Why some older tattoos do appears pale green?
Indeed, in some people may see such pale tattoos that appear green or bluish. Causes for this may be more, but the main are non-quality colorant and an amateur production at the incorrect depth. Usually, such a tattoo is made to-deep, therefore over time, the colors in the skin alter and make pale, greenish appearance.

In the modern, professional-quality dyes and the manufacture of tattoos you have the potential chance of change the color of the tattoo very small, especially if you take care of tattoo and do not expose it to the sun.

Tattooed body must be beautiful, powerful ...
Yeah right. Who says?
... because the tattoo is even more beautiful, if it covers beautifully shaped muscle.
I do not know why tattoos should also be associated with the external appearance of the body. It is true that is a pleasure to see a nice tattoo. True also is, that sports and built body most people like it. However, the other one does not necessarily have any direct link, and the tattoo is not a subject only for muscles body (I have heard, for example: 'I would have done tattoo, but I must previously to built-up', which is complete nonsense).

Tattoo-Entirely Your Choice

If someone has a high quality, visually interesting and beautiful tattoos, OK. If there is a nice visual muscle, right, but tattoos are beautiful in themselves, regardless of what the body cover. Remember: the muscles can be done with exercise, also can increasing and zooming. Your body can be largely recast, as we want it more or less care. In addition, the appearance of the body subject to the heredity, and sometimes it does not affect more than that to a certain extent. The body is through a person's life is constantly changing. Tattoos are eternal and are entirely your choice and your decision.

Tattoo-Peeling skin advice

What if the skin peels?
Again, this is totally normal (especially if with the paint is covered or filled larger area), whereas the top layer of skin cells restores. However, left alone tattoo: do not scratch, don’t peel pieces of the epidermis and do not make you 'rolls' from peeled skin cells!
When I know that the tattoo is healed?
When tattoo no more peels, when the skin is not sensitive to the touch, the surface is smooth and has healthy appearance; tattoo may be a little gentler, because it was covered with new, soft epidermis.

Tattoo Protection

What then, when the tattoo is fully healed?
Yeah, here, these left to your own habits, desires and belief. Remember, however, that long-term and excessive exposure to sun will cause the tattoo (by years) faded.
Otherwise (especially in recent decades, when the ozone layer is already heavily degraded) sunscreen for your skin is not the best. In the last century ruled and aesthetic beliefs that tan skin is beautiful skin. Tan skin is nothing but a body natural reaction to the solar shock, so that under the skin forming a number of dyes (melanin). That protects the deeper layers of the destructive UV rays.
On darker skin (tan, or naturally dark, for example, black people) are tattoo less familiar. If you want tattoo to be a nice identifiable, reflecting the contrast in the skin, and if you want to remain unchanged, fresh paint and live until the end of life, then sunbathing is not easy. I am not suggesting that you got fanatically avoided (in the skin is due to the sun form a useful vitamins, the sun also has a beneficial effect on the organism) - but use common sense and sober assessment.

The expression of belonging, a desire for leaving...? However, tattooing is very popular among people, the stars are also happy to reveal their tattoos.

Traditional Tattoo Styles

Pirate Skull Tattoo

Tattoo should be interesting, carefully reasoned design with particularly deep symbolic meaning.
Not necessarily, no. As I said, tattooing is not (more) only sign of belonging to any social, religious or ideological group, but simply decorating the body and is now actually more associated with a fashion trend. If the tattoo represents a puppy (because you just picked that) represents the puppy. If this is an abstract pattern, then there is the result of the most aesthetic effect, and the like.
Sure, there are special traditional tattoo styles that have evolved over the centuries. Mostly, however tattoos represent a concrete, living motive: tiger, Scorpio, ship, soldier, devil, or say with a knife pierced bleeding skull ...
You can attribute the tattoo deeper meaning, or identifies in this way that you personalized set design - if you have tattoo of a Lion, you may think you are brave as a lion, and the like. This is perfectly acceptable and normal, but it is not necessary. All tattoos do not have a hidden, higher, or any deeper meaning.

