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.

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.
