Tattoo Process

12:19 AM Posted by jaringan baik

Deciding to get a tattoo is a very personal decision. You've put a lot of thought into what you want your tattoo to look like and where you want to put it. Unfortunately, many people who want to get a tattoo actually stop right there because they're nervous. They may not know what exactly to expect when they are getting a tattoo. Knowing what goes on when you get a tattoo can go a long way toward making you feel more confident about getting a tattoo.

The process of getting a tattoo begins with choosing your tattoo artist. Take your time finding a tattoo artist you like. Look at samples of their work. Pay special attention to the line work. Lines that look wobbly or uneven are a sign of a less experienced artist. Getting a tattoo is one time that you really need to be willing to pay for quality and experience. Remember that your tattoo is a piece of art that will be on your body for the rest of your life. This isn't a time to bargain shop.

Once you have chosen your artist, it's time to talk to him about what you want your tattoo to look like. You may have an exact design that you want done, or you may have some ideas that you want the artist to incorporate into a custom design. When your tattoo design is just the way you want it, your artist use a machine that will copy the design onto a piece of thermal paper.


Now it's time to sit in the tattoo chair. The area that is being tattooed will be shaved with a new disposable razor so that any tiny hairs won't get in the way. The thermal paper with your tattoo design will be applied to the area and the design will be transferred directly onto your skin. Your tattoo artist will apply ointment over the design so that it won't rub off and so that the tattoo needle will glide more easily over your skin.


Your artist will do the line work first, following the design exactly. For most people, the first couple of minutes are the most uncomfortable, but then you get used to the sensation and start to relax. Once the line work is done, your artist will finish your tattoo by doing the color and shading.

When your tattoo is finished, your artist will clean the area and let you take a few minutes to admire your new body art. The artist will then apply ointment and a bandage to your tattoo. Be sure to keep the bandage on for the amount of time that your artist instructs.


Your artist will give you aftercare instructions and explain them step by step. It's important to follow these instructions carefully in order to protect your tattoo from infection. If your tattoo becomes infected not only is it a health issue for you, but it can actually mess up the tattoo. If your artist recommends specific aftercare products, it's a good idea to purchase them. Your artist has a lot of experience with all aspects of the tattoo process and knows which products work best for aftercare.
