Tattoos are created by putting coloured pigment in between the permanent base layer of your skin and the constantly changing top layer. The pigment becomes bonded to the skin cells and is visible through the translucent outer layer of your skin. So applying a tattoo properly takes much more than the ability to draw pretty pictures. A professional tattooist is an artist, a technician and a craftsman.If the ink is put too deep in your skin, your body fluids will cause it to spread and loose definition. If the ink is not put in the skin deep enough the tattoo will fade or actually disappear in just a few months. • You should get tattooed in a studio that is as clean as your doctor or dentist surgery. • Everything that is used for your tattoo should be disposable or sterile. Having chosen a tattooist who works clean, you should want to see examples of his work. You should try to see examples of his work in the flesh. Ask around your tattooed friends, look at the work they have, ask about the studio they visited and the experience they had. Look at their tattoo carefully. |
