Does it hurt?
To understand what getting a tattoo means, we have to in the beginning take a quick look at a small part of the human anatomy. The skin is made up of two layers; the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin; the part we can understand and touch. The dermis is the deeper layer, or secondary layer.

When a tattoo is applied, the ink is injected deep into the dermis. As the epidermis sheds an giant amount of cells every day, the dermis is a much more appropriate place to inject ink. Otherwise, shedding occurs causing the tattoo to be only temporary. When injected into the dermis, the tattoo's ink lasts a lifetime.

The method of creating a tattoo's has not altered much since the start. It is supposed that designs were created in the skin using piercing pieces of bone in the distant ancient history. Today, needles supply the ink into the dermis. These needles can supply up to 30,000 punctures per minute.

Tattoo's are made by a process related to stippling. A progression of dots creates the image of the design. More dots closer together creates a darker or more solid in appearance picture. Spread apart, the dots make a lighter image or a shading effect.

The tattoo machine that the artist uses to create the design consists of three major parts. An ink source that contains the special ink of the chosen color is typically connected to the machine. A tube connects the ink source to the machine. The needle is the part of the piece of equipment that pierces the skin administering the ink.

Most tattoo artists use single use or disposable needles. Sterilization is one of the most critical things with tattoo art. These needles should always be completely sterilized prior to being used on a person. Needles are then discarded after use.

The tattoo ink comes in a extensive array of colors. Virtually any design with any color combination can be shaped. Tattoo artists and parlors have samples on demonstrate but can always vary aspects of a design to fit an individual's preference.

With the chosen design and color choice, the tattoo machine with selected needle type and the decided location on the body, the tattoo is administered by puncturing the skin while the ink is injected. The time frame that it takes to get a tattoo varies depending on the intricacy
and size of the design.

Pain can be a part of the experience. However, it isn't often as bad as anticipated. Many people with tattoo's express the procedure as bothersome more than painful. Many times the most uncomfortable part is having to sit still in the same stance for the given length of time.

After care is an central part of the tattoo process. Bandaging will be crucial, some bleeding may occur and concern will need to be taken to reduce exposure to sunlight and excessive water. Rubbing and scratching the newly created tattoo can cause scaring. It can also cause the image to distort permanently.

Pain can vary depending on the individual's pain tolerance. Where the tattoo's will be applied on the body can also be a variable in the amount of pain. Overall, the process is quite quick and painless when compared to the end effect.
