I am eighteen years old and want to get a tattoo. I don't know what to tattoo because I'm afraid of taboos. What should I tattoo? I am an indomitable person myself.

Tattoos have some things, such as Buddha statue, Guanyin statue, death, hag and Luo Cha ghost. Don't tattoo them on your back or chest easily, especially those with weak constitution, who may "can't move their backs" or "can't move their backs". In addition, it is not good to put the Buddha statue, Guanyin statue or Guan tattoo on your chest, because you feel that you want to use Buddha power or divine power to block evil spirits, disrespectful to the Buddha, and you may "hug", so usually these patterns are tattooed on your arms or legs. One of the disadvantages of tattoos is that the skin is the first line of defense of the human body. It can resist the damage of external mechanical, physical and chemical stimuli and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and plays an important role in human health. Tattoos, on the other hand, destroy this line of defense, making the human body's ability to resist various stimuli decline, especially prone to bacterial infection. Most tattoo artists don't know medicine, and disinfection is not strict or not at all. When the needle tip pierces the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, causing various infectious diseases, such as furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas and impetigo. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly toxic, and even grow and multiply in the blood, they will suffer from septicemia, which is life-threatening.

Disadvantage 2 of tattoo: The disadvantage of tattoo is that it may be difficult to find a job if it is tattooed in a more obvious part, because some work units refuse to accept people with tattoos.

Disadvantages of tattoos: There are many kinds of pigments used in tattoos, many of which are chemical substances. These chemicals will cause dermatitis and allergies after entering the human body, and even make local itching, pain, burning sensation, numbness and so on. Some will also lead to cell mutation, which is a prelude to cancer. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to remove tattoos. At present, a special drug has not been developed to remove them. The only way is plastic surgery.

The disadvantages of tattoos are now clear to everyone. In the past, many young people liked to choose tattoos in order to pursue temporary excitement. Nowadays, many people are worried about tattoos. Now let's look at the process of tattooing, and everyone will understand the disadvantages of tattooing. [Edit this paragraph] The process of tattooing is the act of puncturing the bottom layer of the skin with colored needles and leaving a permanent pattern on the skin. Many stars have tattoos, especially some sports stars, which makes many young people try their best to imitate tattoos. But in fact, tattooing is a harmful behavior. Here, let's introduce the harm of tattoos. Tattoos have become an art, a fashion and a culture, and gradually become a way for new people to show their individuality. But from a medical point of view, tattoos affect health. [Edit this paragraph] The precautions for tattoos should first pay attention to whether the equipment in the tattoo shop is hygienic. 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.

Tattoo pattern 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 finished, wash the tattoo with warm water and keep it dry (usually for a week), otherwise it will cause infection and lead to skin rot.

Fourth, tattoos such as animal blood or cinnabar should not be used. 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, dry it with absorbent cotton or professional paper towel, and then don't apply any medicine.

Seventh, itching, scabbing and peeling are normal phenomena after a few days of tattoo completion. 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 allergic dermatitis, itching and abrasion. 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. 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. [Edit this paragraph] Precautions before tattooing * The pain of tattooing is completely tolerable. Try to relax and cooperate with the tattoo artist when operating.

* Please listen to the staff's postoperative maintenance methods after operation.

* Should keep enough sleep before and after the operation to avoid overworked women to avoid menstrual period.

* Scar coverage requirements: 1 year later, modify the pattern to see the specific complexity and determine the modification plan [edit this paragraph] Precautions after tattoo 1. Tear off the plastic wrap or gauze 5-7 hours after tattooing, rinse the tattooed wound with warm water, and do not use soap or bath.

Second, it is normal for the wound to have bloody exudation 1-2 days after Wen's death. Don't apply trauma ointment at will, and don't touch the wound with your hands.

Third, ensure that the wound is clean and dry. Dry the wound surface with a dry paper towel after taking a bath or after a lot of exercise.

Fourth, the wound should not be treated with alcohol or iodine to prevent infection, and an appropriate amount of trauma anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally.

