By: Daniel Les




Did you know any of the first few full-bodied tattooed persons?There are brave people who had their full body tattoo transformation. Usually, those who chose to transform their body were driven by popularity, previewed success and money. The Great Omi, a typical British citizen who originally named Horace Ridler was one of the known full-bodied tattooed individuals. Ridler chose to be in show business and he intent to become a sideshow attraction, hence in 1922 he had totally transformed his body. Wide black even animal-like stripes were tattooed all over the body of Ridler. His tattoos were his passport to success in the field of show business. Leopard spots were entirely tattooed to Tom Leppard, which enabled him to be considered as the Worlds Most Tattooed Man under the Guinness Books of World Records. A very well know Stalking Cat of Washington State had also become known for his catlike split upper lip. He wore long jewels in his multiple cheek pierces. The pieces of jewelry complement his catlike tattoo markings that accentuated him to be almost like his totem animal. There had also been a known Lizard Man whose tongue was split with teeth filed to points. Anyone who had seen him perform on stage would really be astounded of acts like swallowing a sword, swinging off the body weights on body pierced areas and eating fire. Other known performer for sideshow was The Enigma whose tattoos made him appear like a living blue puzzle. The Enigmas other pride was his large ear, lip and body piercings and implanted horn on the forehead. Twenty two tattoo artists had simultaneously worked on his body, which was a real world record at the Amsterdam Tattoo Convention. Just think of the endurance which was mustered by The Enigma.

Did you know that the healing time differs in the different parts of the body which were pierced or tattooed? Body tattooing and body piercing cause a wound in the specific part of the body where the procedures were performed. The healing time depends upon the type of procedure and the body part which was tattooed or pierced. It is important to note that knowledge of the healing time prevents you to irritate the wound while its in the process of healing. The usual healing time for body piercing are as follows: for cheek- 2-4 months, ear cartilage -2 months to 1 year, eyebrow- 2 months to 1 year, labret -6 weeks to 2 months, navel- 6 months to 2 years, nipple- 2 to 6 months, nostrils- 2 months to 1 year, and tongue- 6 weeks to 1 month. It is delicate during the healing period and therefore, the wound needs extra care and proper treatment. Body tattoo should be bandaged after the tattooing procedure and should be left bandaged for four hours or overnight. The next day, it is safe to remove the bandage but the area should be cleaned regularly. You may only use your fingertips to wash the area with cold water and do not remove scabs.

Did you know that choosing the right tattoo or body piercing shop can save your life? Choosing the right tattoo or body piercing shop can be one of the best decisions you will be making, if you are considering having a tattoo or body pierce. When you are up to finding the suitable tattoo shop, you have to consider a few reminders. These are as follows: you have to make sure that the studio is an established business with licensed artist. The artist should have a proper training, and he/she maintains a clean environment. When we say clean, the artist should be wearing gloves when performing the tattoo procedure or body piercing. The tattoo studio should have at least five areas: counter, waiting room, piercing/tattooing room, bathroom and a sterilization room. Make sure that the artist uses a new needle every time he performs a tattooing or body piercing. And the studio should have many different types of jewelries for piercing, and lastly, the studio should be recognized by the Association of Professional Piercers. To check whether the tattoo and body piercing studio is a licensed and recognized by the APP, a certificate should be displayed on the studio. Check also the portfolio of the artist, to make sure that he has performed well with the other customers. These reminders will save your life, considering the risks that are involved in body arts.

How does a teen resolve his wanting or his assumed need to be acceptable to his peer group? For adolescents, acceptance is a big issue that helps them determines their self-identity. Who would want to be rejected from a group? Of course, every teen would presumably do everything just to be accepted no matter how high the stakes are.

Did you know of factors that impede the easier removal of tattoo? The removal of tattoo is not at all easy and possible in one session. Its complete removal, however, is difficult because of some factors. The age of tattoo is one of the factors. If a person has acquired the tattoo for almost three to five decades, the tendency to remove the colors or ink of the tattoo becomes a big challenge. The size of the tattoo and inks types and colors are also few of the factors that make the removal of tattoo a bit hard. A dermatologist can help resolve your worries about your tattoo and how it can be better removed. Your dermatologist can prescribe anesthesia if s/he found out that you need it. In addition, the dermatologist can inform you if all of your tattoos have the possibility to be removed. The process of removing the tattoo does not take an overnight process; rather the whole process reaches for about several months. The removal experience of tattoo is almost likened to getting a new tattoo because of almost similar pains. The removed tattoo become a wound part and must be scrupulously looked after and not be scrubbed or rubbed. Tattoo is supposedly designed for permanence but if you may still have it remove when you decide it only that the whole removal procedure is worse than the first time you had your body tattoo.
