Tattoos BeZz

Get tattooed a cowgirl was not enough for the professional piercer Lane Jensen: To make the picture even more realistic burst and has seen fit to use of silicone implants. Too bad his leg, the scene of this curious experiment of body decoration, rejected the system after just two weeks.

Lane Jensen, co-owner of the center of tattoos and piercings Dragon FX Kingsway Edmonton, Canada, has become famous for its bizarre intuition, "because anyone who adores women with breasts redone because it does not provide silicone implants for tattoos, thereby sending a new trend? ".
Was obviously not the first tattoo for him, that the assets had already 20, scattered 'throughout the body, the possibility of having a three-dimensional, however, seemed very attractive. To the point of risking infection or rejection.

The silicone, the same one used in rhinoplasty or in cosmetic surgery, has been inserted under the skin through a small incision, then sutured. Two weeks later, on Christmas Eve, the leg of Lane Jensen has decided to get rid of the foreign body. The scars showed clear signs of infection and a liter of lymphatic fluid made the girl drawn even more prosperous. It was time to remove the implant.
"Everything was done in perfect order - said the thirty -. It is only a demonstration of how some bodies react against anything. "

Some of his clients have regret not being able to see the three-dimensional tattoo. But do not go home to totally dry mouth: Jensen has to display several photos, some of which are reserved only for strong stomachs.
"The body rejects 20% of the prosthesis - he told The Edmonton Sun - and this depends on the type, from hygiene or the input mode. Many facilities do not tell you that there may be contraindications until you have added to the body of a plant worth several thousands of dollars. Only after you communicate the degree of risk. If your body can not stand something, he always finds a way to make you understand. "

The infection in the leg and the ensuing weeks of antibiotic were not enough to change the opinion in Jensen about tattoos 3D. Indeed, the piercer looks with envy of a colleague who has made successfully implanted a small plant in the shape of musical note just below the chest. "It looks really great," was his comment enthusiastic.

I've learned my lesson? It would seem more likely the opposite. "I appreciate that we have talked of the system and hope that this media hype encourages other people to ask others to make three-dimensional and bring out their tattoos."

Tribal or biomechanical tattoo? Irezumi Japanese or Gothic lettering? Piercing or scarification? There is plenty of choice and fans of the genre know that to see the best sample assorted tattoo needle and maybe take advantage of the most popular artists in the world, the International Tattoo Convention in London is a must.

Definitely OUT the so-called "tramp stamps" (those tattoo at the base of the back, usually women, who stretch out their decorations on the sides of the spine - omit literal translation of the term) as well as timid butterflies, spiders and dolphins that peek out from parts of the body usually hidden by clothing. The trend in 2009/10 points to stretch big and obvious "big and bold" experts say, best of Japanese invoice or Chicano (Mexican-American).
Inside the expo also many stands of Italian tattoo artists who travel the world to get to know and to increase more and more market tattoo, as shown by statistics, is growing.

The economic crisis, in fact, does not seem to have affected the art of tattooing. In USA there are about 300 firms that specialize in tattoos and piercings. And as many as 52 have opened last summer, with an average of 4 per week, thus representing 18.3% of the total companies in the sector. If we also consider the activities which implement them on an ancillary basis, you get to about 900 companies, with a turnover estimated at around 80 million dollars. And 'what emerges from research studies of the Office of the Chamber of Commerce of Manhattan, on data from the Business Register.

But who are the proprietors of tattoos and piercings? 93% of the companies is individual and in 50.6% of cases, the owner is a man, between 30 and 49 years. Only in 26.4% of cases, the owner is a woman and there are business owners over 70. That tattoo is a fashion spread, which affects both men and women alike. Getting a tattoo costs a minimum of $ 40 in New York (for a small and simple tattoo) up, but for an incision on the back can also be reached at 2000 dollars.Cheaper is instead the piercing which costs an average of 50 dollars and concerns a young target from 16 to 25 years: are the most popular for girls navel and eyebrow for males.

You know the Henna tattoos? Here, you would have never imagined golden? And platinum? No, probably not, but the skin can now be enhanced with the fascinating semi-permanent tattoos to 99% gold!

The exclusive launch of this fashion was born in Dubai Burj Al Arab Hotel and has a cost that ranges from $ 50 to over 5000! These tattoos are nothing more than thin strips with 24-karat applied to the skin, and unfortunately last for about a week, but if it was for a special day, maybe you might even grant that luxury. It 's the first time that you can use gold and platinum on skin, and is a revolution in the field of body art! This is confirmed also the one who saw this trend in Japan and brought to Dubai, his name is Arnaud Flambeau. He adds, "This new art is almost like wearing a jewel of luxury on the skin, a revelation to many worlds: the world of makeup, one tattoo, that of luxury amenities." In this video you can see how they are made these tattoos.