5. Don't drink alcohol and spicy food before the wound heals, and don't swim in the sauna (only rinse with warm water).

Six, a few days after the tattoo is completed, itching, scabbing, peeling, do not scratch the wound, so as not to change color, wear loose and comfortable clothes.

Seven, pay attention to the hygiene of the wound. Be sure to take a bath behind your back, every day, but don't rub the tattoo's skin when you wash it, because bathing means washing the oozing body fluids and residual ointment, but be careful not to use irritating bath liquid, soap and the like, and the bathing time should not be too long. You can take a bath, but you shouldn't take a bath or swim. Please don't stop taking a shower just because someone says you can't take a shower for a few days after tattooing. I'm talking about personal experience. If you don't take a bath, you will only get a thick scab, and your recovery will be slow and uncomfortable. It is normal that the tattoo will itch, peel off and form a thin scab during the recovery process, but don't scratch the tattoo with your hands, otherwise it will affect the color of the tattoo. If the skin recovers well, it will generally heal in about 10 days. In the future, we should consciously protect the tattoo area (if the skin in the tattoo area is injured, it will affect the color, and if it is serious, it needs supplementary color). And try not to drink alcohol, eat seafood and spicy food before the tattoo is fully recovered, because these will cause redness, itching and even allergic symptoms in the tattoo area, which will easily have adverse consequences on the tattoo. [Edit this paragraph] Tattoos are not good for bodybuilding. It is said that tattooed people are brave and have the courage not to be afraid of acupuncture, but they cannot completely erase the shadow of "rudeness" and "malice" in the traditional impression. Relevant data show that more than two-thirds of male tattooers have a criminal history, and more than half of them have embarked on a criminal path because of tattoos.

Talking about Du's Tattoos Have you seen the third part of the TV series "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms"? This novel, adapted from Taiwan Province woman writer Qiong Yao, reflects the life and love of a group of young painters by the West Lake in the early years of the Republic of China. The plot is fascinating and exciting.

Sandy, the heroine, fell in love with Mei Ruohong, who loves painting very much. She even carved her infatuation on her chest and stabbed an indelible colorful plum blossom, which was touching and tearful. Du's actions showed her innocence and dedication to love, which changed the traditional view that tattoos were "rude" at that time.

Tattoos: Showing Courage? Seeking beauty? Mark?

Many people's tattoos are observed in police films and violent films imported from abroad or Hong Kong and Taiwan. The film and television scenes of tattoos often focus on those underworld members, thugs, terrorists and others. Their chests, backs, arms and other places are densely tattooed with animal patterns such as blue dragons, snakes and eagles. It seems to be a common impression that tattoos are cruel and vicious.

In ancient times, many countries and nations used tattoo patterns as totem symbols of worship. Although times have changed, there are still very few indigenous people in the world who have left this ancient custom. So, the guy who tattooed for courage? Or is it for beautiful patterns or just a mysterious organization's pattern marks? The mystery and mentality can't be explained clearly in a few words.

"Tattoo clan" rises quietly.

Nowadays, in some big cities in China, many young people imitate other people's tattoos in pursuit of excitement and fashion. There are dragon, snake, tiger, horse, eagle, bee, rose and other animals and plants tattooed on arms, wrists, back, chest and shoulders, as well as words such as forbearance, love and hate; There are more people who directly stab their names or worship idols. It can be said that the patterns are more and more diverse, the contents are more and more innovative, the colors are more and more colorful, and the styles are more and more strange. It is noteworthy that the number of tattoos is also increasing, from young men to young girls, quietly forming a "tattoo family." Nowadays, the world's impression of tattoos seems to be quietly changing.

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.

