Tatto Design Care: Before Your Choose Your Tatto |
|
|
If you're going to spend two hundred bucks (or more) on that gorgeous piece of art tattooed on your calf, you should protect your tatto design investment with proper aftercare. It isn't difficult to care for your work after it's finished, but it is a lifetime job. As long as you have that tat, you will want to maintain it. Otherwise, you'll pay for unnecessary touch-ups and cover-up jobs later. Just because you've wanted a tatto design forever and twenty days does not mean that you should necessarily get one. For some people, they are bad ideas because they will not heal properly, won't show up well, or will complicate their personal lives. Some factors to consider before you sit down for your tat include: - Professional appearance. Getting something on the back of your shoulder shouldn't jeopardize your chances of landing that perfect corporate job, but obscenities on your knuckles probably will. You can always pick sites that are easily covered or check into tat-concealing makeup before you make a decision. - Your skin tone. If you have very dark skin (or, worse, a near-solid covering of freckles), the artist can still give you a tat. The problem is that it will either require heavier outlining or not show up as well. If you aren't sure, ask for a temporary version of your dream tat before you get the real thing. If nothing else, you'll see how great it will look once it's done "for real." The final outcome. Look at the various scars all over your body. Are they obvious eyesores because of the way that your body heals wounds, or do they blend well with the rest of your skin? Surgical scars should not necessarily be factored into your decision, especially if they are invasive (i.e. non-arthroscopic). If, however, your body turns paper cuts and briar scratches into hideous, jagged nightmares, you should reconsider. Consult two or three tatto artists for their opinions before you make a final decision: in some cases, it might not be as bad as you think. You should also check out the artist and his or her studio before you allow anybody to give you a tatto design. Remember that this is technically a medical procedure, as they are pushing needles beneath your skin. If the artist and his or her workplace are not clean and sanitary, you could risk unnecessary infections. Check the Better Business Bureau for past complaints and reports, or simply ask the artist if you can tour the work place before you let him or her start work. Most artists are very reputable and take your health seriously, but it doesn't hurt to check it out first. No tatto design, however gorgeous or well-done, is worth blood-borne diseases, unnecessary infections or other ailments.
