If you ever wondered how make a tattoo, since you are thinking of making yourself one, or you’re just curious, we have prepared this article for you.
Although the experience is different for everyone, there are certain things you can expect from how a tattoo is made. We will detail them below!
Make an appointment
Before starting your session you will need to follow a series of steps. First of all, find out what kind of tattoos you want, where you want it and who you want it to do it for you. Once you’ve decided, go to the studio (or call, or send an email) to specify the design details and an appointment.
In some tattoo studios, the tattoo artist will have a list of days, weeks and even months. That does not mean that once you have made the appointment, the tattoo artist is not preparing: he is probably going around the design, he will send you doubts or suggestions or even want to meet you first to finish rounding the details.
D-Day
When the day comes, you only have to discover, live, how a tattoo is done. The tattoo artist will surely shave the part to ink (if you have hair, of course), disinfect it and put a stencil with the drawing on your skin. Then he’ll ask you to lie down on a stretcher and the fun will start.
You will see how, first of all, the delineation will be traversed with a thinner needle. Then the color will come. In addition, it will clean the area of traces of blood and ink to have a good eye and be able to control the final result more easily. When it’s done, minutes or hours later, it’ll wrap your wound with film and you’re done!
