Your Tattoo Treatment Could Kill You
We should discuss ink briefly.
Tattoos are expensive and more permanent. That is unless you want to pay about $ 150 per session for 5-10 laser tattoo removal sessions, many people have come to me.
If you want to keep the ink on your skin and keep that tattoo burning for years to come, you want to take care of it properly. Unfortunately, what many people (including tattoo artists) don't realize is that the healing process can make or break a tattoo.
That doesn't mean great artists can't blow you away by offering old-school post-production. Many have been doing it for years and continue to be successful. Also, it does not mean that a novice or sketch artist can take care of you when working on your skin, expecting a perfectly treated tattoo.
The big problem with 90% of tattoos is that there is a phase called "hard healing". Acne, rashes, pimples, itchy white bumps, or severe crusting occur. Why did this happen? A rash can be caused by your skin being overworked, your immune system not being optimal, or any number of other reasons.
"Treatment" products often contain lanolin, petroleum, mineral oil, sea salt, food grade coloring, or alcohol, all of which have dangerous and even fatal effects. When it comes to tattoos, there is no cure.
Let me give you the ingredients that can cause the above situation.
Lanolin - derived from sheep's wool. These include allergies, pesticides, and increased sensitivity to the sun, causing rashes, swelling, or skin infections. Whenever taken inside, lanolin can cause looseness of the bowels, digestive issues, and spewing.
Petrol/mineral oil is referred to a cancer-causing agent, is utilized as a diuretic, and is a side-effect of fuel.These substances remove vitamins from the body and increase the risk of scrotal, skin, gastrointestinal, rectal, bladder, and respiratory cancers.
Food grade coloring - can be pigmented from synthetic sources used to color animals, plants, INSECTS, and products. Some dyes are derived from coal tar and are routinely tested on animals for their carcinogenic properties.
Alcohol, sea salt - even if it cleans, it will dry out the tattoo and thus damage them. This substance has the potential to heat and burn the skin. Have you heard the expression, salt is a serious problem?
These are just some of the ingredients used in the traditional tattoo process as well as the healing process.
Tattoos are open wounds and should be treated accordingly.
Can you go to your mechanic for maintenance? Some of the ingredients listed above are similar to putting motor oil on your tattoo. If you use an inferior product, you will get an inferior tattoo!
If the product causes vomiting, diarrhea, or cancer, why put it in the largest organ in your body? "Hard healing" can also cause scarring and cause you to worry unnecessarily about things that will last forever. Poor healing is a waste of time for everyone involved.
You spend a lot of time choosing a clean shop, a talented artist, and a lot of time letting your artist create a permanent piece of art on your body. So why would you drop the ball on the most important stage of the healing process by using low-maintenance products?
Would you use a "treatment" ointment made with ANY color (food grade or not) if you were advised not to use fragrance or color in the lotion after the 3rd day?
But there is good news...
After you put in all the time and decide on your tattoo, you can spend less time worrying about the healing process. Where you want your ink to stay...you can control the part that has a huge impact on how long it stays on your skin!
Do you trust tattoo artists without tattoos? So, you wouldn't want a product made by a man in a white suit who doesn't know how to get inked or tattooed, would you? Old-school "treatment" products are not designed to treat tattoos. It's simple. Those old-school products run your ink and cause the problems listed above.
The solution is simple. When looking for tattoo aftercare and looking for a company, look for these qualities:
The owners believe in the art of curation and consider what they do to be an art form (you can usually get that feeling by looking at the website and reading the content). Using tattoo models instead of actual research and content shows that the company is more focused on marketing than tattoo treatment.
Treatment is done by people who know the true healing properties of the ingredients in their products! Did they use the materials they chose? Can you easily see what's in a health product, or do you have to look for an ingredient list?
A company that cares about YOU and answers your questions about how to care for your ink. Do you have an FAQ or testimonials page?
Medicines are created by people who understand human anatomy and biology, especially skin care, skin conditions, and immune function.
Treated by someone trained in tattoo removal. Why is this important? To properly remove a tattoo, you need to know how it is placed on the skin.
The treatment is made with simple and limited ingredients, thus avoiding major reactions and allergies. Do not buy products that cannot say more than 3 letters or have components. Ceresin? Bisabolol? Microcrystalline wax? Paraffin? Cod liver oil (explains why this ingredient is used as "smelly!")? Polymyxin B sulfate? Do you know what this ingredient is or do?
After being treated with organic ingredients to reduce allergies and promote healing, illness should not be tolerated.
A comfortable treatment that is naturally hypoallergenic.
Products that improve the healing time of your work.
A useful and multifunctional product for all stages of care.
If you need a product that has the properties listed above, you will be treated better and faster. Don't be disappointed, because the products recommended by your makeup artist are $1-2 more than the cheaper alternatives at your local drugstore. You get what you pay for...clogged pores are bad for a tattoo and will cost you more time and money to care for.
Your tattoo will last a lifetime, especially if you take care of it. You pay good money for permanent ink - you don't have to cheap out on the healing process.
As a Greenfire WiseWoman, I love skincare. While studying cancer at the same time as my master's degree, I learned how dangerous many of the ingredients in some of the "healing" ointments on the market are. For over 20 years, I have been researching natural and alternative therapies and following trends. These more than 20 years of research have made me stick to a true, more logical scientific treatment. My mission, or calling, is to help people overcome the confusion they see and hear about being healthy. I did it because I felt lost and confused. I want people to do what I do to diagnose Western medicine and follow the responsibility for being Holistic and natural, sensitive and strong. In 2007 I started creating organic tattoos with the help of my tattoo partner 2005. Real Heal Aftercare was created from my reaction to conventional aftercare products on the market and my research on skincare and carcinogens. Here are some tips for organic living:
