Often when we think of tattoos, we think of a long and painful process. This is often a scary thought. Many people do not even think about getting a tattoo simply because of their idea of what the process entails.
To understand what getting a tattoo, you must first have a quick look at a fraction of the human anatomy. The skin is composed of two layers, the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin, the part we can see and touch. The dermis is the deeper layer, or secondary layer.
When applying a tattoo, the ink is injected deep into the dermis. In the epidermis sheds an enormous amount of cells every day, the dermis is a more appropriate place to inject ink. Otherwise, shedding occurs causing the tattoo to be only temporary. When injected into the dermis, the tattoo ink lasts a lifetime.
The method of creating a tattoo has not changed much since the beginning. It is believed that the designs were created in the skin with sharp pieces of bone in the distant past. Today, the needles deliver the ink into the dermis. These needles can produce up to 30,000 needles per minute.
Tattoos are made by a process similar to stippling. A series of dots creates the image of the design. More dots closer creates a darker or more solid in appearance image. Separate the points that a clearer picture or a shadow effect.
Tattoo machine that the artist used to create the design consists of three main parts. An ink source that contains the special ink of the chosen color is typically connected to the machine. A tube connects the ink supply to the machine. The needle is part of the machine that pierces the skin of the administration of the ink.
Most tattoo artists use single use or disposable needles. Sterilization is one of the most important things with tattoo art. These needles should always be thoroughly sterilized before being used in a person. The needles are discarded after use.
The tattoo ink comes in a wide range of colors. Virtually any design with any color combination can be created. Tattoo artists and salons have samples on display, but you can always change aspects of a design to suit individual preferences.
With the election chosen design and color, tattoo machine with selected needle type and location decided by the body, the tattoo is administered by puncturing the skin while the ink is injected. The time frame it takes to get a tattoo varies depending on the complexity and size of design.
The pain can be a part of the experience. But usually not as bad as expected. Many people with tattoos described the procedure as more uncomfortable than painful. Many times the most uncomfortable part is having to sit in the same position for the length of time.
After care is an important part of the tattoo. Bandage will be necessary, some bleeding can occur and care must be taken to reduce exposure to sunlight and excessive water. Rubbing and scratching the newly created tattoo can cause scarring. You can also make the image to distort permanently.
The pain may vary depending on the individual's pain tolerance. When the tattoo is applied on the body can also be a variable in the amount of pain. In general, the process is fairly quick and painless compared with the end result.