Surely this new avant-garde is something that only applies to a certain target group, or you are rich, or difficult you can afford a detour from Dubai to make these beautiful tattoos. But it seems that this trend will gradually throughout the rest of the world! What do you think? It 'something that will go out of fashion in your opinion?

More and more the 'repentant' tattoo. A more than 40% of the tattooed in fact not like most, in the course of life, the design imprinted on the skin. And increases those who turn to plastic surgeon to remove them. Operation now possible with the use of new generation laser "but still complex," says Maurizio Valeriani, chief of plastic surgery at San Filippo Blacks in Rome, noting that requests to remove the tattoo begins with the first sun spring.
Although the most suitable seasons are autumn and winter "and because the rays of the sun should be avoided after the treatment, and because it takes many sessions, separated by a few weeks, to get the desired result", says expert . According to the plastic surgeon in recent years, "there has been a noticeable increase in requests to remove tattoos. Why has the number of tattooed people - it is estimated that there are about 8 million Europeans with at least one drawing on the skin - but also because it believes that it is an easier than in the past. " A belief largely founded.
"One time - explained Valeriani - were needed aggressive treatments, such as dermabrasion, cryotherapy, surgical excision. Interventions that involved more or less visible scars, however permanent." Today, however, "there are very sophisticated laser - continues Valeriani - the so-called Q-Switchet, with the possibility of giving a pulse of a few microseconds: is done with a very high energy of small particles of tattoo that are vaporized. These are eliminated through the skin itself or fragmented in such a way that macrophages, our cells responsible scavenger to eliminate small foreign bodies, able to blow them away. "
But to make sure that the tattoo is eliminated "first make a series of tests - said Valeriani - because the designs have different colors and not all are sensitive to the laser. On the white, for example, the laser can not even work. E 'more simple drawings also delete a single color. " Easier to remove, instead, the black, as well as the red. More difficult for the blue and green.
"It 's important to have an expert to remove the tattoo - says the surgeon - because the use of the laser has to be chosen the right wavelength to delete that particular color. Otherwise you do not get the result. Instruments more have new wavelengths able to better treat the color designs ". With the laser, in addition, will also be deleted tattoos cosmetics, lip and eye, which most do not like or that you want to touch up differently.
The operation removes-tattoo, however, remains complex and costly. "It takes several sessions - accurate - and each costs between 200 and 300 euro." The Board, therefore, is to think twice before going into a tattoo studio. "You have to be very motivated - the expert concludes - and, if it is decided, better to choose small tattoos, dark colors, monochrome, slender lines." And even if you choose to remove a tattoo great "better assess whether it is possible to remove only a part: often refuses all over the tattoo, but only part of it," says Valeriani.

Julia Roberts is her greatest passion. No, not a passion that led him to see and memorize all of his films, at least not alone. Miljenko Parserisas Bukovic, Mexican newspaper of 56 years, has completely covered the body from the face of the actress has as many as 82 tattoos of Julia Roberts.

Close-ups, busts and full-length, there's something for all tastes. Man, after seeing the movie Erin Brockovich, then started tattooing and "as long as there will be money and space on the skin" will continue to do so. terrible!

Stefano De Martino describes the evolution of his tattoo on his neck. It is no secret that the new companion Belen Rodriguez is trying to delete the "E" who had a tattoo on his neck.
Not everyone, however, know that the tattoo has a "story" rather complicated and that explains well how dangerous it is to choose the kind of tribute to their love stories.
It 'the same Stephen to reveal to the weekly magazine "Chi" and the "E" was actually an "F" and that the letter had been given, at the age of 18 years, the first real love story of the dancer Friends .
A girlfriend "historic" for Stefano, a love that the dancer had wanted to celebrate with an indelible tattoo.
Then the story is over, the girl has changed and also changed the letter tattooed. The engagement with Emma Brown has transformed the monogram "F" to "E" as a tribute, in fact, the new companion.
Now, with the end of the relationship, even in a traumatic way, with the singer revelation, the tattoo has become a burden and Stefano decided to delete it even though, officially, it is a choice "aesthetics".
"The tattoo I do not like the most and take it off" has held the companion of Belen.

