Why You’re Tattoo Didn’t Come Out The Way You Planned

Tattooing is like any art form. There are days when no matter what you do, after following your training and procedures to the letter, the tattoo comes out perfect, and days when no matter what you do, you will follow your training and procedures to the letter, and the tattoo is not perfect.

Part of getting a tattoo, is understanding that tattoo artists are not machines. That no matter how much training and experience they have, there will be times when the tattoo, although just so, is not what your minds-eye had pictured as the result.

Another part of getting a tattoo, the part that most people don’t even bother doing, is the research part. Would you let a plastic surgeon you didn’t know, and whose work you had never seen or been referred to, cut into your body in any way? For that matter, most people take more time picking out a pair of jeans than deciding which tattoo artist and studio will meet their expectations and needs.

Before you sit down in that chair, make absolutely certain that you have examined the work of the artists; that you have at least ONE dependable reference from someone you personally know, and who has a tattoo that you have seen and admired from the artist; make sure that the artist’s style and technique are a perfect fit for the work you are asking them to do; and don’t bargain shop for your tattoo – pay the right price for the work you want done, and you will be very happy with your results.

Many people, because they are in a hurry, or because they think one tattoo artist is pretty much like any other, will ask an artist to do work that is not their specialty. While it is generally up to each artist to decide and inform their clientele when a piece of artwork is not something they are comfortable getting perfect, the burden for this decision unfortunately still falls squarely on the shoulders of the client.

If you don’t see the kind of work you want done in a particular artist’s portfolio, chances are they are not going to give you the results you want – keep looking, and find a tattoo artist whose skill and expertise are aligned with the artwork you want to put on your body. Don’t be the foolish angry customer who lets anyone give them a tattoo because the price is right and they happen to be the only artist available. Do your research before inking your skin – it’s permanent after all - and you only have yourself to blame if you don’t.

Laser Tattoo Removal at Inflicting Ink Tattoo

Laser tattoo removal works upon the ink, not the skin. The pigment in your tattoo ink absorbs the light from the laser, and much in the same way that dark colors absorb more sunlight, dark tattoo ink colors absorb more laser light as well. The laser pulse only lasts for a fraction of a second. During that time, the light passes through your skin, and targets the ink directly, disrupting it, and allowing it to flow freely into your body where it is naturally absorbed and broken down by your immune system.

The feeling of having a tattoo removed has been described alternately as close to the very same feeling as getting a tattoo, or a sharp stinging not unlike the snap from an elastic. The difference being that new laser tattoo removal technology allows the process to take less time. A topical anesthetic is often applied, and many treatment centers have a cooling system that makes the heat from the laser less noticeable.

Some of the factors that can influence the ways in which your particular tattoo reacts to laser removal treatments are the types of inks and colors of inks used, your skin tone, your immune system, and how deep the tattoo reaches into the layers of skin.

Underage Body Piercing of Children in Foreign Countries

Remarkably, as lax as some of our laws here in the States are about tattoo licensing, body piercing, and underage tattooing, in other countries the situation is far more dire.

For example, in Australia, there are virtually no laws whatsoever governing body piercing. Consequently, anyone in Australia, regardless of age or parental consent, can have their body pierced anywhere on the body that is not intimate.

An article concerning this startling practice, as well as the rush for legislation to be passed that would place body piercing along-side tattooing in terms of licensing and age restrictions, follows below in its entirety.



Child piercing chill prompts shake-up

January 01, 2011

A SURGE in extreme piercing of children without their parents' knowledge has sparked a cry for urgent changes in the law.

Children as young as 11 are nudging towards body modification practices once reserved for hardcore punks.

There are no laws in Queensland outlawing the piercing of young children, except in genitals. Yet, tattooing, on anyone under 18 is illegal.

The growing demand for more permanent body jewellery in the form of transdermal implants, which can only be removed surgically, has fuelled calls for legislative action.

These are implanted deep in the body tissue, most commonly on the sternum, back, forehead, back of legs, stomach.

The Deputy Premier and Minister for Health Paul Lucas said he intended to take a submission to Cabinet in the New Year.

"I share the concerns of parents when it comes to body piercing and minors," he said.

"I'm not talking about piercings such as simple earrings or studs in ears, but the sort of piercings that can permanently damage children's faces or other body parts.

"If that sort of body decoration is something people want to do, then I see no reason why they can't wait until they are 18 to do it on an informed basis.

"It is for this reason that I have asked Queensland Health to investigate legislative options for prohibiting the non-intimate piercings of minors."

The Australian Medical Association Queensland is backing the shake-up.

AMAQ president Gino Pecoraro said the laws for piercing should be the same as tattooing.

"Parents should be taking these people up on assault charges," he said.

He said microdermal anchors amounted to surgical procedures and "should not be carried out by anyone not fully qualified and certainly should never ever be carried out on a minor".

"If they become infected ... and left untreated, an infection runs the risk of bacteria getting into the blood and can be very dangerous to the heart," Dr Pecoraro said.

Also backing the plea for new laws is Brisbane body piercer Ben Thorsen, of Spring Hill.

"Microdermal anchors are in big demand and, basically, they go in but they don't come out," Mr Thorsen said.

"I can tell you that it takes years of training to do this kind of thing safely and I'm scared that children are going to people who are just not experienced."

Sunshine Coast schoolgirl Max Lamb, 15, has 21 piercings and is proud of every one.

"I have always gone to piercing shops that have a good reputation and they all have insisted on my mum giving permission," she said.

Tanya Lamb, said she supported her daughter's love of piercings.

"I would be horrified if someone pierced my child without me knowing," she said.

Be Informed Before You Get Pierced

The prevalence of all manner of body piercings has made much more than simple ear piercings main-stream and acceptable. There are however, some very important guidelines and facts that must be considered prior to any form of body piercing in general.

First and foremost, if you are a person who is prone to infection, then body piercing is probably not a great idea for you. Some people even develop scarring for simple ear piercings. If this describes you, please consult your physician prior to considering any kind of body piercing at all, and even if you are not prone to infection, a simple consultation with your doctor before attempting a body piercing is a good idea regardless.

With that being said, the majority of body piercings are performed in sterile facilities by trained professionals with virtually no complications of any kind. It is of great benefit to at least have an idea of some of the things that can go wrong with some very common piercing sites on the human body before moving forward with your own however.

According to doctors who treat the infections common after body piercings, the site most effected by infection occurs in women who have had nipple piercings. The nipple area is the main point of access and egress to the mammary ducts. Errors in communication can occur between these ducts and a pierced nipple, to the degree that women can experience breast infections in the form of a painful breast abscess that can happen at any time, even after the piercing has been removed for months or years. Surgery may be required to remove the duct and some breast tissue, or the infection can even leave the breast deformed.

A second high risk area for body piercings can occur in the tongue and lip area. Aside from the obvious infection and healing issues, a commonly misinformed side-effect has to do with oral hygiene and dental complications due to reactions in the mouth and teeth to the metal used in the jewelry in these kinds of piercings.

As with all body piercings, strict hygiene and after-care can easily prevent many kinds of infections and serious side-effects. Research tattoo studios in your area and choose wisely from those that are licensed, sterile facilities only and who employ the highest quality, licensed tattoo artists trained in sterile procedures and patient after-care.