Tattoo stickers instead of tattoos

/kloc-In the past 0/0 years, tattoo stickers introduced to Hong Kong and Taiwan markets from Europe and America have been favored by some curious young men and women because of their exquisite printing, diverse styles, bright colors, good adhesion and good waterproof. It is reported that tattoo stickers show the beauty of tattoo painting, without the pain of tattoo acupuncture and the worry of long-term bad stimulation of tattoo pigments. High-quality tattoo stickers can keep the image unchanged for three or four days, easy to clean and remove, and can be replaced as decoration at will. Those who love tattoos may wish to use pictures instead of unhealthy tattoos. [Edit this paragraph] The method of tattoo removal is the world's most advanced brand-new Q-switched pulsed laser, which is controlled by computer for treatment. The emitted laser can penetrate the skin above the focus and enter the focus to treat the tattoo pigment at the focus. During the treatment, the pigment is gasified and crushed under the action of powerful laser, which makes the tattoo color fade. This degeneration will occur during treatment. Generally speaking, shallow tattoo treatment can achieve obvious curative effect once, or even completely eliminate it, and usually requires multiple treatments. Because the therapeutic effect has a great relationship with the nature of the dyes used in tattoos, generally speaking, the dye particles used in eyebrow tattoo eyeliner are fine and the dye components are pure, so the therapeutic effect is remarkable, and most of them can be obviously or completely eliminated after 2-3 treatments, and some more complicated tattoos can also be eliminated after 4-5 treatments. Ordinary tattoos, because the tattoo pigments used are mostly ordinary ink, not only have coarse particles, but also have more impurities, which are more difficult to treat than tattooed eyebrows and tattooed eyeliner. It usually takes 5-6 times to completely clear, and some patients may need longer treatment. In addition, the treatment of color tattoos is more difficult than ordinary tattoos, requiring more treatment times, and the interval between two treatments is three months. Because this kind of laser hardly damages the skin, it will not leave scars after general treatment, and it can completely restore the true color of the skin, but some people with scar constitution may have scar reaction, so before treatment, patients should tell the doctor about the situation.

There are great individual differences in the human body's response to laser treatment, and each patient's condition is light or heavy, so there are also great individual differences in the number of treatments for each person. Due to the characteristics of Asian skin, individual patients may have pigmentation. Usually, doctors will take preventive measures to avoid pigmentation in order to reduce the occurrence of pigmentation. Even if a few patients have pigmentation, they will disappear within a few months without special treatment.

Because the visual judgment of color is slow, you may only feel the effect of treatment when the color of the lesion fades by about 50%. Generally speaking, if the original cyan turns brown after one treatment, it means that the pigment has faded by 50%. There will be different degrees of skin edema in the treatment area (due to individual differences, the degree of edema is also different), and there may be slight oozing blood, which is a normal treatment response. [Edit this paragraph] Precautions for tattoo removal 1. Don't eat spicy, pigmented and irritating food for one to two weeks after each tattoo, and don't get wet for the first three days.

2. Keep the skin dry after each fading, and pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. If there is a blister, it is a normal reflection and you should not scratch it.

3. After the first tattoo removal, the second tattoo removal can only take 70-85 days (the interval depends on everyone's skin tissue), and the third interval is about 75-90 days (and so on).

4. Customers with tattoos should pay attention to their own maintenance. In the process of scabbing and itching, they should not scratch.

5. If the blisters can't be punctured at will, let the skin fade slowly.

6. If in doubt, please consult a professional, and don't handle it yourself. [Edit this paragraph] The choice of tattoo shop 1. Choice of tattoo shop: If you want to get a tattoo, you must go to a professional tattoo shop instead of a beauty salon that manages the tattoo business. Although the price is very cheap, it is difficult to guarantee the hygiene and quality, and the pictures printed by non-professional tattoo artists are very rough, which is really flattering. General professional tattoo shops can ensure hygiene and safety. The needle used for tattoo is disposable, so it will not be infected with blood diseases, and the pigment used for tattoo will not cause any harm to the skin and body (the pigments used in regular tattoo shops are all safe imported pigments), and the patterns printed by professional tattoo artists are very fine, so the price may not be low, but after all, a penny is worth a penny. There is generally no problem in caring for tattoos according to the requirements of tattoo artists, so don't worry.

Second, the perfect tattoo pattern and the correct methods and skills of professional tattoo artists are the guarantee of perfect tattoos.

