Cosmetic Tattoos

Permanent make-up can either be one of the best treats you give to yourself, or an experience that leaves you wishing you never did it.

There are several important conditions and criteria to consider when making the decision to have cosmetic tattooing done anywhere on your body.

Cosmetic tattoos differ from artistic tattoos in that they are predominantly used by women for the purpose of simplifying their beauty routine, or in the case of accident victims, attempting to redefine their lips and brows or cover and blend scarring.

Some of the most important questions you need to ask before you decide where to get your tattoo work done concern the studio's reputation and sterile practices. This one question alone will give you enough information to decide if the shop is right for you. Basically, you want to make sure that the tattoo shop is licensed, that all the artists are licensed, and that they use sterile practices to prevent cross-contamination from blood-born pathogens and other related germs.

Because many viruses can live on unsterilized surfaces for time periods ranging from hours to days, it is extremely important that not only the equipment is sterilized using an autoclave, but the surfaces, chairs, and surrounding areas are cleaned before and after each client with sterilizing cleaners.

The second criteria to consider, is the skill of the artist who will do your tattoo work. Unlike artistic tattoos, where there is even small room for minor mistakes to be integrated into the artwork as though they don't exist, having cosmetic tattooing done offers no such protections. If the artist makes a mistake, it will be something you will have to live with, and that you will very likely not be able to cover-up or eliminate them unless you then have tattoo removal performed on the affected area.

Jeff Goyette Bio

Jeff Goyette was born and raised in Massachusetts where tattooing was illegal, and to this day is only allowed on a per community basis, with each community deciding for themselves whether to allow it or not. Jeff still wanted to be a tattoo artist, and so learned his trade and took it on the road with the tattoo tour where he continued his tattoo education through coursework and tour experience.

In 1993 Jeff opened Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio in Portsmouth RI as a way to get out of touring and establish some roots in the community. He has been in this location for 17 years. After a few years in the shop however, he wanted to use his traveling experience to be able to bring tattooing to people who might not have the chance to get to a brick-and-mortar shop.

So he built the Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo truck, over 73 feet of truck housing a state of the art, sterile, mobile tattoo facility ~ there is nothing else like it on the planet, literally, as the Guiness Book of World Records has named it the largest tattoo facility in the world, but simply has no category to place it in.

The truck travels to fairs, events, concerts, and even does private parties, drawing large crowds and those who do not have access to a local tattoo studio for their body art. Jeff loves when he can give back to a community, and often simply brings the truck to draw in numbers at charity events whenever possible, whether any tattooing will be done or not.

He and his artists model their work on the belief that a customer should always feel that they have received a quality piece of art, that the work is consistent, and that they can be proud of their tattoo as well as where it came from.
