A tattoo is a body art made by inserting ink into the skin with the help of a needle and it. Pre-historic methods of tattoo art were quite painful and unhygienic, whilst the modern methods are almost painless and extremely safe.


The Tattoo and You

Millions of individuals have started getting tattoos on their skin, as they feel it is an extension of oneself, a memory, or even for the sake of feeling good, or about getting a symbol that defines them. Ancient tattoo instruments were needles that were created from various bone fragments, wood or steel. It is what makes us feel powerful and confident about ourselves. Modern tattoo artists use technology to fabricate the finest designs as well push the boundaries of tattoo with magnificent creations that can mesmerize the human mind and soul.


The Modern Tattoo Process

Tattoos are permanent markings made on the skin with needles into the top layer of the skin or the epidermis. A plethora of ink types and pigments are used to create tattoos, this ink moves into the second layer of the skin making the process permanent, it stays for an entire as a result of the stability of the dermis. The tattoo machine moves on a pulsating mechanism that moves the needle up and down and as a result pushes the ink into the skin. This machine can be classified into various types- Pneumatic, Coil and Rotary. New technology has enabled tattoo machines to be state-of-the-art high precision, accuracy, force, speed, safety and lots more.

For the process to start a tattoo artist needs to disinfect their hands with soap, the process continues with shaving of the area if it is required and a stencil sketch. The tattoo artist shall then put on new gloves and a mask, whilst cleaning the area with a disinfectant and a layer of petroleum jelly for the process to be painless. An outline of the design would be created with needles and then the portion to be colored would need thick needles to complete the process. If there is blood it would be cleaned by a disposable towel or cloth, on finishing the tattoo, the area would again be cleaned and bandaged.
