattooing. Don't use irritating bath or soap, just wash it gently with ordinary soap, mainly to wash away coagulated blood and body fluids. Rinse with water, dry the water, and apply vaseline or erythromycin ointment after drying.
9. You can take a bath in about a week, but don't take a bath or swim. After taking a shower, you should still apply vaseline or erythromycin ointment (the advantage of applying vaseline or erythromycin ointment is that the skin in the tattoo area will not be too dry and will not form a thick scab).
10. During the recovery process, the tattoo will itch and peel off, which are normal phenomena, but never scratch it 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).
The tattooing tool used in regular tattoo shops is tattoo machine instead of eyebrow tattooing machine. Some non-professional tattoo salons also have tattoo projects, but most of them use eyebrow tattooing machines (pen-shaped).
Personally, I think the most painful step in tattooing is to cut the thread. After cutting the thread, coloring and fogging, it will be less painful. Maybe I'm used to pain. Moreover, because three stitches are generally used for thread cutting, which is relatively thin, while seven stitches and thirteen stitches are used for coloring and fogging, which are relatively thick, it hurts when cutting thread.
Generally speaking, if it is not a picture with a large tattoo, it can be completed at one time (but if there is something unsatisfactory, it can be revised and supplemented after the tattoo is restored). If it is a big picture (such as the whole back and legs, etc.). ), it needs to be completed many times.
You must choose a professional tattoo shop for tattoos. Generally, the price of tattoos in professional tattoo shops is not very low. After all, it's worth it. Some say that the price given by the beauty salon with tattoo project is really cheap, but the quality is far from good. Instead of going to a professional tattoo shop after getting a tattoo in a beauty salon, it is better to choose a trusted professional tattoo artist from the beginning.
