Statement and emphasis of tattoo

Tattoos, also known as tattoos and tattoos, use colored needles to penetrate into the bottom of the skin to create some patterns or words on the skin. That is, to pierce the skin and paint the wound to make the body have permanent patterns. The practice of causing bumps, stripes and scars on the skin is sometimes called tattooing. Plain tattoos are practiced in most parts of the world, but they are not practiced by people with darker skin. It is also rare in China in the past hundred years. Many ethnic groups believe that tattoos can prevent diseases and disasters. Some ethnic groups also use tattoos to show their status, identity or membership of a certain group, but the most common motivation is probably for beauty.

Tattoos originated from the custom of decorating the skin of primitive tribes around the world. That is, after the operation, an indelible pattern was left on a certain part of the body. Patterns include birds, animals, flowers or totems, scriptures, gossip and so on. Reflected their aesthetic consciousness and religious concept. In China, Gaoshan, De 'ang, Li, Dulong, Dai, Bulang, Jinuo and other ethnic groups all have tattoo customs.

Matters needing attention in tattooing

[Edit this paragraph]

First of all, we should pay attention to the equipment hygiene of tattoo shops. Tattooing can be called a minor operation, so the hygiene of the equipment is very important. Tattoo operators should use disposable gloves and needles, and tattoo machine should be made of stainless steel.

Second, we should know the quality of tattoo pigments. At present, tattoos generally do not use dyes and inks for tattoos, but liquid plant pigments soaked in alcohol. Because plant pigments are extracted from natural plants, they are less susceptible to infection when they penetrate into the skin.

Third, we should pay attention to our own protection. Use adrenaline to clean and stop bleeding when tattooing. After the tattoo is completed, it needs to be scrubbed with warm water, and the tattoo should be kept dry (usually lasting for one week), otherwise it will cause infection and lead to skin rot.

Fourth, don't tattoo with animal blood or cinnabar. Pigeon blood cinnabar tattoo is extremely dangerous.

Fifth, don't use alcohol or purple potion to treat stab wounds (alcohol will irritate wounds, and purple potion will destroy the color of tattoos).

Sixth, after the tattoo is completed, you need to apply professional tattoo ointment or medical vaseline. After 2-3 hours, rinse the ointment and blood with warm water and dry it with absorbent cotton or professional paper towels. Then don't apply any medicine.

Seventh, it is normal to itch, scab and desquamate a few days after tattoo. Don't scratch the wound to avoid infection or discoloration. Underwear should be soft, not too tight.

Eighth, no swimming or sauna for the time being after tattoo.

Ninth, if there is ulceration, suppuration, running water, delayed wound healing or fever, please consult a tattoo artist or go to the hospital for examination in time.

Chen Yanli, an associate professor in the Department of Dermatology at HKU, said that the chemical pigments used in tattoos can easily cause irritating and sensitive dermatitis, itching and abrasion on the affected area. If the pigment stays on the skin for a long time, it will cause skin dysfunction, and in severe cases, edema and ulceration will occur.

Professor Joerg Kisduhua Prinz, director of the Dermatology Clinic of the University of Munich, said that if the pigment contains 10% p-phenylenediamine, eight out of ten people will be allergic. Professor Plinz warned parents that children and teenagers should not be exposed to all kinds of products containing p-phenylenediamine. These harmful chemical dyes may cause far-reaching sequelae.

Some tattoo lovers even allow so-called "tattoo artists" to tattoo themselves with eyebrow tattooing machines and non-tattoo-specific pigments because of their lack of tattoo expertise! As we all know, because the motor torque and speed of the eyebrow tattoo machine are too insufficient, the effect of tattoo is often not to enhance beauty but to add ugliness; Moreover, skin lesions may be caused by reasons such as not mastering the depth. But the patterns printed by non-tattoo pigments are far more gorgeous than those printed by special pigments.

The health threats caused by tattoos include allergic reactions to raw materials. Tattoos can lead to viral infections such as hepatitis B. The methods to remove tattoos include scraping, skin grafting (plastic surgery) and laser surgery, which will leave scars.

Tattoos are harmful to health

Tattoos, which originated from ancient human culture, are not only for expressing courage, seeking beauty, worshiping or marking, but also a harmful behavior from the medical point of view. First of all, stabbing and tattooing the human body with a needle tip is undoubtedly a kind of harm to human skin cells and nerve cells, and it is an unhealthy behavior. Secondly, if the tattoo needle is not disinfected properly, it will spread many diseases, and may even spread viruses such as hepatitis B and AIDS. Thirdly, some people with special physique often have skin allergies, pathological reactions or scars after tattooing. As a result, they became ugly instead of pursuing beauty. Finally, it is worth noting that according to research, tattoo pigments specially used for tattoos contain heavy metals such as lead and chromium and other compounds. These colored chemical synthetic substances are potentially harmful to human health and are one of the factors that induce skin cancer.
