Tattoo Aftercare Advice

After your session is complete, we bandage the area and inform you about the aftercare process. You are also provided with a sheet outlining this process. It is very important that you read these instructions and follow them carefully to prevent infection and maximize the intensity of your tattoo.

General consensus for care advises against removing the scab that may form on a new tattoo and avoiding exposure of your new tattoo to the sun for extended periods. Both of these can contribute to possible fading. It is generally recommended that you avoid too much contact with water on the new tattoo for the first few days and keep the area clean and moisturized.

We recommend that you consider these products to prevent irritation and infection, but we can also direct you to other similar products that can be purchased at any drug store. http://www.perfectimage.ca/tattoo-aftercare.php

Tattoo Health Risks

Because it requires breaking the skin barrier, tattooing may carry health risks, mainly being infection and allergic reactions. At our studios, we take all the necessary precautions to prevent the risk of infection by using sterile single use items and sterilizing our equipment and workspace after each session. But there is always the risk of infection during the healing stages which can help be prevented by strictly following the aftercare instructions.

Allergic reactions to tattoo pigments are uncommon except for certain brands of red and green. People who are sensitive or allergic to certain metals may react to the needle with swelling and/or itching and/or oozing of a clear fluid called sebum.

There is also a small risk of anaphylactic shock (hypersensitive reaction) in those who are susceptible. http://www.perfectimage.ca/tattoo-aftercare.php

Information about Tattoo Hygiene

Our studios are equipped with biohazard containers for objects that have come into contact with blood or bodily fluids, sharps containers for old needles, and an autoclave for sterilizing tools. Each tattooist is thoroughly trained to take all precautions to ensure the safety of our clients. This includes the washing their hands before tattooing a client as well as wearing a new pair of disposable latex gloves for each client.

During each tattoo session, your tattooist will open a new package of sterile needles in front of you that they will use. Any other disposable instruments or supplies that will be used during the session will be both new and sterile, again being opened in front of you before use. Each session will use fresh ink loaded into disposable containers which are discarded after each client. Also, all areas which may be touched with contaminated gloves will be wrapped in clear plastic to prevent cross-contamination.

Equipment that cannot be autoclaved (such as countertops, machines, and furniture) will be wiped with a hospital-strength germicidal disinfectant. Before any tattooing begins, we also ensure that the area on your body where the tattoo will be applied, is shaved using a disposable one use razor and then disinfected to prevent cross-contamination.

The Tattoo Procedure

Before any tattooing begins, you are required to fill out a questionaire form. This is for legal purposes and to inform us of any medical problems we should be aware of such as allergies (refer to "Health Risks"). Proof of age will also be required. Any persons under the age of 18 will be refused if they are not accompanied by their legal guardian. Any persons that are intoxicated, have any skin conditions, that are pregnant or nursing, or are incapable of consent due to mental incapacity will also be refused.

After the paperwork is in order, you will then sit down with your Tattoo Artist and they will go over the procedure with you to help you feel more comfortable and at ease with the process. They will also discuss your design and any details to ensure that you are satisfied before applying it.

Once your discussion is complete, you will be prepped in a private sterilized room for the procedure to begin. The most common method of applying tattoos in modern times uses an electric tattoo machine which inserts ink into the skin via a group of needles that are soldered onto a bar. This bar is attached to an oscillating unit that rapidly and repeatedly drives the needles in and out of the skin, usually 80 to 150 times a second. Fore more information on procedure, refer to the "Studio Hygiene" section. http://www.perfectimage.ca/tattoo-procedure.php

Information about Tattoo History

Tattooing is one of the oldest known forms of body decoration having been practiced by Eurasians since Neolithic times and evident in ancient Egyptian culture dating to roughly 2000 BCE. In Japan, tattooing is thought to go back to the Paleolithic era, some ten thousand years ago. The word tattoo itself is believed to have derived from two words - the Polynesian word "ta" that means 'striking something' and the Tahitian word "tatau" that means 'to mark something'.

Throughout history, tattoos have served many purposes - rites of passage, marks of status, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decoration for bravery, marks of fertility, even punishment and slave markings. However, in the last couple of decades, we have seen tattooing (along with body piercing) experience a resurgence in popularity and develop into a much more widespread practice, becoming increasingly fashionable. Today, tattooing still retains its historical heritage, but it is an art form more widely used for cosmetic or decorative reasons. This is directly related to the advancements in tattoo pigments and equipment and its introduction into pop culture which have helped tattooing become a much more tolerable art form in today's society. http://www.perfectimage.ca/tattoo-history.php