Sure if they see really bizarre tattoos of any kind and in any place but this has really incredible. A Croatian man has decided to take affect on the penis the trunk of an elephant with a result that really leaves you speechless ... despite the pain and the advice of the tattoo artist the man in question wanted to realize the dream of being with an elephant now in place of the lower parts and it seems to go well proud.
The design was carried out by specialized study JoJo & Kenfa of Zagreb, and explains just one tattoo, despite attempts to reflect the customer about the reality of the job that required nothing has been able to budge: "We try to warn customers about the choices indelible which are to fulfill because tattoos, especially in points such bizarre, are difficult to remove at a later time. But often decide to go all the way heedless of the risks. "It is true that now and forever will see an elephant and his trunk instead of the private parts...

The fashion for tattoos and piercings now has become a habit. Growing both in Italy and abroad, especially in America, where one study found that since the lowering of the age of the children who undergo tattoos has become increasingly alarming occurrence "boom" of allergies.
"They hurt, best not to do it" has always been the reminder of dermatologists.
Always the skin specialists have seen them as the prelude to allergies and infections, now the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has issued rules to keep them as new.
In spite of the warnings of doctors, in fact, the craze to draw indelibly on the body or anything pierce skin and cartilage with jewelry of all kinds grows among young and old, infecting even the smallest, denounce the ADF members.
Dermatologists, indicating a lowering of the age for the first earring and teenagers is rampant among the fashion for tattoos, permanent or temporary henna, decide upon a new strategy to be heard because they increase allergic reactions and infections transmitted by needles, ink or jewelry.

Meanwhile in Italy adverse reactions to tattoos are on the rise, as well as the phenomenon of the designs on the skin, especially among males and in the age group 25-40 years. In the last five-year period allergies have doubled and increased the reactions caused by the semi-permanent tattoos, such as henna-based, according to a study by a team of experts from the Institute of Health and the Institute of Dermatology San Gallicano.
And dermatologists Americans, where the fashion design of the skin is more extreme, have ceased to be compelling and have decided to give you advice on how to take care of decorations and jewelry inserted into the skin to prevent missteps. This, in a nutshell, the thought of over seventeen thousand members of the historical society of dermatology U.S., which drafted the first guidelines for parents, children and adults who love tattoos and earrings of all kinds:
For parents and children: earrings and tattoos, even temporary, are not without risks. Can trigger a serious allergic reaction and leave indelible scars, even when performed in extreme safety. That's why doctors advise against them unto babes.
For the kids: if you do not want to wait a few years, know that it is not a good idea to pierce the edge of the ears, over the lobe. In this area is easier than you unleashing reactions and keloid.
And it is not a good idea to pierce other parts of the body, for the same reason. Never think of yourself alone, or with the help of a friend, piercing or tattoos because it is too risky. With your parents, always ask where to go to a dermatologist, if you do not want to give up. Once done, follow to the letter the instructions of the dermatologist on how to avoid infections and allergies.

The proper procedure for the treatment and care of the tattoo is a hotly debated topic and on which there is still a lot of confusion, as evidenced by the multitude of people, especially in the network, is constantly looking for information and especially the amount of knowledge and approximate often unfounded and the network itself are released.


It 'important to understand that your behavior in the first hours and days following the execution of the tattoo will have a role in determining the look that will have your tattoo over time to follow (in addition, of course, to avoid the occurrence of infections in' immediately).

 HOW TO TREAT A TATTOO JUST MADE

A tattoo done, the tattoo artist cleans and sterilizes the affected area and if necessary apply a bandage or a protective film.
You will probably leave instructions about how often to wash the tattoo and you will be given products for aftercare.

From the moment you leave behind the tattoo-shop, the responsibility for the success of the tattoo will be entirely in your hands.

During the first 2-4 hours from the study, do not remove the protection.
Expects to be at home or in a clean and comfortable environment, making sure to have an antibacterial soap to wash your hands.
After you have washed your hands, remove the bandage and wash the tattoo gently with your fingers (skin on skin) and warm water (the soap alters the pH and removes the layer of sebum which is the natural protection of the skin from external agents).
Wipe dry with paper towels or a clean towel.
Leave breathing for a few minutes, then wash your hands again and apply a thin layer of your aftercare product for massaging gently.

NOTE: The risk of infection is highest during the early hours of the execution of the tattoo.

Do not bandage over the tattoo unless there is a significant loss of fluids, a wide dress will be enough to protect him.
In case you need to attend environments at risk (full of dust and dirt) use a bandage to protect the skin but leave it breathe.

