Tattooists do ancient traditional tattoos.

The whole process of tattooing requires strict attention to hygienic operation, which is not only for the safety of tattooing, but also to prevent the tattooing part from being infected by bacteria and destroy the overall effect. The consumables used for tattoo must be qualified disposable articles, such as needles, dye cups, absorbent cotton, etc. Tattooists should wear disposable sterile latex gloves when operating, and use medical alcohol to effectively disinfect the tattooed skin before tattooing. After tattooing, apply anti-scar ointment on the tattooed part and wrap it with plastic wrap. Remove the plastic wrap within 4-6 hours after tattooing, wash the ointment and residual pigment on the tattooed part with warm water, and take anti-inflammatory drugs three or four times in a row. Please don't apply any medicine after the tattoo is clear, so as not to make the tattoo fade and destroy the overall effect of the pattern. However, after not taking a shower, use a facial tissue or absorbent cotton to absorb the water in the tattoo area and keep the tattoo area dry. Uncovered tattoos should avoid bacterial infection and should not go to swimming pools and saunas. Just don't soak in the water for a long time. Don't expose yourself to the sun if your tattoo is not good in summer. It is normal for the tattoo to itch or fall off within 3-5 days after completion. Be careful not to scratch with your hands to avoid fading. If it is a tattoo in summer, special attention should be paid to prevent the tattoo part from being infected with bacteria due to excessive sweating, so it is necessary to keep the tattoo part dry, so spring, autumn and winter are relatively good seasons for tattoos. Generally, the tattooed part can be completely recovered in 7- 10 days, and the recovery period is slightly different for each tattoo recipient's system. After the tattoo is healed, it still needs to be maintained, because the epidermis of the tattoo site will definitely be slightly damaged during the tattoo process, which may not be as delicate as before, so it is necessary to apply some greasy cosmetics such as sheep oil and vaseline oil to the tattoo site frequently. After such careful care, of course, exquisite tattoo patterns will be more natural, vivid, smart and full of vitality.
