90% of tattooers do not understand the principles of tattooing, how much do you know?
First of all, let ’s talk about tattoo needles. Tattoo needles are tied together with many thin needles. Steel needles pierce the skin along the pattern. Then, each needle eye is covered with tattoo color before the color can enter the skin.
Tattoo machines are divided into traditional machines and motor machines. Which one to choose is mainly based on the personal habits of the tattoo artist. The motor machine is relatively convenient to cut the lines and use the same machine. The traditional machine will have a special cutting machine and fog machine, two techniques need to use two machines:
(1) "Sunshine" traditional machine
(2) "Legend" motor machine
(3) "Sunshine" motor machine.
The tattoo machine uses an electromagnetic coil to instantly generate suction and spray effects. With the reciprocating motion of the spring of the tattoo machine, the tattoo needle is driven to move up and down. The tattoo needle punctures the epidermis layer at a high speed and evenly, and the color material is implanted into the table. The dermis layer under the cortex allows the pigment to be permanently fixed to the epidermis, forming patterns and texts of various pigment combinations, and thus forming a tattoo. Most people know the process of tattooing, which is divided into two steps: "cutting line" and "flashing". , But often overlooked another very important procedure. It is called "planning". "Planning" is divided into two parts, one is for the design of the pattern, and the other is the understanding of the pattern. The tattoo artist often considers the continuity of the pattern. Let ’s talk about the cutting line. A good work must have a good composition, then it must have a correct cutting line, and many tattoo artists with inexperienced skills often appear, the cutting line is too shallow, too thin, or the line is dim, which is mostly Personal skills and technical problems, the angle between the tattoo machine and the skin when cutting the thread, the maximum angle is preferably not more than 20 degrees, if it exceeds it, it is easy to cause the line to be dizzy or not colored, and the needle should not be too deep. Generally 1-1.5 mm is the best, as for fogging is what we call coloring.
What are the specific methods of fogging? In fact, there is no specific way. Some people play heavy fog from the inside to the beginning with a heavier place, and a light fog at the end with a lighter color. Some people use a spiral method to spray the fog from the inside to the outside. Back and forth and gradually spread outwards. At the beginning, the focus is gradually to lighten the force, and it can also form a gradual fog. The way is countable. How to use it depends on the tattoo artist. The specific problem analyzes every inch of skin. All need to be taken seriously.
Principle of tattoo formation:
01, there are three layers of your skin
Epidermis / dermis / subcutaneous tissue
The epidermis is a waterproof layer to protect the skin
The dermis is full of connective tissue, glands and hair follicles
Subcutaneous tissue includes more connective tissue and fat
In short, this is junior high school biological knowledge, remember?
02 、 Tattoo from the epidermis to the dermis
The epidermis changes a lot, the dermis is more durable
What sun bath is too much skin burns, allergies, are all epidermal matters, so it is self-evident that the tattoo ink stays in the dermis layer for a long time.
It's time to see the essence through the phenomenon! ! !
03, body self-healing ability to protect tattoos spontaneously
After the ink enters the dermis, it quickly enters the self-healing process
Leukocytes quickly came to the location of the tattoo, accompanied by a large number of large phagocytes, they swallowed pigment and other judged invaders, and finally stabilized in the colloid formed in the dermis layer, through the dermis is the tattoo.
The human body is really great, the macrophage is really great, sacrifice yourself, stable and healthy!
04, the residual ink on the epidermis is then naturally washed away
Remember the big steps of tattoo healing mentioned before?
The first week can feel the surface of the crunchy skin, that is the natural healing process of the skin, listen to the master's words, take good care, skin care prevention, pay attention to the moment, enjoy your life.
This is how the transformation of an ugly duckling into a swan.
05, pigment cells continue to regenerate
New cells engulf old cells
Pigment is the cell where the tattoo is located, and it continually regenerates layers to engulf the old cells, so your tattoo always shines and renews its feeling, but over time, as the skin naturally ages and the sun will fade and fade.
To sum up: the tattoo is tied to the dermis layer, and the macrophages produced by the wound healing process protect the pigment. As the cells naturally regenerate the layers to coat the pigment cells, the tattoo is stabilized and baptized. Of course, this tattoo is long-lasting but not permanent. Yes, that's why there are complementary colors.
What are the precautions after tattooing?
1. Three to four hours after the tattoo is completed, wash the tattoo body with warm water, use bath liquid, then wipe dry with a sanitary towel, keep it dry, and wash it daily. Only showers are not allowed.
2. Do not apply any ointment other than tattoo ointment to avoid discoloration and destroy the overall beauty.
3. Do not swim, sauna, sunbathe or go to the sea before the tattoo body is healed.
4, 3 to 5 days, it is normal to show scabs, peeling, and itching. Do not tamper with the scabs. At this time, the body lotion can be used appropriately.
5. If the tattoo is on the joints or the parts that are easily stretched, it should be noted that the movement should not be too large to prevent the scab from cracking and affecting the future appearance.
6. I don't want to be behind the tattoo, I can't wash it immediately. You can wait for the wound to heal for a year before using the laser to wash it.
