Since ancient times, people have adorned themselves with drawings on their bodies. The tattoo was done by rubbing paint pigment into cuts on the skin. In the modern world, the tradition of tattooing has become entrenched and has acquired enormous proportions. A large number of people go to tattoo parlors to decorate their bodies. Tattoo is part of body art and contemporary art.
One of the first steps for drawing a picture is the selection of a sketch. A custom-made wizard helps the client determine the picture and draws the desired result.
A thin layer of antibacterial agent is applied to the selected area of the body, pre-treated with a napkin with an alcohol solution. With the help of special paper on which the desired pattern is applied, the master transfers the tattoo to the client’s skin. A carbon copy is applied to the skin for a certain period of time (a few seconds), then removed.
The tattoo is a pattern that is stuffed with pigment into the skin layer (dermis). For modern technology of drawing a picture, a special tattoo machine is used. It does bitmap and does not pose a risk to human health. A machine is used to inject pigment into the dermis through one needle attached to a rod. The rod is attached to a rotating device, due to which the needle is set in motion. Needle movement leaves 80-150 times per second.
This modern technology is safer and more hygienic when compared to traditional methods. The traditional technique is the use of large needles that tear open the skin to inject ink. These tattoo methods are still used by some ancient peoples..
A sterile needle treated with a barrier film must be attached to the tattoo machine. After the special containers are filled with pigment, the master proceeds to apply the pattern to the body. The skin is pre-lubricated with petroleum jelly, the master gradually begins to work with a needle with paint. In the course of work, the master removes excess paint with a napkin (cotton pad).
The pigment, getting into the skin, is scattered over the damaged area between different layers of the skin (epidermis and dermis), activating phagocytes, which are cells of the immune system, they, in the presence of foreign objects, absorb the paint pigment to eliminate the irritant.
The second stage is painting. It requires a special machine that is different from the first one. It is also required to be used with a sterile needle. Painting means drawing the final touches. After the completion of the second stage, an antiseptic ointment is applied to the tattoo surface and covered with a film fixed on the skin. The film is necessary to protect the skin from accidental contamination and so that the product does not stain the client’s clothes.
There is a wide variety of tattoo pigments. Some pigments and dyes are composed of inorganic materials.
The price range for a tattoo service varies quite a bit. The cost depends on factors such as the complexity of the sketch, the size and color of the tattoo. In fact, there is no standardized price for a tattoo, the cost for each is calculated individually. A lot also depends on the name of the master. The work of a well-known specialist cannot be cheap.
