Body art is an ancient but widespread form of body enhancement. There are various reasons why people engage in body art, such as hairstyle, body painting, body marks, and the like. Some of them are performed solely aesthetically or decoratively, while others are intended for medical, spiritual, entertainment, identification or symbolic reasons.
To improve the body, you can use a wide range of tools. These include ejection tools, drawing tools, cutting tools, spreading tools, tattoo tools, and so on. Materials used for body art include tattoo dyes, special cleaning products, and so on. Ink and ink for printing, such as Indian ink, is used for amateur tattoos. Other colors that can be used include pigments and dyes. Other materials used include plant extracts, carbon black, carbon and ocher. Henna, which is a natural plant, is also used to make temporary tattoos.
There are several causes of health hazards in body art. Most of them are caused by contamination of the instruments used. Examples of such devices are skin penetrating instruments such as spears, electrolysis needles and extractors. When these instruments are not cleaned effectively and are not sterilized before use on another person, or when disposable instruments are not discarded immediately after use.
There are also allergic and toxic reactions caused by impurities from the process of producing pigments and dyes used for tattoos. Tattoo inks may contain aromatic amines with carcinogenic potential (may cause cancer). Some types of tattoo, as noted, cause mild forms of skin cancer. Tattoo dyes, especially red, green, yellow, and blue dyes can cause allergic skin reactions, such as an itchy rash on the tattooed area. This can happen even years after you get a tattoo.
In addition, skin problems such as bumps, called granulomas, are formed around tattoo ink. Tattooing can also lead to keloids or raised areas caused by excessive growth of scar tissue. This can lead to blood borne diseases. For example, if the equipment used to create a tattoo is infected with infected blood, a person can infect various blood related diseases, including tetanus, hepatitis B, hepatitis C or even HIV / AIDS.
These health-related cases can be prevented by taking some practical measures. For example, the tools and equipment used to manufacture body art must be sterilized. Hand washing is the only important factor in preventing infection.
In addition, chemicals used in body art should be properly labeled so that there are no substitutions. Chemicals must be properly accounted for. They should be stored in well-protected containers, etc. The instructions for using and caring for them should be carefully followed.
In addition, all work surfaces used, such as treatment couches / chairs, benches and tables, should be washed with warm water and detergent, washed and dried using a clean, lint-free disposable cloth. In addition, at the end of each working day, wash all visible contamination with warm water and detergent. Rinse and dry the cleaned surfaces with a clean, lint-free, disposable cloth.
There are many methods that can be used in body art. The most common method is painting. It involves applying paint, dye or pigment with a brush. After drawing a sketch or design layout on the surface of the skin, a brush is used to apply paint to the surface of the body. A seal is also used, in which drawings are sometimes printed on the surface of the body. Sometimes papers with allowed ink are transferred to the surface of the body. Laser printers are also used to transfer computerized patterns on the surface of the skin. The paint can be applied to the surface of the body with a sponge or foam to transfer patterns on the surface of the skin.
