We all know how the outbreak of this pandemic is affecting our day-to-day life. We are forced to restrict ourselves to do what we really want to do completely. But we can still consider some very strict guidelines and give our life an artistic freedom right?
There seem to be many questions about the risk and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tattoo artists are at a medium exposure risk to get COVID-19 as they handle body fluids, blood and are near to people. There are high risks for both the clients and tattoo artists. So, there are few notable tips that tattoo artists and clients must follow to stay safe from COVID-19 such as:
1. Strict Appointment System Strict appointments must be followed. The clients must be asked a few questions before visiting the tattoo studio asking them about having any COVID-19 symptoms in the last few weeks and ask if they have been in any situations recently that may have raised their risk, like travelling or protesting. The appointments must be scheduled in a way that only limited people are in the studio.
2. Wear masks and gloves all the time Wearing masks and gloves are very important as the most common ways to spread transmission is through close contact between people. The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. You can also get infected by touching contaminated surfaces. So, it is always important to wear gloves and a mask as they add an extra layer of protection.
3. Washing and sanitizing hands regularly after touching objects and surfaces The objects or surfaces which are likely to carry infections such as tables, doorknobs and handrails which is why washing hands regularly with soap and applying hand sanitizer thoroughly is very essential. The temperature must also be taken with the touchless thermometer before entering the studio.
4. High standard of cleanliness in workplace Client’s safety has always been the number one priority in tattooing and body piercings. It is very important to clean the machines and workplace tools to prevent cross contamination. Tattoo studios must maintain a high standard of cleanliness by disinfecting the high traffic areas regularly. Household cleaners and bleachers are effective in sanitizing the equipment and not to forget cleaning the electronics as well. Adding wipe-able covers to cellphones tablets can be very effective.
If you have to get a Tattoo during this COVID-19 pandemic, with these measures in mind We hope you get your perfect tattoo without risking yourself and others. Thank you.
These are the questions that a lot of people who want to get a tattoo to their artists. Followed by another question of “Why such high price for a small piece of Tattoo? It should be a lot cheaper”. Here we try to give you an answer to these questions.
Note* Please note that everything we are going to write here will differ slightly from one studio to another. Rates also will be different depending on the artist and country.This is only to give you a general idea why your artist is not necessarily trying to rip you off by charging you what they charge.
How much does a Tattoo Cost?
Tattoo artist charges
Some artists charge by the hour, some will charge by the piece. These days hourly charge is more popular.
Tattoo artists set their prices according to their skills, quality of work, and their experience.
This is why you should not shop around for the best price, but the best quality. It is definitely better to wait until you can afford to pay for a quality service from an experienced artist whose work you love instead of bargaining over prices.
It’s the same with plastic surgeons, the best ones charge the most because when it comes to your body and health you don’t want to go cheap, you are investing in yourself.
But please don’t assume every artist that charges a lot is good!
Tattoo Artists are professionals
Why is it so Expensive?
Usually, the deal in tattoo studios is that tattoo artists share some of what they earn with the studio to cover for the overheads – rent, cleaning, tax, bills, etc.
There is a minimum charge for any tattoo as a lot of preparation, time and equipment are required for any tattoo even if it is a small one.
An artist needs to prepare the designs (even if it’s small and simple it still needs to be fixed, changed a bit, or redrawn)
The design needs to printed, stencil needs to be prepared.
It usually takes about 30min before artist can start tattooing
A lot of products need to be prepared and purchased– ink, power supply, tattoo machines, needles, disposable tubes, cleaning products, gloves, paper towels, etc. All of these cost a lot!
Then comes the huge time and effort that is put in to your tattoo by the artists. Years of experience and hours of hard work make your tattoo look good.
Tattoo artists do interfere with human bodies and their insurance is the same as the doctors insurance, that does cost quite a lot of money.
Of course, the bigger / more detailed tattoo the more preparation and tattooing time, as well as products and equipment are needed.
As you can see it is not as much as you thought that they make for the work that requires so much responsibility, experience, knowledge and precision.
So always believe in your tattoo artists and make sure you support them as well. After all, it’s better to pay a little more than being end up with some thing that you will want to get removed (which will cost you a whole lot of more money).

Taking proper care of a fresh tattoo isn’t hard, but there
are ways to do it wrong. While you can do most of the same activities that you
would normally do right after getting a new tattoo, there are some things you
need to avoid. It takes about 3-4 weeks for a tattoo to fully heal, so until
then, these are 12 things you need to avoid.
Water
This doesn’t mean you can’t shower for a month while your
tattoo is healing, but it does mean that you need to keep an eye on how much
moisture is getting into your fresh ink. “Two weeks is typically the minimum
before you should soak a new tattoo”, says Philip, a tattoo artist out of
Toronto. Showering and washing it in the shower is fine, provided you don’t let
it fully submerge for more than a few seconds while you rinse.
Avoid swimming altogether for a few weeks while you have
fresh ink. Chemically treated water like pools aren’t good for your tattoo, and
natural bodies of water are even worse. Lakes and oceans are full of all kinds
bacteria and amoebas that can get into the tattooed area and cause potentially
serious infections. Avoid any risky business while your tattoo is healing by
not going swimming.
Direct Sunlight
Letting direct sunlight get to your fresh tattoo can
seriously damage the effect you’re going for with the ink. You’re risking the
tattoo becoming bleached and fading, and it could blister if the area gets too
much sun for too long. Once the healing process is coming along, and your scabs
have come off, always apply sunscreen to your tattoos before going out into the
sun. It helps them last longer and prevents premature fading.
Removing the Wrapping Too Soon
Whatever wrapping your tattoo artists puts over your fresh
ink, it’s there for a good reason! They’re sealing it to keep out any bacteria
or airborne particles that could get into the fresh wound – remember, your new
tattoo is essentially hundreds of tiny puncture marks, so you want to keep that
protected for the first few hours.
The time you need to keep it on for varies, so listen to
what your artist tells you. Generally, it’s considered a good idea to keep the
wrapping on for at least 2 hours, but some artists will advise longer.
Re wrapping Your Tattoo
Once you’ve taken the wrapping off of your tattoo, it’s
officially ready to breathe, so there’s no need to rewrap it again. At this
point, you want your tattoo to stay mostly dry, and adding plastic to it will
trap in heat and create too much moisture. Too much dampness in the area can
lead to bacteria growth, and that’s the last thing you want on a fresh tattoo.
Excessive Sweating
Sweating too much in the first 2-3 weeks after getting a
tattoo is a no-no, so if you’re into saunas or intense workouts, take a break
for a couple weeks. Again, excessive moisture on a healing tattoo isn’t good,
and sweat counts. You’re obviously going to sweat to some degree, you’re only
human, but avoid activities that make you so sweaty you feel like you need to
jump into water to cool off.
Picking Your Scabs
Picking scabs is something you shouldn’t be doing no matter
what kind of wound you have, but especially avoid picking at the ones on your
tattoo. As part of the healing process, the inked area will form some light
scabbing, and you need to leave these be. The scabbed parts will fall off on
their own, so expect to find little black bits everywhere for a couple of days
while it sheds. Picking them off will absolutely not speed up the healing
process, and could even end up prolonging the process altogether.
Using Medicated Ointments
Applying poly or Neosporin might seem like a logical idea,
but these are products that you actually want to avoid putting on your fresh
ink. The reason for this is that these ointments do their jobs too well, so you
tattoo might heal too quickly.
Having a fast healing tattoo might, again, seem like a good
thing, but the zinc and other products in this ointment actually take the ink
out of your skin, and keep it on the surface of your skin. Your tattoo will
fade if this happens, so steer clear of medicated ointments for your tattoo.
Shaving
This doesn’t apply to everyone, and very much depends on
where you get your ink. If your fresh tattoo is in an area where you would
normally shave, like your armpits, legs, scalp, or face, hold off until it’s
fully healed. Yes, ladies, this might mean you’re going Amazonian for about a
month, so plan ahead if you require smoothness at all times.
Running a sharp razor over a fresh tattoo isn’t a good idea.
Aside from scraping over a fresh wound, it could strip off any healing scabs
you’re getting before they’re ready to come off. Once your scabs have naturally
come off, and you’re 3-4 weeks into the healing process, depending on the size
and placement of your tattoo, you should be okay to start shaving again.
Using Scented Soaps
Avoid any and all scented soaps for cleaning your fresh
tattoo. Fragrance can irritate the sensitive area of your new tattoo. Use only
unscented, antibacterial soaps on the area for the first few weeks to keep it
clean.
For larger pieces you’ll need to wait closer to a week
before you reduce how frequently you wash your tattoo in a day, but smaller
piece should stop showing immediate healing effects much sooner.
Wearing Tight Clothing
Don’t wear anything too tight over the freshly tattooed
area. You want your tattoo to be able to breathe and get air, and it can’t do
that if it’s smothered by tight fabric. You even run the risk of creating
moisture through sweat, depending on the type of material you’re wearing.
Choose loose, flowy clothes to cover your fresh ink for the first couple of
weeks with your new tattoo. Breathable fabrics like cotton are even more ideal.
Scratching
Healing tattoos are itchy as hell, but you need to resist
the urge to scratch! As satisfying as it may feel, scratching your healing
tattoo is a terrible idea. You could scratch off your scabs too soon, not to
mention the potential bacteria that’s under your fingernails and on your hands.
This is one itch you must not scratch!
Over Moisturizing
Moisturizing your tattoo is an extremely important part of
the healing process, but you don’t want to overdo it. A thin layer of
moisturizer a few times a day is perfect – anymore could be too much. If your
tattoo has too much moisturizer, it has too much moisture, which could harbor
and grow bacteria. Keep it light on the creams and your tattoo will be in good
shape.
If you can manage to avoid those 12 things while your tattoo
is healing, you’re guaranteed to have a longer lasting, healthy tattoo for
life. Have you been given any odd tattoo aftercare advice? Let us know in the
