Tattoos…Safe or Sorry? by Micheline Moreaux
So…you’ve decided the time has come to get a tattoo. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your twentieth, the first thing you should do is make your checklist. Of course, if you’ve used a particular tattoo studio in the past and are familiar with it…the checklist process can be overlooked. But…if you’re using a new studio or artist, or this is your first tattoo, a checklist is of paramount importance. This point cannot be stressed enough.
That being said…you should be wondering exactly what your checklist should consist of. In the following few paragraphs, I’ll try to show you how to compile a comprehensive checklist that will aid you in having a safe and rewarding inking experience. So, here we go…
The first set of questions on your list should concern your tattoo design .
#1. Is your design compatable with your values and faith?
#2. Do you have an image or sketch of your idea to bring to the your artist?
#3. Will your design fit in the space on your body where you want it? Will detail be lost making it fit?
#4. Are you sure you want this design inked on your body forever? Will you still think it’s cool when
you’re growing older? And…how will your aging affect its appearence?
#5. Should placement be a concern? Are you prepared for potential future job/career consequences should your tattoo be uncoverable?
Next you’ll want to concentrate on the tattoo artist. You should try to focus on the following points:
#1. Have you had a recommendation from a satisfied client and seen their ink?
#2. Have you checked out at your artists portfolio for the quality of their work?
#3. Have you consulted your artist about your ideas? Are they open to suggestions?
#4. Do you feel comfortable with your artist? Does he/she seem trustworthy?
#5. Ask the artist how long they have been with the studio, how long they have been tattooing and who they trained with. Always remember…anyone can open up a tattoo studio regardless of talent with some ink, a tattoo machine and a little money.
I’d like to state at this point that none of these topics we’re covering here is more important than the other… each is equally essential for your safety and ultimate satisfaction in getting inked. So there is no importance placed on the order in which the topics appear.
Health and safety is an area where there are many questions you’ll want answered. Don’t be afraid to be direct with your artist or studio owner when it comes to health and safety. Here are some suggestions:
Safety
#1. Ask to see the studios autoclave and sterilization certification.
#2. It is imperative the artist use new needles. Did you actually see the needles removed from a sterile bag? If the equipment is already opened and laid out, new equipment should be requested.
#3. Is your artist wearing gloves? And additionally, are the gloves being changed regularly?
Health
#1. Are you diabetic? If yes, you MUST consult your physician before proceding. If you’ve gotten the green light from your doctor be absolutely SURE you inform your artist about your diabetes.
#2. Do you have eczema? If you do, avoid getting tattooed in the affected area.
#3. Do you have psoriasis? People with psoriasis should think long and hard before getting tattooed. Any injury to the skin may (and I stress “may”) result in something called the Koebner effect. The Koebner effect basically means that an injury to a previously healthy patch of skin (say from a cat scratch or a shaving cut or a tattoo) can result in a new patch of psoriasis.
#4. Is there acne in the area you want to be tattooed? Wait for the area to heal before proceding
#5. Is there a mole in the area where you want the tattoo? Don’t do it. Find another spot. It will bleed. Profusely!
#6. Are you HIV positive? If you are, it’s a must you consult your physician before you get tattooed.
#7. Do you have Hepatitis C? If yes, ask your doctor if it’s okay before getting inked.
#8. Be sure to be totally up front with your artist about any of the conditions mentioned above. Although tattoo regulation varies by state, most states require licensing and facility inspection from a Department of Health Services as well as a blood borne pathogen training program requirement for tattoo artists.
Surveying the studio itself can give you a pretty good idea of whether to have your work done there or to bolt as quickly as possible to scout out another shop. Here’s what you should look for:
#1. Check the tattoo shop for general cleanliness as well as easily cleanable surfaces inside.
#2. There should be no animals in the establishment.
#3. Food or drink of any kind should not be evident.
#4. The artists station should be a sterile environment and should present itself as professional and as clean as a medical facility.
If you use these suggestions to form your own checklist, the chances are very good that you will be the proud, healthy owner of a beautiful new tattoo. Before you walk out the studio door, be sure to thank your artist, and please don’t forget to tip them. Show how much you appreciate their work and dedication. Refer your friends to them. When you go back for your next tattoo, you will have established a good relationship with your artist, and you can be assured they will be there to help you if you ever have any problems or questions in the future.
Oh yeah…by the way…one last thing…have you got the cash? Keep in mind…most good artists will charge around $100 to $150 per hour. Depending on the amount of detail in your design, even a medium sized tattoo may take several hours to complete. So be sure you can afford it…you certainly don’t want to end up with a half finished tattoo you’re gonna want to hide!

Eczema $58.94 Eczema is a disease in a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the epidermis. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes that are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. Areas of temporary skin discoloration may appear and are sometimes due to healed lesions, although scarring up is rare. In contrast to psoriasis, eczema is often likely to be found on the flexor aspect of joints.
