The tattoo industry is not much more busy today than it was 10 years ago, it just seems that way due to all the recent media exposure with Reality TV Shows and also with celebrities being more open about their piercings and tattoos.

It is common, especially in the American Traditional style of tattooing, to tattoo beautiful Gypsy faces. The symbolism behind these tattoos is that the Gypsy's face or their crystal ball are representative of looking toward the future, and not living in the past.


What is cosmetic tattooing?

Dermagraphics, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is when tattooing is used to replace makeup, create cover for missing hair (eyebrows for instance), cover blemishes, cover scars, or restore missing color (lips, breast areolas). Unlike decorative tattooing, dermagraphics is often used to either restore a natural appearance or to function as makeup. The techniques are similar to decorative tattooing, except different pigments are used and the artist must take care to match colors more closely and to have a keener eye for detail. Common types of work involve permanent eye shadow, permanent lipstick, permanent lip liner, permanent blush, enhancement or "replacement" of the eyebrows, scar cover-up, vitiligo cover-up, and areoloa restoration. In rare cases, tattooing is used under the authority of an ophtalmologist to create a more normal appearance of the eyes, in the case of blind and deformed eyes. That way, enucleation (eyeball removal) and fitting with a prosthesis can be avoided.

What are the art and risks of tattoos and body piercing?

One of the biggst health risks about tattooing and piercings are infections if a clean needle is used for both procedures. Infections happen when you don't keep the pierced or tattoo area clean with what the person recomends is best for you. If you don't clean them ( I know from experience) the area will become very red to purple.and begin to puss. At this point go see a doctor to get the proper treatment.

Do CNA's need to get a license to body pierce?

There are no "licenses" for body piercing nor for tattooing either for the most part. In this instance "licensing" is referencing a business license. You will never the less have to get formal training with a body piercer and serve his or her apprentice. Piercing apprenticeships don't take very long at all when compared to tattooing apprenticeships. Call around to local shops in the area to see if they have any openings in this regard. Your credentials will help you immensely more so than a common enthusiast coming off the street wanting to learn.


In what week could a belly piercing become infected?

A "Navel" piercing can become infected at any time during the healing process. It generally takes a full year for a piercing to be considered "seasoned", this is the point at which it is considered fully healed. Contrary to the misinformation provided by the internet, all piercings take much more time to fully heal than what is indicated by piercers and novices in the industry. Any time the piercing is subjected to a direct impact, snagging, pulling, improper aftercare or the jewellery is changed too soon during the initial healing period the piercing can become infected. Only proper common sense aftercare can prevent a piercing from becoming infected. Proper personal hygiene and washing the piercing daily will ensure a problem free piercing. Ensuring you are not putting "garbage" into your piercing, this would be cheap junk jewellery from mall vendors and locations that don't actually provide body piercing services. Look after your piercing, wear good quality body jewellery and don't touch the piercing with dirty hands, these are the steps to an infection free piercing.

Is it normal for the inside of a lip piercing to become a large sore or for the back of a stud to go inside of my lip?

Becoming swollen and sore after getting the piercing is usually common. What is uncommon is the stud sinking into your lip. You probably need to go back to the piercer and get a different type of jewelry.
