Obviously there is some concern about getting a tattoo because when you get a tattoo
you risk getting an infection
pain and wonder about the possibilities of infectious diseases. The process needs to be better understood.

1. Can I Get Infectious Diseases From Tattoo Needles?

There has been some concern recently regarding transmittable diseases (particularly Hepatitis-B and AIDS [HIV]) and tattoo shops. Just as in a dentist's office
as long as the area is strictly sanitized
your chances for infection will be greatly reduced.

2. Can I Get Aids From Tattooing?

When needles are passed from IDU to IDU and reused without sterilization
some of that blood remains in the syringe and is passed on to the next user. If infected blood is passed
the recipient can become infected with HIV
which leads to AIDS.

Tattooing is VERY different from injecting drugs. The needles used in
tattooing are not hollow. They do
however
travel back and forth
through a hollow tube that acts as an ink reservoir. The tip of the tube is dipped into the ink
which draws a little into the tube.

3. Can My Tattoo's Get Infected?

Not as long as you take care of your new tat. There is a section in the Ebook that covers healing methods in depth. Some people have trouble healing tattoos with colors they are allergic to.


4. What Are Some Bad Things For My New Tattoo?

Once it is healed
there is very little that will screw up a tattoo. The one exception is prolonged exposure to sunlight. (the other is scarring
but that is patently obvious).

Well
unfortunately it is. The newer inks are better at resisting fading
but whatever you do
if you spend lots of time in bright sunlight your
tats will fade (over a lifetime
not over a week). Best to try and keep
them out of bright sunlight.

No one wants to become a cave dweller just to keep their tats looking good
so just use some common sense. Think of your tat as an investment--slather on that sunblock so it doesn't turn into a dark blob.

Tattoo art has become very popular and people are getting tattoo's for lots of reasons. Taking good steps in choosing the right tattoo
getting it applied properly and with the proper care is probably the most important things to consider when thinking about getting a tattoo. Read all you can about tattoo art safety and when you're ready to get your tattoo
you will feel much better about your decision!
