Do you want to make a tattoo?

When applying any tattoo design, it is natural that you should take care of your own safety and protection. So, what to pay attention to when deciding to apply a tattoo?

First, make sure that you have a vaccination against hepatitis, tetanus and other serious diseases, as well as think about where you can go for help if you catch a tattoo infection (signs of infection - excessive redness and sensitivity around the tattoo, prolonged bleeding, pus or discoloration of the skin around the tattoo).

Before making a tattoo, see your doctor and ask whether you need to take some precautions if you have heart disease, allergies, diabetes, skin disease or you are pregnant. And yet, if on your wounds are often can be found keloids (excessive growth of scar tissue on the wound), you'd better refrain from tattooing.

It is important to make sure that the tattoo parlor is clean and safe, and that the equipment is used only for one-time (gloves, needles, masks, etc.) and sterilized (everything else). Some countries and cities set their own standards for tattoo studios, but usually these standards are violated. You can contact the health department in your state, country or city and learn about tattoo parlors with the license, and check for complaints received for a specific tattoo studio.

Professional salons are known for their cleanliness. Here are a few facts that you should check:
  - Make sure that the cabin has an autoclave (a device that sterilize equipment with steam, heat and pressure). Ask employees salon show you how they sterilize equipment in an autoclave.
  - If the master has a license, he should show you a confirmation.

If the studio tattoo looks dirty, if something is wrong, or if you just feel uncomfortable there, look for a better place to get a tattoo.
