Tattoos
People have been getting tattoos since before the start
of history, and can be found in some form in almost
every culture. With the recent rise in popularity of
getting tattoos in the United States, you are probably
reading this because you are interested in getting a
tattoo. If that is the case, it is important for you to
know as many of the facts as possible before getting a
tattoo.
HOW IS A TATTOO
CREATED?
A tattoo is produced by the inserting of pigments under
your skin. This is usually done with an electric tattoo
machine that involves a tightly packed set of needles.
WHAT ARE THE
RISKS FROM GETTING A TATTOO?
If you are thinking about getting a tattoo, you should
be aware of the risks inherent in the process. Like any
process that breaks the skin barrier, getting a tattoo
can potentially expose you to a number of health risks.
The most common health risks associated with a getting a
tattoo are allergic reactions and infections.
Most tattoo pigments contain metals that can potentially
cause you to have an allergic reaction if you have
particularly sensitive skin. This is a particular
concern in connection with red and green pigments. If
you have an allergic reaction, the skin area around your
new tattoo can become swollen and itchy. In very bad
cases, the skin area can even start to ooze fluids.
Obviously, it would be preferable to avoid this outcome.
Fortunately, allergic reactions to tattoo pigments are
relatively rare. If you are concerned about having an
allergic reaction, ask your tattoo artists to do a spot
test first. That way, if you discover that you are
allergic to a particular pigment, you will not end up
with a life size oozing eagle across your chest.
Another major health risk with getting a tattoo is
contracting blood-borne infections suck as hepatitis,
tetanus or even HIV. Given the nature of these diseases,
however, the only real risk for becoming infected with a
blood-borne infection from getting a tattoo is if an
instrument used on you was already used on someone else
and still contains some of their blood. In professional
settings the risk of catching an infectious disease from
getting a tattoo can be largely managed through
sterilization and the exclusive adoption of single-use
tools.
Although not a health risk, it should also be remembered
that it is generally difficult to remove a tattoo; keep
this in mind before you have your current girlfriend’s
name tattooed across your forehead. Laser treatments can
get rid of tattoos by attempting to breakdown the
pigments in the tattoo. This is not really getting rid
of the tattoo, however, bur rather just speeding up the
tattoo’s natural fading process.
HOW DO YOU FIND A
GOOD TATTOO ARTIST?
The most important step is to make sure they are fully
licensed in your jurisdiction. If they are licensed,
that means they follow all of the safety precautions
that are required to ensure that you will be safe while
getting a tattoo. But do not just rely on their license.
Make sure they are washing their hands, that their work
area is clean and hygienic, and – most importantly –
that they are only using single-use tools on you. Other
than safety, ask to see their portfolio to ensure that
they have the skill required to create a beautiful work
of art that you will be happy with.
