Tattoo Removal

Despite a challenging US economy the tattoo industry is booming. The majority of people born between 1980 - 2000 ("Millennials") are the premier customer base. The tattoos themselves consist of virtually every type of subject matter imaginable, from ancient tribal patterns, to popular sports team logos. People receive tattoos of loved ones, important dates, symbols; even popular memes have crossed over from the internet onto human skin. Along with the recent influx of tattoo activity however, comes an inevitable percentage of people that regret some portion of the ink they received in the past.

Although the average tattoo removal may cost between $150-$500 per treatment, Inflicting Ink offers laser tattoo removal for as low as $60 per treatment.

Cosmetic Tattooing vs. Custom Tattooing

There are many options to consider when getting a tattoo. For most people, this merely involves the choice of what to get and where to get it. While for others, the decision isn't so much a question of what they'd like to have done, but what they should call it when looking for someone to help them.

In the world of tattoos there are different kinds of tattoos, as well as different uses for tattoos. For instance, there are tattoos that will help accident and scarred victims eliminate or minimize their scarring. These are in the family of medical tattoos. There are tattoos that will enhance your appearance in very subtle, permanent ways. These fall under the category of cosmetic tattoos. Then there are tattoos that are designed with you and your tattoo artist for a specific part of your body. These are called custom tattoos.

Medical tattooing is often done by specialized medical professionals in hospital environments. When talking about most tattoo studios, including Inflicting Ink, cosmetic and custom tattooing are the two categories from above that are most requested.

A cosmetic tattoo might be anything from eyebrow shading or eyeliner, to lip liner and beauty mark enhancement. Inflicting Ink employs professionally trained tattoo artists who are highly skilled in the art of cosmetic tattooing.

A custom tattoo may be something small and easily drawn, planned, and applied, or it can be something large and involved that will take many sessions to complete. Whatever custom tattoo you have in mind, the accomplished tattoo artists at Inflicting Ink Tattoo will be able to help.

Tattoo Healing vs. Tattoo Infection

You got a great new tattoo and now you have a list of aftercare tips for helping it to heal and look great for the rest of your life. You're following the rules and yet you still aren't sure if you're healing properly.

Here's how can you tell the difference between the normal healing of your tattoo and an infected tattoo.

During the first week of healing your new tattoo might be slightly swollen or mildly sore. Over the counter pain medication should be enough to control the discomfort. In comparison, an infection will be very swollen and red, and you will be in pain. You need to get to the doctor immediately if you experience any extreme pain or discomfort or large swelling at this point.

During the second week some flaking or peeling may occur and it might be itchy, scabbed, or dry. DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH IT. If your tattoo is growing more swollen, irritated, or painful, if you are noticing any odor, discharge, or sores, or if you have a fever, it's definitely time to get medical attention.

Finally by week three your tattoo should be well on its way to completely healed. It might be slightly sensitive, but any scabbing should be clearing up and your skin should be healing. By no means should you wait until this far into the healing process if you have any of the symptoms of an infection. A tattoo infection can be life-threatening and should be treated as a very serious medical emergency. Seek treatment right away if you suspect you have an infection.

And if you need help choosing a new tattoo, or clearing some real estate for new body art through laser tattoo removal, contact Inflicting Ink Tattoo in Portsmouth, RI at (401) 683-5680

Process of Cosmetic Tattooing

Similar to a standard Tattoo, Cosmetic Tattooing applies permanent pigment beneath the skin via a needle. Special training and techniques are necessary to better apply cosmetic tattoos, and the skills do differ slightly to those used when applying a standard tattoo.

You will want to be sure that you work with the artist to choose the best color and communicate exactly what you want done. Once you are comfortable with the decision, the artist will sketch a light overlay with a sterile surgical pen. When the overlay is complete the artist will cover the area with a topical anesthetic gel which will numb the skin and dramatically decrease any discomfort. The tattoo artist will then use a vibrating needle to apply the desired colors into the top layer of the skin.

Care of a Cosmetic Tattoo

Once the procedure is complete you will need to keep the area lightly covered and clean. Do not be alarmed if the area gets slightly swollen, or the color looks darker than the one you chose. It can take from 3 to 4 weeks for the color to fade into its permanent shade and the swelling is the natural reaction by the skin to the tattoo needle. Gently use a cold compress and some antibiotic ointment to reduce swelling and decrease the risk of infection.

As with any tattoo complications can develop. If you notice any dramatic changes or signs of infection, obtain medical assistance immediately.

Types of Cosmetic Tattooing

The tattoo industry has evolved substantially over the past 20 years, particularly in the areas of offering body modifications and laser tattoo removal services. Where a tattoo used to be a permanent addition to your body, it can now be completely removed. Where tattoos used to be primarily for men (stereotypically sailors of course), and used to be for the purpose of body art adornment alone, we are now able to have Cosmetic Tattooing done in areas such as eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner.

Eyebrow Cosmetic Tattoo

People interested in maintaining a certain, well-kept appearance pay close attention to the shape and color of their eyebrows. The eyebrows frame the eyes, so having a well-plucked pair can greatly increase attention to the eye area. Some people have extremely thin eyebrows that they are either born with or achieve through over-plucking or an accident of some kind. Still others may have areas within the eyebrow where hair does not grow. One method of dealing with thin or patchy eyebrows is Cosmetic Tattooing.

Lips

"Lipstick Bleed" is a term used by many women to describe the nuisance of lipstick smears that extend beyond the natural lip line. For those who would rather not deal with lipstick every day or simply want to add a certain shade or color, a cosmetic lip-liner tattoo may be the answer.

Post Surgery

Cosmetic Tattooing can benefit and enhance the appearance of a nipple after breast-reconstruction, reduce the appearance of certain scars from surgery, and improve other permanent surgical inconsistencies.

Communicate

Before deciding to get a cosmetic tattoo there are certain considerations and precautions that need to be taken. The first is knowing exactly what you want, and understanding that not all procedures are reversible. The second is checking your tattoo artist's credentials and the cleanliness of their shop. Read reviews, ask to speak with former clients, inspect the facility where the procedure will be done to ensure a clean, sterile, and safe environment.