Before bed, wash the tattoo again following the instructions given and apply a thin layer of aftercare.
During the healing period will be sufficient to perform the washing of the tattoo once a day and apply a thin layer of aftercare 3 or 4 times a day.
As long as the skin is healed, avoid swimming pools, sea and beach, sauna and water sports.
Do not expose your tattoo to sunlight or tanning treatments.
The average time to healing of a tattoo varies from 10 to 21 days.
The use of a good product of aftercare not only prevents infections but also irritation and heartburn and prevents the formation of crusts that, if scrape away, could lead to loss of color in the areas of the tattoo concerned.

LONG-TERM CARE TATTOO

Remember: when we look at a tattoo, we see it through the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.
E 'therefore evident the importance of taking the necessary precautions to ensure that this layer of skin heals in the best conditions remaining healthy and integral in time.
If the skin is proven and not properly treated, the appearance of the tattoo will suffer back, appearing pale and dim.

A healing has occurred have to worry about keeping the skin hydrated and healthy (to avoid harsh detergents), and you should always protect your tattoo from the sun with adequate sunscreen (the sun is the number one enemy of tattoos).

The One Direction, the British band that crazy teenagers around the world have been forced to cancel a post from Facebook and Twitter because they encouraged their fans (most of whom are minors) to get tattooed.

The members of the group are famous for having different tattoo on your body. First of all, Harry Styles, former boyfriend of Taylor Swift, who just recently debuted a new design  on the chest. It is a coarse throttle, as shown in this picture published on Flickr from tattooist, Lyam Sparkse. The face of the singer is not visible in the shot, but it is recognizable by other tattoo that appear on Harry's arm. It seems that the beautiful 19 year old can count about 30 tattoos on his skin, including a warship, a cage for birds, theatrical masks and various phrases.

A survey examined what are the factors that shuts the desire and attraction when they meet a person of the opposite sex. The survey was conducted in Britain and involved about 500 people.

The first factor "takes charm" for women are tattoos, with 37% of men surveyed who have put in the first place among the most unpleasant, and 78% in the "top 5". In second place, bad breath.

"Many women desire to have tattoos and consider them beautiful, but men consider it unattractive: unfeminine and flashy," says a senior ECigaretteDirect, which commissioned the survey (the interest of the company, in fact, was in particular to understand how was perceived as smoking)

For women, however, who takes away the charm factor is the beard, distasteful to 33% of the respondents. In this case the second bad breath.

Here is a list of the top 5 most unwelcome to men and women:

men

Tattoos (37%)

Too many piercings (10%)
Bitten nails (8%)

Who would have thought that, besides the risks that can be run in making a tattoo under hygienic conditions are not perfect, it is also undesirable effect that often you get a tattoo done!
The considerations that we want to draw inspiration from some news also came to prominence in the news about some football clubs that have banned or strongly discouraged in their athletes get tattooed.
Real Madrid has banned the players get any tattoo design on the body, without the permission of the company. To convince the president Ramón Calderón to enforce strict was the team's medical staff, so tattoos are a hotbed of infection and therefore may affect the health of the players.
A similar story concerns the Werder Bremen has categorically forbidden tattoos to players, after which found serious problems in some of these septic and had to stop a few training sessions for the pain caused tattoos athletes, preventing them from wear even clothing.
The doctors, not managers for reasons of image, have decided to stop this practice for reasons quite obvious if you think about the challenging regime of athletic training that could be affected by serious problems of infection.
From the USA received news of sockets similar position and, in this case, also other leaked rumors related to the fact that the preparatory some athletes peak would have detected a disturbance attributable to the performance of the sportsman itself. Performance precisely influenced by the presence of the tattoo.
We try to give an explanation consistent with the approach of Z-Health ® and makes reference to the neural system.
The importance of proprioceptive stimuli for the proper functioning of the neural system is ample evidence from neuroscience and all those who are entrusted to our practices already had concrete evidence and incontrovertible how even small stresses can subvert some reflections and determine the sudden fall of a muscle performance, whether it be of strength, quality and extent of movement or a complex combination of various factors as in the case of an athletic gesture at a professional level.