Third, tattoos must be at least 18 years old.

4. Don't tattoo with animal blood, because animal blood is easy to infect diseases.

5. Don't treat the tattooed wound with alcohol or purple liquid medicine (alcohol will irritate the wound and purple liquid medicine will destroy the color of the tattoo).

6. The tattoo method is incorrect, and the disinfection is lax, which is easy to cause infection or infectious diseases.

Seven, you can use special soap or medical sodium chloride to clean the wound, never use bath liquid, (warm water is enough).

Eight, after the tattoo is completed, apply professional tattoo ointment, wrap it with plastic wrap or breathable cotton, rinse the ointment and oozing tissue fluid with warm water after 5 hours, dry it with absorbent cotton or professional paper towel, and then don't apply any medicine.

Nine, a few days after the tattoo is completed, itching, scabbing and peeling are normal phenomena. Don't scratch the wound to avoid infection or discoloration. Underwear should be soft, not too tight.

10. Don't do strenuous exercise for five days after writing, so as not to sweat a lot and make the wound infected. Please don't eat spicy food before the wound heals.

Eleven, tattoos can not swim or sauna for seven days to avoid anaerobic infection.

Twelve, severe diabetes, heart disease, epilepsy, skin disease patients should not be tattooed, female menstrual period should not be tattooed.

Thirteen, if there is ulceration, suppuration, running water, you need to use antibiotics, consult a tattoo artist or go to the hospital in time.

How to remove tattoos is different from tattooing eyebrows. Although body tattoos look similar to dark blue, in fact, most of them are deep in the skin and need 2-3 more operations. If the tattoo is deep, the stripping operation of erbium-doped laser can also be taken in parallel. In particular, the color of tattoos may determine the time and method of different operations. Red, yellow and green tattoos need to be treated in parallel with other lasers, and the number of operations will increase. [Edit this paragraph] Style classification of tattoo patterns. In this way, in the past hundred years, the tattoo art in the world, especially in western countries, has developed rapidly, and the number of complex patterns that can be drawn has also increased greatly, making tattoo art form various schools and styles. Here, I will briefly introduce the style classification of tattoo patterns for you:

The first kind: totem

The pattern painted in this work is a typical totem tattoo, which has a rough and primitive feeling and gives people a unrestrained aesthetic feeling. As mentioned earlier, this early tribal religious tattoo pattern is now widely used and occupies a very important position in modern tattoos.

The second kind: portrait

People who have portraits tattooed have the widest age range, because the tattoos of people's heads are of great significance to tattooed people: for example, some are their relatives, some are their idols, some are to commemorate friends, and some are to encourage themselves with the heads of people they admire. To be a tattoo artist like a tattoo, you must have strong painting skills. This has a deep connection with painting.

The third type: color patterns.

This type is actually too general, but it can't be subdivided and can only be roughly classified. Because the color pattern includes all the colors of typical and atypical tattoo patterns. Most modern people prefer this tattoo pattern. This tattoo is fashionable, durable and energetic.

The fourth category: Japanese tattoos

Japanese tattoos give people a direct feeling and have a strong visual impact. It is a tattoo style that occupies a very important position in the world. The content it conveys is actually very traditional Japanese cultural characteristics, but now a large number of tattoo lovers like this tattoo design style. It is a representative of oriental tattoos.

The fifth category: Paul diagram

Paul's tattoo is called the terminal test of tattoo industry, which was created by the famous American tattoo master Paul. Paul's tattoo will directly test the skill and experience of the tattoo artist. Paul's pattern has no lines and does not participate in any colors. It's a pattern made of black. The vision brought to people is artistic taste. Mainly depends on the tattoo artist's use of black (the level mainly depends on whether black is light black or light black), that is, the tattoo artist directly uses tattoo machine to make pictures on your skin. Belonging to Europe and America, the patterns are mainly demons and aliens. It is recommended to communicate with the tattoo artist carefully before tattooing this pattern, and change the style if necessary. Otherwise, a bad tattoo artist will bring black patterns to your skin.
