🧼 Understanding Tattoo Hygiene and Process 🧼 Getting your first tattoo is an exciting milestone, but it’s essential to know about the hygiene and process to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Here’s what you need to know: 1. Clean and Sterile Environment Tattoo studios should maintain the highest standards of cleanliness. All surfaces are disinfected, and equipment is sterilized before each use. Make sure you choose a reputable studio that prioritizes hygiene. 2. Single-Use Needles and Ink Tattoo needles and ink caps should be single-use and disposed of after each session. Your artist will open a new, sterile needle in front of you, ensuring your safety. 3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Your tattoo artist will wear gloves, and sometimes a mask and protective eyewear. This prevents cross-contamination and ensures a hygienic environment. 4. Skin Preparation Before starting, the area of your skin to be tattooed is thoroughly cleaned and shaved if necessary. This helps prevent infection and ensures the ink adheres properly. 5. Tattoo Process The tattooing process involves using a machine to inject ink into the second layer of your skin. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the design’s complexity. 6. Aftercare Instructions Proper aftercare is crucial. Your artist will provide detailed instructions, which typically include: * Keeping the tattoo clean and dry for the first few days * Applying a thin layer of healing ointment * Avoiding direct sunlight, swimming, and heavy sweating * Not picking at scabs or peeling skin 7. Signs of Infection While rare, it’s essential to be aware of signs of infection, such as excessive redness, swelling, pain, or discharge. If you experience any of these, contact your tattoo artist or a medical professional immediately. Remember, a tattoo is a lifelong commitment, so it’s worth taking the time to ensure the process is safe and hygienic. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask – your health and satisfaction are our top priorities.

I think I should leave these photos here as a keepsake. ⠀My weakness, my love, my second hobby is cars.I love the night atmosphere, when phonk is playing, you drive past houses, in the dark, in your thoughts..I love the atmosphere when I'm in the garage with friends, making an engine or suspension, improving something in the car, adjusting it for myself...This is my little kind of meditation. ⠀ #tattoo #graphictattoo #linework #tattoo #dotwork #geometrictattoo #ornaments #ornamental #ornamentaltattoo #darkornamental #abstraction #abstracttattoo #whipshaded #hanya #hanyatattoo #chicago #chicagotattoo #chicagotattoos #chicagotattooartist #chicagotattooartists #graphictattoo #coveruptattoo #coverup #naperville #napervilletattoo #napervilletattooartist
