Be Well Prepared Before You Get Your Tattoo

1. Be Well Prepared Before You Get Your Tattoo Tattoos have become hugely popular all over the world these days, and not only among the young; many older, or more mature, individuals are now getting a tattoo, whether an obvious choice or something more discreet. It does not matter what one’s preferences are, there is truly a tattoo – or tattoos – for everybody. Tattoo parlours employ tattoo artists, individuals with knowledge and expertise so they are able to offer their customers a good service that ensures that good safety measures are always followed when the application is done, they work with good electricity-driven machines and in an environment to ensure customers are relaxed. Those that have been in business for a long time and that come on good recommendation are often the busy ones, and if they go on making sure their services and tattoo products and supplies are good, even superior to others, chances are they will grow their influence and profile. However, parlours are but one of the choices. Many more individuals than ever before now opt for self-application, or application of the tattoo of their choice by someone they know – normally in an environment you prefer, such as your home. This is referred to as stick-and-poke since you apply the tattoo ink to your skin by hand – not a machine like you would find in a parlour – by using a needle and the ink you acquire beforehand. This method, call it a home method, is called the hand poke or stick-and-poke option since it is done by poking the skin for every dot one will see afterwards on your skin, with the choice of colour added as the process takes shape. It is indeed a hand poke method: no machines are used; instead the needle breaks the skin with separate hand pokes to allow the ink to be deposited under the skin. By repeating this process the tattoo takes shape and is applied to the skin. Of course, it is important to be well prepared if this is your chosen route. There are certain considerations which should always be included in your project. For example, be sure that you acquire your tattoos, the tools you will need for the application, your choice of ink, any accessories such as supplies to include, for example, soap to clean all areas on your skin, disinfectant wipes or sprays, gloves, dressings and any other supplies to make sure you work in a sterilised environment. All of this forms part of the preparation to be sure you have what you need, and that you know the importance of a clean skin on which to add the tattoo(s). Even though this method is easy to use, provided you ensure you have the correct tools such as needles, choice and combinations of ink (if you are going to use different colours and not only one such as black) and medical accessories such as swabs and the like, it is important you trust the shop or service you buy from, or where the person that will apply your tattoo(s) does. Once you feel confident about the retailer, online or otherwise, you are dealing with, you are good to go. Simply follow the instructions from the person you buy from. A good supplier will make sure you know exactly what to do and how to look after your tattoo, also while it is healing. A rule of thumb is to buy from a supplier that others would recommend for choices and service, as well as for the positive profile they enjoy as a supplier of tattoo ink, materials and accessories. Different individuals have different concerns. Some worry: Will application hurt? Yes, it will hurt but only for a very short while, the same as it would in a parlour. This will always be an individual thing. Others are worried their tattoo will fade very quickly. All tattoos fade with time; you simply add touch-up ink when you feel it is time.

2. Aftercare is important: find out from the source you buy your materials and ink from, what you need – and what the steps are to follow with regard to aftercare.
