Visible or hardly visible area, so as not to scratch it
constantly? Size matters? Better to start small? You don’t have to love
needles, in fact, it’s better than not because of what might happen (bad joke),
but surely the tattoos are grabbing your attention and you don’t know where to
start if you’re going to regret it. if you need to follow an impulse, think
about it or what to do with your life and ink.
We have collected the most common questions that you may
have if there are no eternal patterns on your skin yet, and you want to start
something, but do not know how to do it. We spoke with Maria (@emmacrab) and
Nacho (@nachocorazonsalvaje) from Tatuajería Corazón Salvaje
(@tatuajeriacorazonsalvaje), a place where if you decide to do something, you
can be sure of the quality. And besides the fact that they are good artists,
they also smear, which is appreciated.
Is it a visible area or is it rarely seen so as not to be
scratched when you see it all the time?
TJS. The visible area or not, it again depends on each. From
your personal circumstances, work, or tastes. There are many factors that can inspiration
where to place a tattoo, but one that shouldn't be the protagonist is doubt
about "fatigue." When you leave marks on your skin forever, this is
the last thing you should think about, if not, then it may not be time to make
that decision.
Size matters? Better to start small?
TJS. The size, as well as the position of the tattoo, is
influenced by various factors. It could be a virgin skin that still allows you
to give more freedom of choice, or meet a client with whom you can compose in
free space with the rest of the pieces that you have already brought. Starting
with more or less will be determined in accordance with the idea that has
arisen. Each design may require a few minimums to make the product look good,
so yes, size does matter. It doesn't matter if you start with more or less - it
doesn't really matter, it really has to do with the firm decision to want to do
it.
Should pain matter to us? Is it preferable to use an
anesthetic cream?
TCS. Pain is important as it is an integral part of the
tattoo. Depending on the pain threshold of each person, it will be possible to
work with more or less time and body parts. Anesthetic cream is a medicine, and
therefore, as technicians and not doctors, we do not use it in any way, but only
approved cosmetic products.
E. Are there any precautions to follow before ...
For example, do not tan for "x" days, do not smoke or drink ...
TCS. The recommendations for pre-and postoperative care
should be followed. First, avoid any type of skin damage (burns, wounds,
dermatological reactions requiring treatment ...) or take any medications or
substances that may interfere with tattooing or alter blood clotting.
