Tattoos - Tips And Tricks

Did you know that you can possibly remove your tattoos and piercing manually? There are moments in a life of a person that he wanted to get a tattoo, and some time late in his life would want to remove the tattoo. Someone or something really in the life of a tattooed person might motivate him or her to get rid of the tattoos. Removing tattoos is possible. Though, there tattoo colors that are very difficult to eradicate. Black however, is the easiest to be removed. A person may persevere to get away with his tattoo manually but the process is similar to scraping the skin, which is harmful and can be infectious. Some scars are likely to be left during the removal of the tattooed skin. Aside from pain which one must endure during the removal of tattoo, the procedure is expensive. Deciding to remove either tattoos or piercings manually must be done wisely. Better yet, if you are not confident about the manual or self-removal of tattoos and piercing, look for better means of removing them that guarantee your safety. Some can heal their piercing in the long run, if no heavy jewelry is dangled in it. In other words, it was left without any jewels being put on which would enlarge the whole.

Did you know that piercing and tattooing is part of who a person is? Anybody who dreams to copy his favorite full-bodied tattooed and with piercing icon may follow the admired persons footsteps. Tattoo and piercing are reflections of what and who a person is in terms of fashion statement and subculture. Some would say that their sexuality is better off enhanced by body tattoos and piercing. Are they really sexy and beautiful on the eyes? Perhaps, these two body markings are fashionably acceptable but at times become an addiction especially if ones basis is their vanity. A person can hardly be stopped from having other parts of his body be pierced especially if they had begun with his ears or tongue. The nose bridge, eyebrows, chest, navel, nipple and other parts may be the next to be pierced. The same thing also applies in body tattooing. A small tattoo can little by little ask by the body owner to be enlarged. If you have ever seen a person with tattoo or excessive body piercing, you would immediately have an impression of who he is as a person the one who is trying to establish his own identity. The tattoos design can be a determinant of a persons identity. A person who has maintained a clean body that is free from any tattoo or piercing, connotes a special feature in his being that is dignified and hygienic. The interpretation of what or who a person is in terms of body arts alone is subjective to ones life orientation and cultures. Generally, the life experiences of the involved or tattooed or pierced individuals influenced them in determining whether to have their body be tattooed or pierced.

Did you know that the duration for conducting body tattooing depends upon where the tattoo was operated? When you want to have body tattoo, the first thing you would consider is the design. Should it be small or big? First and foremost, size is the primary consideration. The bigger the tattoo, the longer is the procedure for body tattooing. The complexity of the design is another factor. The more complex the design is, the more time required for body tattooing. The artist has to plan out meticulously and carefully and craft creatively the design to your skin, and it takes considerable amount of time to do this. Size and complexity of design are the two primary considerations to know about the length or duration of the body tattooing procedure. Another factor is the area where the tattoo will be placed. Those areas which the artist has an easy grip like the arm and the legs take shorter duration in body tattooing whereas those which are flat surfaced area like in the stomach takes longer time to conduct the procedure. The skin in the arm and legs are a lot easier to apply the tattoo dye because the skin in these areas can be easily stretched while those in the stomach are a lot difficult. Skin stretching is essential in applying the tattoo.

Did you know how a tattoo is removed? A person who has first pondered about the idea of getting himself a tattoo should have first considered if s/he could take his tattoo for a lifetime because if s/he is uncertain or would after a decade or less decide to have it removed, then the common last resort which is the removal process gives off worse painful experiences. The tattoo removal is not only a real painful experience, but also costly. There are three known methods of tattoo removal: laser removal, dermabrasion, and salabrasion. Among the three procedures, the most expensive is laser removal. A tattoo can only be entirely removed after multiple laser removal sessions. Does laser removal procedure guarantee a complete riddance of body tattoo? No, it doesnt. There is a minor pain during the process of laser removal and the pain is multiplied during recovery stage. The patient may choose to surgically scrape the tattooed skin part through the process of dermabrasion. This is truly painful but its effectiveness can be better assessed once the skin is healed or has regenerated. Another painful procedure is scraping off the skin part using a rubbing rock and salt through the process of salabrasion. The tattooed person may choose from the previously mentioned methods of tattoo removal, but for better medical result, s/he must look for licensed clinics to do the operation for highly guaranteed outcome.

Did you know that body tattooing and piercing are as old as the human civilization? Many cultures have been practicing body piercing and tattooing for centuries. How was the long history of body art proven? A 4,000 year old tattooed man that was discovered on the Austrian borders' glaciers, was a proof of the lengthy history of body tattooing. What is the connotation of every culture's tattoo and or piercing? In different cultures tattoo or pierces may connote fertility, nobility or royalty, for ornamental, cosmetic and religious purposes, criminals' identifications and punishment, identification of valor and virility. Body tattooing and piercing have long been practiced and have somewhat become common to many. However, every person must be fully aware that the presence of either body tattoo or piercing varies in purpose and each person has different impression on a fully tattooed person or greatly pierced individual. We can hardly remove the practices of tattooing and piercing, universally speaking, because these two have almost become integral parts of the humankind. However, the issues on question here is that whether the exaggeration of tattoo or pierces would be acceptable to different borders of the world. The competitive arena of employment marginalizes those who are with great number of tattoos and pierces for stereotyping that these people are either into drugs, gangs or evil-like influences. The body tattoos and piercing had been part of man's lives for centuries, but with the advancement of time, the orientation about what is good and acceptable to the community varies.
