More so than in the past, tattoos have risen in popularity. As most already know, a tattoo is a piece of art permanently applied to the skin. It might portray something such as a picture, symbol or phrase. The ink is applied to the skin by making small punctures in the outer layer of the skin and depositing the color. Ever since their introduction, tattoo guns have been the go-to device for tattoo application due to their efficiency and relative safety.
Thousands of times every minute, the tattoo gun makes tiny little piercings in the skin with an extremely fast-moving needle, or group of needles. Using such a device, an artist with sufficient skill can make very impressive designs. Conversely, picking a less experienced artist simply to save some money can end up being a very regrettable decision, as it can be very easy to mess up and leave you an eyesore of a tattoo that is difficult to remove.
Of the many models of tattoo guns that modern artists use, most of them have certain standard characteristics. The most common shared feature is the needle, which is very thin and sharp. A few variants have more than one needle. These multi-needle models can apply larger amounts of ink at a time, but aren't quite as precise as the single-needle versions. For health reasons, very strict sanitation guidelines must be followed in order to reduce the risk of a tattoo becoming infected. Needles should be carefully sanitized after every use and replaced regularly.
One area of the world of tattoos that receives a lot of stigma (perhaps rightly so) are jailhouse tattoos, which are amateur tattoos applied by prisoners in jails using makeshift equipment. The tattoo guns used in these situations are usually cobbled together from other parts. Without the health guidelines that tattoo parlors follow, jailhouse tattoos end up becoming infected more often than not. The imprecise nature of the improvised tools can cause much more trauma to the skin than a professional tattoo would. The needle usually ends up piercing deeper and tearing up the skin much more. Ink injected deeper into the skin than normal can greatly increase the risk of it becoming infected. Professional tattoo artists, doctors and your mother would all likely agree that you should steer clear of jailhouse tattoos.
When getting a tattoo, choosing the right color is an important choice. Most tattoo primarily use black and/or white, but there are a multitude of color options available. A good tattoo features complimentary colors that do not clash, and of course, an interesting, well-crafted design. Some designs follow the curves and shape of the body and these have the potential to look more interesting than other tattoos. However, peoples' weight tends to change as they age, so this can have the effect of deforming the tattoo.
Tattoos are a form of permanent body modification, and they can be an expensive and painful both to apply and remove. As such, it is highly important to think long and hard before making the decision of getting one. Many people who have gotten tattoos in their younger years end up regretting them later. Any tattoo-related decision should be carefully considered.
