What is up! Nick here😉

Let's discuss the tattoo myths :)

The most common myth associated with a tattoo. Any tattoo is "an artificial violation of the integrity of the skin and the subsequent introduction into the skin of colorants, in order to obtain persistent images." Temporary tattoos do not exist, skin under the skin can not be washed off or resorbed. The proposed "temporary tattoos" in beauty parlors, in fact, usually turns out not to be a tattoo, but a translation, body painting (painting with paints) or a henna pattern that is applied to the surface of the skin. These methods do not imply the introduction of pigments under the skin - the needles are not used in these cases. All the others who offer "temporary tattoos" - lovers quickly cut down money.

The very aesthetics of tattoo art implies the presence of pain - for the adornment of the body you have to pay not only in a literal sense, but also with your sensations. Although you can fight the pain, there are anesthetic injections or special patches. But under anesthesia, the skin becomes unguarded, and it is much more difficult to apply paint, work is delayed. Therefore, pros do not use anesthesia from the principle.

Until now, you can hear that tattoos - the prerogative of thieves and "criminals" - are made exclusively on the zone. Anyone who clogs up in the wild violates the law of prison ethics and can be subjected to execution on the part of ex-convicts, accidentally met in a bathhouse or on the beach.
Of course, you should not stuff eight-pointed thieves on your shoulders and knees. If you come with such an order to a normal master, he will spend with you a small educational program and try to persuade you to something less binding. Some "thieves in law" generally avoid tattoos - this, type, pale and all that. In addition, on the zone there was such a thing as a "free tattoo", which means no complaints about the person who was tattooed at will. And about the "bulls" - if they need to get to you, they'll find out in any case.

With age, or with a change in weight, the lines of the pattern cease to be clear, and the picture itself becomes blurred and deformed.
This myth arose from the fact that people most often judge the bodies of people tattooed by handicraft and poor-quality paints. In fact, the tattoo industry is developing very quickly, so the clarity of the lines made by a professional will not suffer at all. Regarding the shape of the picture ... If you stopped monitoring your appearance and health, then you will not care about the state of tattoos, otherwise, you will be happy to old age to those around you.

The truth is only partly. The safety of a tattoo depends on several things. First, from the type of skin: each person has his own special pigmentation, and no master will give guarantees that in a few years the black color will not turn into dark gray. It is possible to significantly reduce fading if you use high-quality paints: Starbrite, Intenze, Kuro Sumi, etc. Secondly, you too much depends on you: the tattoo needs to be properly healed and used with sunblock (cream filters that produce different cosmetic Firm).

After visiting the tattoo parlor for almost two weeks you can not wash yourself - the water that has fallen into the unhealed wound will wash out the paint from it, and the picture will turn out to be spotted and dull.
Many masters recommend this method to customers, but there are options. For example: during a week to wash a fresh tattoo with an antiseptic solution, and the first couple of days take a quick (2-3 min.) Cool shower - so that a jet of water rinses the formed lymph, not allowing it to dry out. This eliminates the formation of a crust or scab that prevents access to oxygen, resulting in much faster healing.

Tattooing during healing can be lubricated with a thick layer of jelly, shaving creams and greasy ointments, in short, everything that comes to hand.
The master is obliged to tell what preparation and how to heal the tattoo! A thick layer of cream prevents the penetration of oxygen to the damaged tissues. Still there is an opinion that as an antiseptic alcohol is quite good. Master pros, at least twirl your finger at the temple, because in this case, alcohol will cause only a chemical burn.

Tattoos can not be withdrawn. If you get tired of drawing on your skin - you will never get rid of them.
Clearing the skin is completely unreal. Traces of excretion on closer inspection can be found, because, instead of the pigment paint, there are scars and keloid scars. If the question is of principle, there are two ways. The first is to score it with another drawing. Any tattoo artist has enough imagination to transform a hateful picture into a masterpiece. The second option is to resort to the help of high-tech technologies, which are constantly developing. This, however, takes a lot of time and money, but the results are all satisfied ...
