✅❓ Does my tattoo have to be similar to someone else's?

🖐🏽Greetings from Tepoztlán 👽.
The tattoo is not a cap, shoes or pants that you see someone wearing and you want it too. Find the tattoo artist that fits the quality and style you are looking for, pay the corresponding advance for their services, talk with him / her about your tastes, your children, favorite colors and shapes, themes, etc. and he / she will be in charge of creating a unique design for you. Otherwise you run the risk of bringing on your skin a tattoo that did not reach the quality of the photo you saw, in addition to that you will have on your skin the story of someone else, someone else's children and the likes of someone else.

✅❓Why does it not hurt to get a tattoo where it hurts others?

Much is determined by the individual characteristics of each body, therefore, the map of pain of a tattoo is very, very dependent on EVERY PERSON.

✅❓Do you get a tattoo under general anesthesia?

No not at all !!!. Because anesthesia, even local, causes considerable damage to the body. If the pain from the tattoo seems unbearable, it is best to leave the tattoo entirely.

✅❓Can I get a tattoo while pregnant?

🚫 Greetings from Tepoztlán 👽
I want to share a little information about tattoos and pregnancy. 🟩It is a question that I see frequently in many groups and here a little of it.
It is NOT recommended to get a tattoo during pregnancy, a tattoo not only has to do with aesthetics but also with health.
It is totally irresponsible to want to tattoo yourself at this stage. NO doctor would recommend that you get a tattoo while pregnant, NO ethical tattoo artist would make you that tattoo while pregnant. A TATTOO IS FOREVER WHAT'S THE RUSH? A CHILD… WHY RISK IT? Of course, nothing may happen, but there is a risk and as long as this risk exists, the answer will always be NO.
Tattooing stimulates your immune system and in any other case this could be very beneficial for your body👍, but speaking of a pregnancy this is different👎. One of the main risks is when you are getting the tattoo, during pregnancy you should not expose yourself to stressful situations: especially physical, since you are more delicate and glucose levels can drop very quickly in your body, ( this happens even without the need for a pregnancy, and it happens to men and women alike when they get tattooed) in the best cases it will only be a faint and a scare but in a very possible and probable case it could cause a sudden abortion.
🌿Another reason is that the components of the ink are made with vegetable, mineral, chemical and even animal elements depending on the brand, introduce your body Substances of any kind cause the immune system to release a torrent of other chemicals to react or defend itself, but in a pregnancy this is more likely to cause you to go into shock from an immune or allergic reaction: blood pressure drops suddenly and the airways narrow, which prevents breathing and causes the pulse to become weak or fast and this is not at all positive for the prenatal stage.
Another risk is an infection, if it is mild you saved yourself; but if it is serious due to bad application, bad materials or bad care You will not be able to be taking medications so easily to attack it by affecting your baby again.
In breastfeeding it is similar for the same reasons as the immune system and your body chemistry will be busy healing or preventing anything about the wound and the ink instead of focusing only on what it should be doing. There are people to whom absolutely none of this has happened, but why risk a baby just for a tattoo.
Good day to all.

✅❓What to do if the pain worsens during the session?

The reasons can be many, from severe stress and panic attacks to anaphylactic shock and fainting. And in general, the pain threshold of a tattoo is different for everyone. If the client feels slightly ill, it is better to refuse to continue working. In case of an inappropriate reaction of the body, it is better to call a doctor.

✅❓ What ointment or cream to use to make a Tattoo Scar?

• Eucerin the acuaphor
• Nivea or Eucerin cream
• Washing with neutral soap three times a day and putting on Bepanthen cream gave me very good results
• bepanthen
• Vlanc + piur
• Definitely Bepanthen is the most recommended, it heals quickly and you do not run risks, do not experiment with other types of "alternatives" so to speak, it may not be viable

✅❓Why choose between black or color tattoo?

If you are making a tattoo according to an individual sketch, ask the teacher to draw it in two versions: b / w and color. It may cost you a bit more, but it will be easier for you to decide. By the way, a black and white tattoo is You can easily do it in color by adding new elements to it. If you can't decide on a sketch for a long time, it is better to choose one that does not contain large solid elements; it will be difficult to "fit" them into the framework of the new drawing.

Much also depends on the teacher. If you dare to entrust your body to a beginner with little experience, then it is better to do only a black and white drawing, since tattoos of colors are the highest level of skill. Of course, if we are not talking about small images in 1-2 colors, but about large "canvases" with a three-dimensional effect. It makes sense to make such tattoos only from trusted masters with extensive experience. Because it will take longer and more expensive to remove a large multi-color drawing than a monochrome one.

One more point: color tattoos often require tone correction. The fact is that the black pigment is the most persistent, it retains the contrast with the skin color for the longest time. But pink, yellow, blue and other light pigments fade faster under the influence of ultraviolet rays.

✅❓ Does anyone know if I can get a tattoo while breastfeeding, breastfeeding or lactating?

Taking the necessary hygiene precautions to avoid the spread of an infectious disease, the answer is YES, you can get a tattoo even if you are breastfeeding your child.
The tattoo ink stays on the skin, it does not pass into the blood, so in no case will it pass into the milk either. Your baby is safe. That was passed on to me by my doctor when I told him that I could get a tattoo.
What you should avoid is tattooing the nipple or areola, because in that case the baby could ingest any of the toxic products that are used in tattoos of course you should look for a place that meets the hygienic and sanitary requirements that ensure you the necessary sterility of the instruments used, in order to avoid contagion of diseases.
- ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE DOING IT -

• Do you know what happens? That you put too much ink, you see a lot of relief, so it is normal for all that extra ink to come out, keep curing it 3 times a day and use the cream recommended by your Tattooist.
