The Story Behind The Tattoo And All You Need To Know by Kokination: 11:40pm On Mar 27 |
Fact about Tattoos On fact about tattoos, Tattoos might be more common than ever, but you should understand the basic safety precautions and aftercare of your tattoo. From the Tahitian “tatau” which means to mark or strike, the word tattoo refers to some of the traditional modes of application where ink is “tapped” into the skin by using sharp sticks or bone. Certain peoples in the Arctic used a needle to pull carbon-embedded thread under the skin which creates linear designs. Other persons have however, cut designs into the skin and then rubbed the incisions with ink or ashes. Equally important is the fact that tattoos are also permanent marks or designs made on the body by the introduction of pigment through ruptures in the skin. Again, the term is also loosely applied to the inducement of scars (cicatrization). Tattooing proper has been practiced in most parts of the world, though it is rare among populations with the darkest skin colour and absent from most of China. Tattooed designs are thought by various peoples to provide magical protection against sickness or misfortune, or they serve to identify the wearer’s rank, status, or membership in a group. Decoration is perhaps the most common motive for tattooing. HOW ARE COLORS MADE? A pigment’s molecules are actually colorless. Again, the colors are produced when light refracts off molecules arranged into crystals in various ways. Metal salts make up pigments that are used in tattos. They are metals that have reacted with oxygen; this process is called oxidation and is exemplified by rusting iron. The pigment is held in a carrier solution to disinfect the pigments by inhibiting the growth of pathogens, to keep it evenly mixed and to facilitate its application. Most modern pigments are carried by alcohols, specifically methyl or ethyl alcohols, which are the simplest and most commonly used types. A tattoo is a permanent kind of body art. A design is made by puncturing the skin with needles and injecting tattoo ink into the deep layer of the skin. Tattoos used to be done manually — that is, the tattoo artist would puncture the skin with a needle and inject the ink by hand. Though this process is still used in some parts of the world, professional tattoo artists use tattoo machines. A tattoo machine powers the needles up and down as ink is deposited in the skin. How do I get a tattoo? If you want to get a tattoo, you should understand that tattoos are permanent. Tattoos are difficult to remove, expensive to remove and may not be completely removed. Again, before you get a tattoo, you should make sure you have had all your immunizations (especially hepatitis B and tetanus shots). Besides, if you have a medical problem such as heart disease, allergies, diabetes, skin problems like eczema or psoriasis, a weak immune system, or a bleeding problem, talk to your doctor before getting a tattoo. Equally, if you get keloids (an overgrowth of scar tissue) you probably should not get a tattoo. Most times, having a tatoo may hurt your chances of getting a job or advancing your career. If you get a tattoo, career coaches recommend you get one that’s easy to cover with work clothes. What Else Should I Know before I Get Tattoos on fact about tattoos? You should protect yourself against infection if you decide to get a tattoo. You should make sure the tattoo studio is clean and safe, and that all equipment used is disposable (needles, ink, gloves) and sterilized (everything else). Ask the tattoo studio if they use single-use needles and sterilize all equipment using an autoclave (a device that uses steam, pressure, and heat for sterilization). You should see needles and other equipment removed from sealed, sterile containers. Ask if the studio uses one-time ink cartridges that are disposed of after each customer. Ask if the tattoo artist a licensed practitioner. They should be able to provide you with references. Does the tattoo studio follow universal precautions? These procedures help in dealing with blood and other body fluids to help prevent the spread of HIV, hepatitis B, and other serious blood infections. If the studio looks unclean, if anything looks out of the ordinary, or if you feel in any way uncomfortable, find a better place to get your tattoo.