The tattoo is comparable, from the point of view neural, to a scar and as such the brain interprets it. I have a tattoo on his right calf? The brain map corresponding to the right leg will be in focus as the "injury" suffered is viewed as a possible point of vulnerability of the body. To illustrate, says the specialist, if you have a tattoo in a point of the body is likely to be seen as that part is not working perfectly and the brain puts in place all the necessary defensive strategies to protect it and not affaticarla too. On the other hand, much of the skin sensitivity may be impaired and also the pain caused at run time is stored by the brain very precisely.
"Of course, the successful completion of a tattoo and the choice of the area are not indifferent," continues the specialist, explaining that not all areas of the body are also innervated and not all professional tattoo artists operate with equal skill and conscience when the customer moves certain requests.
No wonder then if acting on an area tattooed on his right calf for example, you can not solve a bad back. The body tries balance and a weak point in a precise point propagates in accordance with precise laws to other parts of the body itself, sometimes diametrically opposite to where the discomfort or pain were initially manifested.
Beyond the decisions of Real Madrid and Werder Bremen, we are sure, lurk deeper reasons than simply decoration or protection of the image of the Club

You would be presented to the police station replacing his brother underwent probation to withdraw an authorization, but is unmasked and denounced.

The incident occurred days ago when a Spanish citizen, 29 years old, he showed up at the crime division of the police station to affix a visa on a permit issued by the court surveillance.

The men of the division crime, suspicious tattoos etched on human skin and compared with those of his brother recipient of the authorization, immediate investigations performed on the database to verify the exact identity.

Completed investigations of ritual and after checking the identification papers found in his apartment the man has been charged and the fact was given immediate notice to the office of surveillance.

Specific investigations are under way with Interpol to establish the date of arrest of the twin in Spain and with the same generality as both expatriate from Italy.

Liam Payne of One Direction spoke to Justin Bieber during a recent interview, saying he was happy not to be a solo singer.

According to Liam, it must be hard for Justin always have to do everything myself "In some ways I feel sorry for him, but do not say it with a sense of superiority. I know he has his friends around him who also go on tour with him. But it is not the same situation that we live of One Direction, as part of a band. "
Liam knows that Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson will always be there for each other, "If something bad will happen to me tomorrow, Louis will be there for me 100 percent. People sometimes ask me if I wanted to be a solo artist, but it just would not be any fun to be alone. "
On one hand it seems Justin still be able to handle it, on the other we are pleased to hear that all is well between the 1D, especially after the declaration of Robbie Williams.

In the last picture of Liam, you can see his new tattoo, the word "Everything I wanted but nothing I'll ever need".

Originally were cavemen. The tattoo derives from a prehistoric custom of marking the body's self through incisions irreversible. With special tools our ancestors led into under the skin, pigments or dyes.
Today, with globalization, the tattoo has spread throughout the world. Hampered in the past or encouraged depending on the meaning that took (and takes) in various contexts: spiritual, religious, sassy-infringing, pornographic, political or just decorative.
Tattoo or tattoo comes from a discovery that archaeologist James Cook in the eighteenth century, discovered in Polynesia the name "tattaw", indicating the use Polynesian, the act of coloring the body for religious purposes, a kind of baptism. Think of the Maori in New Zealand.
Today has maintained order to score and color parts of the body. These tracks graphics convey messages aesthetic and spiritual rituals of caste, symbolic, sometimes real, in the sense that indicate interest in something, love somebody, your name etc.. And they are more or less visible, of course, based on the clothes worn
There are many people - young and old - in recent years they feel the need to affect the body such drawings , and occupying more and more areas of the body. On the beaches it seems that the number of tattooed people is increasing compared to a few years ago.
To explain this phenomenon, there would be a search for identity. "I think the tattoo is not only a fashion trend - says psychologist Roberto Pani, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Bologna - but a growing need felt by young people, but also middle-aged individuals, to characterize their identity. "
Brad Pitt has a tattoo Otzi, the Iceman mummy, prehistoric man found more than 5000 years ago whose body were recorded almost 60 tattoos. Own study of these tattoos, at points on the skeleton of the mummy, however, has suggested an end the most magical and curative religious or ritual.
The tattoo can still beautify the body, prune symbolic conventions, show anarchy to the external power and defy time, in the sense of stopping in the imagination of the subject all that changes.
The tattoo does not change, but it is immortal. Dress is a permanent, an ability to resist the unwanted transformations using a piece of subjective identity, inimitable, not derubabile, an identity of self from which one can not be excluded. It is a kind of new clothes (especially when the whole body is tattooed), customized for "eternity. '" In other words, refers to the size of the dream.
We may conclude that the young  need to dream and search for identity.
"They want more security, more certainty in the values, love, and not least in the work - continues the psychologist - that is to first find and then it would be interesting...to believe in people, in the sense of being able to trust them, they would find consistency and less materialism. So occupy a symbolic colored dress, playful, joyful, they want to be visible. the master and say, this is mine, no one can take from me, I want to see something I've wanted for me, and protect me by unjust not see me and I do not consider ".

