- WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING A TATTOO -
1. Let’s start with a small tattoo
If it's the first time you get a tattoo, consider choosing a small-size tattoo to experience the feeling of tattooing and to test the irritation of the tattoo ink on the body. The larger the tattoo, the more intricate the details, the more effect it has on the skin.
Chances are your body, and your skin will be irritated, swollen, and even infected. At that time, the larger the tattoo and the more detailed it is, the more harmful it is and loses its aesthetic value. So choosing simple small tattoos instead of large tattoos in the first tattoo will be a good choice.
2. Prepare yourself mentally for pain, know how much pain you can bear
You should also carefully choose the tattoo location, places such as knees, elbows, and neck... will be very painful and take a long time to heal because those are positions that are often moved and moved.
3. Choose a reputable tattoo establishment
Since tattoos are considered part of the body, choose reputable establishments, famous tattooists, and reliable ones. Do not be greedy for cheap and choose establishments or floating tattooists, not reputable. Tattoos are considered a part of the body, so proper investment in the right place is essential.
4. Choose tattoo time
Vigorous exercise or the effects of sunlight, dust, and water can adversely affect tattoos. Therefore, you should choose the time to get a tattoo and make sure that the time after tattooing you have little outdoor activities. Many people think spring and autumn are the best times to get a tattoo.
5. Your health and safety must still come first
During the tattooing process, if you feel tired or have any health problems, immediately notify the tattooist to stop and rest. Then move on, don't be too hasty.
Your health and safety remain a top priority. You have to make sure you get your tattoo done in the safest possible conditions.
6. Your tattoo should be done under safe sterile conditions
Your health and safety remain most important. You have to make sure you get your tattoo done in the safest, most sterile conditions possible.
* You should ask the tattoo specialist to change the needle and tip of the nose in front of you. In some places, before tattooing, customers are also given an injection of anti-infection medication.
* Tattoo experts recommend that you use latex gloves to sterilize the tattoo.
* Please pay attention to the jars, jars containing tattoo ink. You should ask for a new tattoo ink bottle, which should only be used once to minimize the risk of infection.
* If you feel that the sanitary conditions are not good, you should suggest and stop tattooing immediately.
7. Shouldn't be sedated to tattoo
According to doctors and long-time tattoo art experts, anesthetic injections should not be used to relieve pain because anesthetics affect the colour of the ink.
In addition, injectable anesthetics, if used at the wrong dose, can adversely affect health, especially those with diseases related to heart disease, blood pressure, liver, and kidneys.
8. Do not use alcohol, stimulants or fast before tattooing
Before getting a tattoo, you should eat something, do not fast to avoid a drop in blood pressure, because the tattooing process can last for many hours.
Do not use beer, alcohol or stimulants.
Stimulants cause your body to increase sweat, mucus and plasma, making you more susceptible to pain. The skin will not consume the ink and create blurry, ugly and easy-to-fade tattoos.
9. Discuss your ideas and desires with the tattooist
Speak clearly with the tattooist about what you want to get. Actively discuss with the tattooist before proceeding with the tattoo. They are experts and experienced so they will give you the most useful advice on what you want and what works best for you.
10. Believe and think positively about tattoo
If you've decided to get a tattoo, you have to trust it, don't hesitate. Take it seriously, like you want to show off your personality, a piece of jewelry, and a work of art on your body. That will make you feel comfortable when going to a tattoo.
11. Music is an effective pain reliever when tattooing
Music is an effective pain reliever. Choose to listen to your favourite music. The music will engage your mind and you will no longer notice the pain of getting a tattoo.
12. Stop tattooing to rest if you feel tired
During the tattooing process, if you feel tired or have any health problems. Please notify the tattooist immediately to stop and rest. Then move on, don't be too hasty.
13. Consider getting a tattoo as a serious decision.
When going for a tattoo, you have to consider it a serious decision, really want to complete the work of art you have chosen, do not choose indiscriminately just for a temporary liking because the tattoo will follow you permanently.
