A tattoo is a permanent mark on the skin made by piercing the skin with needles and introducing pigment. Tattooing is considered generally safe when doneby an experienced tattooist who sterilizes equipment and follows proper sanitary practices, and if appropriate care is taken during the healing process. However, getting a tattoo involves perforating the skin--one of the body's principal protections against disease. If not done safely, this can cause life-threatening infections. (HIV), hepatitis B virus, and other blood-borne infections may be transmitted if blood-contaminated instruments are not properlysterilized or disinfected.
They have been used for various aims thorough the history; although its purpose varies fromculture to culture. In ancient Egypt, a tattoo was considered a sign of nobility or fertility. Believed by many ancient peoples to provide magical protection against bad luck or disease, tattoos were used to identify rank, social position, or group membership in a variety of cultures including the Greeks, ancient Britons and Germans. In Roman times, tattoos were the mark of slaves and criminals, but the dawning of Christianity brought the practice into disreupte and tattooing was forbidden in Europe.
Tattoos are applied using a small device that works like a sewing machine. Aneedle bar containing anywhere from one to 14 needles is moved across the skin. The needles penetrate the skin, injecting colored ink. This can produce pain, and a small amount of bleeding. You can expect the site to crust and peelduring the first week.
The current popularity of tattooing and body piercing has also brought on an increase in potentially hazardous conditions. There are no state or federal regulations regarding tatooing, and neither the procedures nor the pigments used in the process are regulated.
Anyone considering a tattoo should visit a number of tattooists, observing the cleanliness of their establishments and asking about infection control. Look around you. The area must be well-lit. The spray bottle the artist uses onyour skin should be disinfectedbetween customers. Reputable studios take pride in their sterilization practices and equipment. They should be happy to answer your questions. If a tattooist refuses to discuss safety issues, go somewhere else.
