How to Selecting Tattoo Style

Choosing a chopper tattoo design is certainly not something that should be rushed into. After all, it is wise to put a lot of thought into some thing that will be carried around with you for the rest of one’s life. Even if it takes you months, make sure that it is a style you won’t tire of and will absolutely love forever!

Deciding which part of your entire body your tattoo will go on is the initial choice you have to make. Perhaps you’ve a job which involves public contact so, in this case, have already started the procedure of elimination and know which body parts your tattoo definitely can not be placed on.

As soon as you start searching online, you will be amazed at how many different groups there are. Make a list from the categories you certainly do not want as nicely as the ones which you like then narrow it down for your final decision

How to care for a new Tattoo


There you have it; you finally decided to go get that tattoo you have been thinking about. You agonized over the design, worried about if it was going to be sore, what your mother might think and now have a beautiful tattoo just the way you dreamt it.

NOW WHAT? All new tattoos have to be cared for. The skin following a tattoo has been damaged and how you care for that abrasion can affect the healed tattooed skin.

The healing of your tattooed skin will be influenced by the artist’s skill that placed the ink, the size of tattoo, where it is placed, your general health, what type of job you have, how you care for your skin and your choice of aftercare. The tattoo studio will have given you aftercare advice. This will vary from studio to studio



Q. After your tattoo session – what happens next?

A. You can expect a little swelling and redness which can last for a few hours. There may be some bleeding, and weeping. Some people have no discomfort.

You will need to decide how you are going to clean the tattooed skin and what aftercare to use. Tattooed skin will heal on its’ own without an aftercare but the process can be uncomfortable. The skin can go very dry and itchy, scabs may form and the chance of picking these due to the itch will increase the risk of infection and loss of ink.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
DO:

? Wait 2-4 hours after you leave the tattoo studio before removing the dressing.

? Where possible wait until you are home to remove the dressing. Make sure you have antibacterial soap for
hand washing only.

? Wash your hands with antibacterial soap before removing the dressing.

? Use PLAIN WARM WATER to clean the skin over your new tattoo

? Do not use a face/wash cloth. Skin on Skin is best. Gently use your hand to remove any old blood, mucous or debris.

? Pat dry using a paper towel or clean hand towel. Allow to air dry for a few minutes.

? Wash your hands again using antibacterial soap and rinse thoroughly.

? Apply a small amount, a light film, of your aftercare product. Gently massage into the skin. Do not over apply.

? Do not recover the skin unless your tattoo is oozing lots of fluid. Loose clothing should be sufficient to protect your skin. (If you do need to recover new tattoos due to working in a dirty environment use sterile gauze dressing which will allow the skin to breathe and keep the dirt off.

? Apply another light film of your after fours later.

? Wash the tattoo again at night with WARM WATER and apply another fine film of aftercare.

? Keeping the skin supple and moisturized during the healing process lessen the chances of scabbing.

? As healing progresses washing the tattooed skin once a day with water will be sufficient cleansing.

? Apply a light film of aftercare 2-4 time daily until the skin has healed.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT:

› Show your ink to all your friends within the first couple of hours. Try to avoid this temptation as good hygiene practices mean everything. The risk in getting an infection is much higher in the first few hours after tattooing.

› Do not share your aftercare product with anyone.

› During the healing period, stay out of swimming pools, saunas, and partaking in water sports until the skin has completely healed. Soaking a new tattoo can cause it to lose it’s brightness. It is okay to shower as long as you don’t soak the tattooed skin for long periods.

HEALING PROCESS
As the skin heals any weeping would have stopped. The top layer of skin will start to heal. Sometimes the skin can scab. Some people are prone to scabbing, overworked areas can cause scabbing. Using a good aftercare can help prevent scabbing.

The skin might also start to lightly flake (like skin that peels after sunburn. This is normal and more noticeable with heavily coloured and full black tattoos. This light flaking may continue for a few days then the skin might go shiny – also a bit wrinkly.

DON’T PANIC this is the top layer of skin healing. During this time the skin may become itchy and will be fragile. Using a good quality aftercare like TAC will help stop the itching.

After few days the skin will look duller. This is not how your tattooed skin will be. As both layers of skin heal the tattoo will start to look brighter.

If you skin does scab don’t pick them. This can introduce infection into the skin. It can also pull ink out leaving gaps in your ink work. Keep the area moisturized and allow the scabs to fall off naturally.

Amazing Phoenix - Japanese Tattoo Designs

Amazing Phoenix - Japanese Tattoo Designs. The phoenix incorporates notions of life, rebirth and renewal. If you are contemplating a phoenix bird tattoo you need to take these values into account. Also, a phoenix bird of fire tattoo must be of sufficient size to make an impact. This is a magnificent bird and deserves respect - size is important. You simply can't represent the idea of eternal life with a small tattoo!

With so many tattoo designs around it can be somewhat bewildering trying to figure out which one is right for you. There are many factors to take into account but, essentially, the most important factor is decoding the meaning behind the tattoo design. Ask yourself, "What does this design represent?" It's true that some tattoos are loads of fun and don't really have any significance - nothing wrong with that! But a phoenix tattoo doesn't really fall into that category. A phoenix tattoo design has a definite purpose and significance which you need to know about before going ahead and getting this tattoo design inked.

So who or what is the phoenix? Well, this mythological bird is extremely mystical and enigmatic. Because of this, it is a very popular motif in tattoo artwork around the world. This bird's origins are believed to lie in the ancient country of Ethiopia in Africa. The bird's name is connected with 'fire' and the color 'red.'
