Tattoo Blowout
Alongside with all the advantages and all temptations tattoos offer, one should remember that tattooing is a painful procedure that can have unpredictable aftereffects. One of them is a “blur” effect called also tattoo blowout.
A great many of people now complain about the ink that has bled into the skin near the tattoo and caused a halo-like effect, or smoky effect around large black areas. This imight not be tattoo blowout as we all know that when the ink is healing, the body absorbs and flushes out the medium that’s why small ink particles may float around the tattoo.
Blowout is another thing. Sometimes the needle goes too deeply into the skin and the ink can spread by capillaries into neighboring tissue causing a blurry halo around the main lines. It happens usually by a too heavy-handed tattoo artist, or if the machine lets needles go into the skin slanted. Some body parts with especially gentle skin and fatty areas are more vulnerable to tattoo blow-out.
People say that all you need is an experienced tattoo artist with a good hand and quality inks and it won’t happen. And that providing excellent aftercare, your tattoos will hold up well over time. But still it happens and one should take measures.
It’s vital to say that tattoo blowout does not fade out itself. You should talk to a tattooist to find out the solution for your tattoo problem. They usually offer to redo the lines with minor changes in them to improve the overall image. Your tattoo artist can fix those problematic lines even free of charge.
After healing you should to your best to tale care of your tattoo, for the end result will depend on you. You should try to keep the skin safe from moving, pulling or stretching, especially during the first seven days. And don’t forget about proper cleaning and lotion.
Tattoo Care: You Have To Care Before Getting It Too!
We all know how important tattoo aftercare is, but what about BEFOREcare? Choose a wrong artist, have a tattoo done in unproper conditions, with unsterile pins and by a drunk artist and you will be #*cked up for life.
The only way to tell whether an artist is good or not is to see examples of his or her work. Recommendations are helpful, of course, but the recommendations should carry infinitely more weight if the recommender is proffering a tattooed example of the artist’s work. There are plenty of awesome artists out there who, though you wouldn’t deny their skills, just don’t appeal to you with the style of tats they do. So don’t take anyone else’s word for it – get a look at the artist’s work yourself. Furthermore, and don’t start thinking we’re paranoid, but it’s best to see actual examples of the work on a live person who can tell you who did the work. Anyone can put up a bunch of pictures and claim authorship.
I bet you don’t want to get one of these:
You can meet people and talk to them about their tattoos at tattoo conventions, in the tattoo studios you visit and on the street or at a club, so long as you’re not an idiot about it. People are usually proud of their tattoos, and if you seem genuinely interested a lot of people will be happy to tell you about their ink. Tattoo magazines are also a good source for information. The photo-essays they publish about various artists are likely to be well-researched and legitimate examples of the artists’ work. The key is to shop around and find someone really capable, because the quality of your tattoo depends so much on the talent of the tattoo artist.
Also remember that despite the fact that infection from tattooing in clean and modern tattoo studios employing single-use needles is rare, in amateur tattoos, however, there is an elevated risk:
Remember that it is always better to pay extra 20 bucks for quality and safe tatt rather than later on pay for the removal, being depressed about it or even have to visit a doctor and spend a fortune on treatment.
Be proud of your good tattoos, get safe new ones and take care!

1. First moment is the period of skin adhesion, as it is the period on which your tattoo’s further lifetime depends.

2. Clean the image and put a thin coating of some tattoo aftercare ointment (INKFIXX® or TAT WAX® for example), wrap it around with cellophane and leave for 12 hours (this is usually done by a tattooist).
3. Remove the cellophane and clean the image with cold water with antimicrobial soap. Make sure your hands are clean too.
4. During the next week anoint the tattooed place 3 or 4 times a day, without wrapping with cellophane. Use the ointment wisely, make sure your tattoo “breathes”, this will prevent the pigments from discoloration.
5. Warning! During the adhesion period try to avoid:
- suntanning
- taking hot baths
- going to high temperature saunas
- overperspiration
- scratching your tattoo
- wearing wool and fitted clothes
Follow these simple tips and you’ll enjoy your tattoo for a long time!
What Everybody Should Know About The Proper Care For A New Tattoo
Tattoo – this is a body ornament, made by the skin puncturing and coloring.
The styles of modern painting and design can be conventionally divided into the following directions;
• Traditional tattoo; military, clannish (serves to indicate the belonging to a particular group), memorable (a portrait, family members’ images, certain people), professional, patriotic and so on and so forth. Including accompanying inscriptions.
• Ethnic tattoo – this one is base on the fine arts and ornamental culture of the world’s peoples.
• Oriental – is based on the traditional Chinese and Japanese tattoos.
• Flora and fauna.
• Biomechanical - cyber-punk, or a new school found by G.R. Giger.
• All sorts of styles, tendencies, inscriptions, signs, symbols – this depends on the tattoo master and the collector fantasy.
Remember to pay right attention to the process of regeneration. Irregular care (or it absence) may lead to inflation, which is undesirable itself and can influence the result as well: Chinese or Indian ink fades, disappear, by the way the master will see at once how his work regenerated. Ink producers may give a warranty of brightness for 15 years, but every one should remember that ink on the skin is an organic dye subjected to the fading on the sun, and remember to take proper care of a new tattoo – bathing, do not forget to protect your tattoo with special creams.
As soon as the tattoo is done a special compress is made for 12-24 hours. When it’s removed a special and important moment comes – proper care of a new tattoo. It’s important not just to make but to save it and this is your trouble however. The term of any tattoo closing up is about 7-10 days.
These days you should avoid:
• Water your tattoo
• Steam it out (in the sauna)
• Scratch it
• Rub it with alcohol-containing solution
• Watch the tattoo not to dry up and cover ( the master will recommend you special creams and the ways they should be used)
• Go to solarium
• Dirt the tattoo (dust for example)
• Go to the gym
• Before and after the very process of making the tattoo it’s forbidden to drink alcohol, coffee or any energy drinks
• Drugs are strictly forbidden
In Thailand for example tattoos do serve not only for mere decoration. This is a serious business. Many people here believe that tattoos may give them special power- something from being more attractive to being more powerful and even harmless. You should also look after your tattoo very carefully and with proper respect, as thoroughly as you will take care of an amulet. For the tattoo to bring about more power you should choose properly both the tattoo master and an ornament.
