The Low Risk Method For Getting A Tattoo
Many see tattoos as a work of art, others view them as disfigurement. If, like me, you are in the first group, you will know that a tattoo is only not only a statement, it can also be to symbolize an important event in your life.
Unfortunately, things can go wrong with tattoos, and taking measures to ensure your safety is of the utmost importance. Here are a few hints to follow when you decide to get one.
Although quite rare, some people are allergic to the inks that are used to create the tattoo. The first indication of this is a terrible itch and reddening in the area of the tattoo.
Infections and irritations can occur after getting a tattoo, and these can be serious. If the needles haven't been sterilized, diseases are passed from one person to another very easily.
If you think these tips are a waste of time, consider this. Are you really prepared to take the risk of contracting hepatitis, HIV or tetanus by just running off to some dirty tattoo parlor? No, I didn't think so.
A new set of disposable gloves should be used for each client, and their licenses should be on display. The parlor should be spotlessly clean and have a good reputation.
A good tattoo artist will use new, sterile needles for each customer, straight out of the packet. The other tools should also be sterilized and used needles disposed of immediately after use.
Once you've had your tattoo, there are things you should do yourself to reduce the risks. Keep it covered for the first day, and make sure it is kept clean. Use clean water and soap along with an antibiotic lotion to greatly reduce the risk of infection.
Wear clothing that is baggy and comfortable, keep out of the sun and keep the skin around your tattoo moisturized. It normally takes approximately 2 weeks for the healing process to complete. If you suspect any kind of infection, your doctor is the person to see.
So common sense combined with these tips should get you through the whole process of getting a tattoo with no problems at all.