Japan comes from the "Tooth art", the art of decorating the teeth. Enthusiasm to the stars for the young Japanese, thanks to these "non-permanent decorations" can sing the "look of their teeth" with their clothing.

And here's the latest fad that comes from Japan and that, according to experts, should in time not too long to get to shake even the European market and beyond. We are talking about the "Tooth art", the art of decorating your teeth.

It's not really an invention made in Japan, but it is there that is starting to have some success. Furthermore, it is not a simple drawing to tattoo, over the incision, in fact, the teeth of those who lend themselves to this "new trend" is also used with small diamonds, or at least something shiny that can draw the attention of who sees it. The young Japanese seem crazy for this new trend mainly because it is not permanent can therefore be changed, and then the decorations can be from time to time coupled with the look that performs in that particular day.

Yes, you read right: the "decoration" can also be removed in style "throwaway" that the Japanese have taught us. In fact, the tattoo on the teeth is a fairly simple process, and also safe, listening to the testimonies of those who have already tried. The design and decorative elements, are used on teeth with a special glue that is made by drying a led light. Precisely for this reason, even after a few days would be possible to remove it in case of decides to change the type of decoration.

The "Tooth art", as anticipated, it is not a Japanese invention: for some time has been in vogue in the United States, but has not met with the same success that instead is having in Japan. In fact, after the "Nail art", the art of decorating nails, also this particular type of "beautification" of parts of the human body seems to be to say the least liked by the Japanese, who are pouring on this "new entry "all who had expressed enthusiasm for the previous" art ".

Recently a strange, but terrifying news has done in no time around the web. A New York woman would tattoo the body of his son just nine months. The tattoo also appears to be very large and you can only imagine the pain you have felt the baby. As reported by the news, the babysitter became aware of the incident and called the police. The child's mother was arrested.

Fortunately, the information has been totally discredited, the photos of the little creature tattooed were only fake: it is a baby made ​​of vinyl rubber.

The non-permanent henna tattoos containing parafenildiammina can cause severe skin reactions on contact and cross-sensitization. The Department of Evaluation of Cosmetic Products French points out that, since January 2004 have been notified AFSSAPS, the French agency of the drug, many cases of contact eczema delayed, secondary application of a non-permanent henna tattoo. This type of tattoo is considered a cosmetic product and consists of a preparation of henna often added with PPD, an ingredient that gives it a dark color (black) to the tattoo and allows him to stay longer on the skin. PPD is a drug of limited use in cosmetic products , which can only be used in hair dyes at a given concentration.
Given the success of this type of tattoo, the appearance of cases of contact eczema is then, according to the Afssaps, a public health problem, also as a consequence of the fact that occurs often a sensitization to PPD with unpleasant consequences on life daily and / or professional people affected by it. In fact, the PPD can cause severe allergic reactions, which may also require urgent medical attention and even hospitalization. You can also establish a cross-sensitization and, sometimes, people are forced to change profession. L 'Afssaps racomanda to undertake information campaigns on the risks and consequences that can meet the population groups most at risk, such as children, adolescents and adults at a young age. This will be used travel agencies, consumer groups and magazines.
The issue was brought to the attention of the Council of Europe and is still being studied.

At 18 decide for themselves. But before? How to deal with tattoo mania, security motivations


Of the three million "tattooed" in Italy, largely comprised of young adults, but more and more young people who dream tattoo and piercing, even if to win them over, before the age of 18, parental consent is essential . Tattoo we talked last Saturday in Milan, at the conference "Teens and look" organized by Laboratory Adolescence, born by the working group meeting on the theme, with students in Milan.

How Joice, 17, waiting 18 years for tattooing: two wings on the back with the initials of her mother and grandmother, "Not so great - he says -. I do not see to do it but for meaning. " While Christopher - music lover - is "negotiating" with the permission of the parents for a large treble clef tattoo on his arm. And if in a few years were to pass the passion for rock music? "It does not matter - he says - still featured a part of my life and it's okay if it leaves an indelible mark." Why, we must remember, the tattoo is almost indelible. Lucrezia Frasin, a dermatologist at the Hospital of Lecco, explained that "the techniques for laser tattoo removal are long, expensive and never completely decisive, because if they can remove the color (green, for example, is a shade closer not eliminate) the skin clears. " But there is this awareness in 15 years? If not always, as we said Joice, there are also those - "idiots" - which is tattooed the initials of the boy. How much more ephemeral exists at that age ...

