Tattooing

As an artist, I started exploring different fields of art through time. One that took my attention the most was tattooing, the combination of drawing and some really difficult way of hands abilities itself.
I get into this art hobby before 2 years without any knowledge, and through time with the desire to learn and practice it I learned a lot of things.
Application of rules and studies is very important as the process from start to end of every single tattoo.
Since a lot of people don’t know about tattooing and in our society is still a taboo theme, I could say it’s better to speak about interesting general facts and definitions. And besides the fact, someone would think it’s a business and it is illegal to do it besides registered business, I m not allowed to show my work and process of work, since it is not my First call job, it is a hobby. Following this, website purpose, as well as a blog, is made to show all of my interests in different topics.

Tattooing is the process or method of inserting pigment into the dermis of the skin to create a tattoo. Tattooing has always entailed rubbing pigment into cuts. To limit the risk to human health, modern tattooing almost usually necessitates the use of a tattoo machine, as well as processes and accessories.

Tattooing is the application of color to the skin’s dermis, the layer of dermal tissue beneath the epidermis. Following the initial injection, pigment is spread throughout a homogenized damaged layer that extends down through the epidermis and upper dermis, where the presence of foreign material prompts the immune system’s phagocytes to consume the pigment particles. As healing progresses, the damaged epidermis flakes away (removing surface pigment), while granulation tissue forms deeper in the skin and is later converted to connective tissue via collagen formation.

This repairs the upper dermis, where pigment is retained within fibroblasts and eventually concentrates in a layer just below the dermis/epidermis line. Its presence is stable, although over time (decades), the pigment tends to move deeper into the dermis, explaining why ancient tattoos have reduced detail.

The electric tattoo machine, which puts ink into the skin by a single needle or a set of needles soldered onto a bar coupled to an oscillating unit, is the most prevalent form of tattooing in modern times. The needles are driven in and out of the skin at a rate of 80 to 150 times per second by the device. Ordinarily, this modern method is sanitary. The needles are single-use and come in individual packaging. The tattoo artist must cleanse his or her hands as well as the region to be inked. Gloves should be worn at all times, and the wound should be washed down periodically with a moist disposable towel of some kind. Before and after each usage, the equipment must be sterilized in a certified autoclave.

Prices for this service vary widely both globally and locally, depending on the complexity of the tattoo, the artist’s talent and competence, the customer’s attitude, the costs of running a business, the economics of supply and demand, and so on. The length of time required to get a tattoo is proportional to its size and complexity. A little one with a simple pattern may take 15 minutes, whereas an extensive sleeve tattoo or back piece may necessitate numerous sessions lasting several hours at a time over months or even years.

In New York City in 1891, Thomas Edison’s electric engraving pen was modified to create the first electric tattoo needle. This made the process less expensive and speedier, and it was adopted by the poor while being abandoned by the wealthy. O’Reilly’s machine was based on the rotating technology of Thomas Edison’s electric engraving instrument.

Electromagnetic coils are used in modern tattoo machines. Thomas Riley patented the first coil machine in London in 1891, utilizing a single coil. Another Englishman, Alfred Charles South of London, invented the first twin-coil machine, the forerunner to the present arrangement, in 1899. Horst Heinrich Streckenbach (1929–2001) and Manfred Kohrs, two German tattoo artists, created another tattoo machine between 1970 and 1978.
