Tattoo

Your body is shaking like you are outside in the winter with no coat on and this is not an exaggeration, but your not outside you are inside. You are sweating because you are so nervous and then it happens; your tattoo begins. The process of getting a tattoo could be long or short depending on what kind of tattoo you get, and how long before you receive the tattoo that you plan it.

The people that really care about what kind of tattoo they are getting will spend from a week to a year planning their tattoo, and some don’t know what they want to get until they go into the shop. For most people (and me) the most nervous time when you are getting a tattoo is right before the artist puts the needle into your body. It feels like a bee sting over and over. One misconception about tattoos is that people think that if you get a large one, that takes much filling in that the filling in is what hurts the most but that is so wrong. It is the outline that hurts the most because the artist is driving that needle into new nerves every time, and when they are filling it in your nerves get numb because they get used to the constant pressure of the razor sharp needle.

The way to know if the tattoo parlor you go to is clean is to first k


If you want take exceptional care of your tattoo, you must put some kind of ointment on the tattoo, preferably Bacitracin. You should put a thin layer of the ointment on your tattoo three to four times a day or when the old ointment dries out. Then you wash the old ointment off, and apply the new layer. You should do this for the first week you have your tattoo, or until the all of the dead skin from the area where you got the tattoo has all peeled off. Then you could use Vaseline or regular hand cream. One very important fact about the after care of your tattoo is to try not to pick the dead skin off. If it is not ready to fall off naturally and you pick at it, it will bleed and take the ink off and you will have a white spot there. I know this from experience. Even months after you get your tattoo you should still put lotion on it to keep the color vibrant in appearance.

Another misconception about tattoos is that you are supposed to keep the bandages on it for five to six hours because the ink will run off the tattoo. The only reason they tell you to keep it on is so the bandages soak-up all of the blood, and so you will not get any infections. People also think that you should put plastic wrap around the tattoo to keep the color in. This is also wrong; this is a myth. I do not know why but people also seem to believe that if you put your new tattoo under water the ink will run. This is also wrong because water does not effect the ink at all. The artist will tell you to keep your tattoo out of water because it will feel like you have the worst sunburn of your life.

When you go into the sun for a long period of time, yo