Who says no - Initial aside, tattoos 'standard' that go out of fashion among the young are tribal symbols, the symbol of infinity, animals. Wrists, shoulders, hips and lower back the "location" most popular for the girls arms for the boys. But also increase the tattoos more visible on the neck and hands (a row of rings tattooed). Silvia is 16 years old: "A visible tattoo would never do that, because it could have implications in the search for a job." Comforting thought, especially considering how difficult it is today to find a job, even without tattoos.

And the parents? Tattomania what they think of the children? Federica is 21 years old and now has nine tattoos. But first, a butterfly on her hip, she did in 15 years and, therefore, with the consent of mother Tina who says: "I gave in to the insistence, without enthusiasm, with conditions as it was small and in a place not visible . After the first has arrived the second, with the same characteristics. Then he turned 18 years old and, of course, decide on its own. " In getting a tattoo (or piercing), however, attention to "security." Lucrezia Frasin remember that a tattoo is not completely risk-free (because you may be allergic, without knowing it, one of the components injected), but stresses that the health and hygiene guarantees that the structure that runs it can give are very important for minimize the risks.

Laury said that when he consented to his daughter Martha, fourteen, put the Brillantino on the nose, visited many facilities. First requirements searches: cleaning, reliability empathic the "piercers" and the feeling of professionalism of the structure.

The association and the rules - but beyond the sensations and in the absence of a "register of tattoo artists," which does not exist in Italy, how to navigate? Only in Milan there are hundreds of "centers tattoos" (and piercing): those with websites articolatissimi, to the shops with the words barely Tattoo 'tattooed' on a sticker. Not to mention the improvisers. As the friend of Maria, 15, who tried with the needle, at home, give her a tongue piercing, operation aborted along the way.

Bruno Valsecchi, President dell'Aptpt (professional tattoo artists and piercers Association Italian) points out that professionals are constantly involved in the field of security and quality of service offered by the centers associated with tattoos and piercings, and even in a regulatory landscape Italian frastagliatissimo and different from region to region, the association has drawn up for the use of users, "Evaluation parameters of a professional tattoo and body piercing" to help you select the better.

Lately jumped the headlines news of the arrival of a new type of laser to remove the tattoo, ready to give a hard time to all predecessors.

In February, a team of Greek doctors has published the results of the trial '"R20" (his name) in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (American Academy of Dermatology).

Despite the execution of four steps of the laser on the affected area, spaced 20 minutes apart, went to cause further damage to the surface layer of the skin (compared to classical laser single pass), there were no reported side effects or scars and the amount of pigment removed and destroyed was far superior.

Dr. Keyvan Nouri, professor of dermatologic surgery at the "Miller School of Medicine", University of Miami, confirmed the results of research when his team has tested the laser on his patients.
The use dell'R20 completely removed the pigment in 61% of the treated areas, has also cleared professional tattoos with an effective 70% higher than the single-step method.

The new technology provides the longest and most expensive seats, but, according to Nouri this could soon become the standard in tattoo removal.

Dr. Mitchell Chasin, director of "Reflections Center for Skin and Body" in Livingston, NJ, says with conviction: "There is only one way to decrease the number of seats, it is also the best way to maintain a good appearance of the skin after removal ", but Mitchell also warns potential patients: treatment success strongly depends on the preparation of the medical staff and the use of the equipment.

In short, as with all technologies, it is not enough in the studio, you know how to use!

Israeli advertising agency wants to commemorate the Holocaust distributing the cards with temporary tattoos that replicate the numbers engraved on the skin of the survivors of the concentration camps.
In Israel, the Holocaust Memorial Day this year falls on April 7. The purpose of the company Baumann-Ber-Rivnay, local subsidiary of Saatchi & Saatchi, is to use youth organizations to spread the cards for public ceremonies across the country. Each ticket has also printed a bar code to be scanned with a mobile phone or computer: With this code, you arrive at a website that has recorded a video testimony of the man or woman who has tattooed the same number.
The campaign, created for educational purposes by a company, however, has the purpose of making a profit, has the support of organizations that help the survivors of the Holocaust and ensures that will be carried out with caution, without hurting the feelings. In Israel, however, the initiative has sparked a lot of controversy, however.