The most stupid tattoos

Tattooing has long been such a trend, as well as a taboo. Many people decide for it, that celebrated the event, turning point in life, others decide for tattoo because of their role models and idols ... Reasons and motives is much as the extent of people!

The most stupid tattoos

Those who do not have tattoo relate this art with pain, some even with masochism and cripplers of body.
Some really do not think before they decide to mark their body - and this permanently. I am talking of course about a tattoo.

People in the photographs from the collection of the most stupid tattoos probably not heard of experts on such things, saying that it is necessary, before we do a crucial step, consider the well-motif, which we will monitor the entire life, as well as select the appropriate place for it.

Tattoo Repair

So a tattoo always remains exactly the same?
All things changes, including skin, subcutaneous tissue and colors in it, when the cells are restored. A tattoo is a number (10, 20 and more) years, perhaps a little plain or lines will be barely detectable more blurred, but not to much. Black colors are in this context more persistent or remain stable in the long term as a color. If you after many years want more intense color, you can get tattoo 'refresh' and re-paint or repair.

Tattoo Care

Should I have wrapped tattooed place?
No. Similar to sunburn the skin will recover sooner and better, if in the air, if the 'respiratory system'. Also, do not bear too tight clothing, some strange and plasticized synthetic T-shirts, etc... but light, air, comfortable clothing.
Given care to tattoo or procedures for their healing through a number of different opinions and theories. The method described here is tested, the most recommended, and the acting is at least bitch or painful.
Some traditional forms of tattooing in the history ( Chinese, etc...) found that the tattooed place should be wrapped, others that it should be completely dry, without any ointments, third again, it should have enough moisture, and so on. Why would you experiment in your own skin and testing some assumptions?

Basic Care of Tattoo

Like this: at least a week is not advisable to swim in the pool (especially chlorine, and it is the most swimming pools), avoid the hot rooms, sauna, gym and fitness club, not expose tattoo in direct sunlight because the skin is very sensitive, until the tattoo is not healed completely, watch the dust, dirt, shock, and touch, etc..
Tattoos are healing, as said, from one to two weeks (depending on your skin, an area the size of tattoo etc.)... During this time the skin is a little more touch sensitive (like, as if this example burning the sun), but not hurt, does not usually itching and is also no other side effects.

If you get any reaction, excessive redness, which lasted several days, if this pain or itching in a very similar, go after the advice back to tattoo artist and immediately thereafter to the doctor! This is for your skin (literally), so do not...
Most likely you will get orders from tattoo artist that the day after the tattooing come back to him again to review (and possibly again later, when fully healed). If the next day is everything all right (that you will be told), then there is no worry that something went wrong.

Proper Care of Tattoo

New Tattoo at least for a week or even even better, 10-14 days (or until it is clearly and definitely healed) 2-4 times a day wash with lukewarm water and neutral soap (or such, which does not irritate the skin), and approximately 3 -- 5 times a day lubricate with ointment (after each washing, or even in between). Do this with feeling and need, a prescription is simple: the tattoo should be kept slightly greasy (not too), the skin can therefore never be completely drained.
On the other hand, too much moisture is not good, so caution in swimming in the bath (shower is - otherwise - better). Tattoo not irrigates and not too watering abundant with water, what will not harm the drop, too much water and soap is not good. Bathing and swimming in the pool, at least the first few days, strictly off!

Creams for Tattoo

Bepanthen ointment is (at least for us) by far the most recommended, and certainly you can get in any pharmacy, not expensive. Otherwise, consult with a pharmacist if they have something (such as Neosporin, Noxema, Bacitracin, etc.)... A petrolatum-based ointment is useful in an emergency, not the best, but it is good in principle everything that applies to the care of children delicate skin. Mandatory however, avoid some strange oil, after-sun creams and similar - this ointment and oils usually have a whole pile of materials yet (eg for a pleasant odor or flavor, or for better lubrication, and UV protection factor), which are in this case is unnecessary and undesirable.
