Monster back tattoo design for man

The people with UV tattoos like going to discotheques and clubs to show off their tattoos because under ultraviolet lights, their tattoos shine.

A VNExpress reporter met several young people at a tattoo shop in Hanoi. They had paid a deposit to book the tattoos they liked.

“It is hard to find a tattoo shop like this where we can get UV tattoos, explained a girl named Lan Anh. The shop owner learned in France and his equipment is clean. Many people like tattoos, but they don’t dare use UV ink.”

A girl named Hoa acknowledged that “Tattoos are art so there is no specific price.” She pulled up her sleeve to show a new tattoo featuring a 10cm pattern and bragged, “This costs me 900,000 dong. So cheap! It would usually be 1.5 million dong!”

Linh had five tattoos already, but he wanted another UV tattoo to be “different from the others.” He admitted that he felt burning pains around the tattooed area and sometimes had to take anti-allergic medicines.

Many stylish youths have paid for UV tattoos. Dung, a hair designer, said when this kind of tattoo arrivedin Vietnam, he liked it very much. After he was tattooed, however, his skin burned and he had to go to a hospital.

To plastic wrap or not to plastic wrap your tattoo?

Every time I see someone with plastic wrap taped onto their arm it makes me cringe. I have even watched popular (but stupid) tattoo shows on TV where even those artists are taping plastic wrap around someone. Ouch… doesn’t any of these tattoo artists know anything about the human body?

Try something. Next time you or someone you knows gets a tattoo, hover your hand right above it without actually touching the skin. Then walk into a hospital, find someone with wicked road rash or a nasty wound and hover your hand over it without touching the skin. A finished tattoo is a fresh wound. The needles go a million miles per hour in and out of your skin and can cause some to bleed, but inevitably leaving you with a straight up wound. Therefor, taping plastic wrap causes an occlusive seal around the tattoo, which means that its not letting in anything and not letting anything out.

Think of it this way, spacebagging your wound lets nothing out, all that heat that you feel coming off the skin and the bacteria from the needle shoving its way around, all the blood and sweat are stuck in this one little spot dripping into an open wound, susceptible to any and all kinds of infection.

What should be done is using paper/cotton-y material, possible like what hospitals use, gauze and dressing and such, anything to let your skin and fresh new wound breathe. Don’t have any medical dressings? Use a damn paper towel!

Tattoos: creative modification, or branding?

A tattoo is a marking made by inserting indelible ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.
