Facts about Tattoo
Tramps Stamps And Pregnancy
Leaving the social connotations of the so-called “tramp stamps” well alone, there is at least one
possible unforeseen drawback for women wishing to get a tattoo on their lower back. Some anesthesiologists have expressed concern that giving epidurals to pregnant women with tattoos may expose them to the potential complication of ink fragments entering the spinal cord. The risk would seem very minor, especially for a tattoo more than a few months old, but the possibility remains. Of greater concern, it has been reported that the iron oxide in tattoo ink sometimes reacts during MRIs and may cause burns.
Vegan Black Ink
The life of a dedicated vegan can be quite difficult. Outside of large, cosmopolitan cities, their menu
options can be extremely limited. Some, called “ethical vegans,” take it a step further, not only eliminating animal products from their diet, but refusing any product or lifestyle choice that stems from the exploitation of animals. This includes the wearing of leather, for instance, or the use of shampoo or cosmetics that have been tested on laboratory animals. It also means they would need to be very, very careful about where they get their tattoos. Although there are indeed vegan tattoo parlors, they are few and far between. Unfortunately, a lot of tattoo ink is made using bone char (burnt animal bones) and sometimes the resin of shellac beetles. Even if a vegan-friendly ink is secured, the soaps and ointments used to clean and treat the finished tattoo often contain animal by-products.
Cosmetic Tattoos
Not all tattoos are garishly designed to call attention to themselves: some are subtle marks of beauty.
There has been an huge upsurge in the trade of cosmetic tattoos, or permanent make-up. Such procedures include shading in brows, tracing the lips, and administering eyeliner. Of course, there are certain things that need to be taken into account. While you may save a boatload of money on cosmetics, your style can never change. And while they are “permanent,” touch-ups are required every few years to keep the tattoos looking their best. Should you eventually decide to reverse the procedure, removal can be an extremely delicate endeavor. It’s one thing to laser a badly drawn tiger from a bicep and another thing entirely to remove ink from an eyelid.Some cultures have been practicing facial tattoos for generations. The women of a Malian tribe tattoo their gums to show their age and marital status.