Should not be reproduced or perpetuated. It 'a horror that has been imposed. We must strengthen the link between the new generation and the memory of the Holocaust, but not so. "

Marcus Boykin is a tattoo artist, well known in his environment, and his body was covered with tattoos and piercings: every day we add a new one because "if I do not feel the needle is as if I were losing my purpose in life." But his extreme tattoos are so scary to terrify even her daughter, just 5 years.
Marcus Boyikin, aka calling itself The Creature, and is destined to become the star of the new reality show based on the Venice Beach Freakshow.

More and more people decide to 'remove' a tattoo that does not like it anymore. A new trend that the dermatologist Will Kirby has called 'Tatooff'.

Will Kirby, American dermatologist, has coined a new term: Tatooff, which is the most sought always required to remove from the body tattoos that do not like anymore. Kirby on the removal of tattoos has built his career with more than 50,000 operations assets. As published in The Washington Post, 40% of Americans between the ages of 26 and 40 years performing at least one tattoo, a new trend to remove them may also prove to be a considerable business, if you think that to remove a tattoo of media size (about two inches) are required from ten to fifteen laser sessions (each with a monthly basis) to about 300 euro each. In Italy it is estimated that about one in four young and tattooed, although it is still a phenomenon in America, requests for 'detatuaggio' are increased considerably. According to Anna Maria Veronesi, a dermatologist and professor of the Master in Aesthetic Medicine at the University of Pavia, 'especially using the Q-switched Alexandrite laser, which affects only the colored pigment frantumandolo without damaging the surrounding tissue. Delete the black well, which is always easier to remove the color, but the blue, green and brown, while, if the design is colored red, which is one of the loveliest shade, you will require the laser ND Yag Q-Switched 532, characterized by a very high power and a shortest pulse 'Warning to yellow: it is virtually impossible to eliminate.

The tattoo on the one hand is the desire of transgression, the other belonging to a group. But as teenagers we often "decorates" for fashion and underestimates the choice, which is for life. It is better not to have it clear, in fact, because they run the risk to health.

Because he wants
Fashion is the main reason. Having it means to feel glamorous and part of a group. I do not mean it to be outside. "The speech may seem trivial, but it is for a teenager, so the identification with peers is crucial," explains Erica Gardinetti. "But the tattoo is also a sign of distinction, uniqueness, transgression and rebellion. Adolescents at this stage of their lives, looking for their own identity and independence and want to break away from parental control, even decorandosi the body. " Less common is the tattoo done for a surprising event such as a wedding or a radical change of life.

If parents do not agree ...
In most cases, the parents do not agree that a young child will face a tattoo, even if they themselves have, in turn, one. The fear is that if they repent. "But the authoritarian prohibition only heightens the desire for a child with the risk that perform equally, even in centers where illegal immigrants are not complied with the rules of hygiene," says psychologist Gardinetti. So what to do? The ideal is to find a compromise. Before you say "no" absolute, assess the reasons for the request. If the desire is a manifestation of a sign of rebellion against parents, it will be difficult to be negative and the risk that the teenager to do the same, maybe low cost is very high. If the desire is born from the fashion and the fact that all my friends have it, you can try to communicate with the child, take your time and give yourself a "time" together to see if the desire passes. In both cases, however, if the situation degenerates, better to give consent and accompany the child to an authorized and safe, rather than endanger the health risk to do it illegally. If necessary, try to "treat" the symbol to draw. A little star on the ankle than he can support the design of a huge dragon on his arm. In fact, if the request is too large, it can hide a sorrow and harmony with your body that expresses itself trying to imbruttirlo (like a problem such as anorexia) and is to be explored with psychological counseling. Finally, always remember that the adolescent tattoo will delete it forever because it is not easy, it requires several sessions and submit to unknown dangers to health.

There are loves that you want to erase all memory or signs of fashions become "out" or worse gross errors in spelling such as "beautiful view" on the back of the `American Hayden Panettiere (pictured). Nothing to worry about when the tracks are to be forgotten in the pages of a diary. L `deal gets complicated when it is being unwanted is the tattoo. And removing it is not always possible.
Colors "Much depends on the colors used - explains dermatologist Marina Romagnoli - there are pigments that make it difficult to remove the tattoo can, like green." Other colors, then, once on the skin, they take different nuances over time, "the colors and the white meat easily change color becoming darker."
I regret the tattoo may use the technology. "If there are no allergic reactions or act in the formation of granulomas, which require any surgery - explains the specialist - you can use the laser: the type Q-Switched is safer and more effective because the beam removes the pigment but not destroys the cells of the skin, leaving scars. " It is good to know that the treated area should not be exposed to UV light (either the sun lamps) for at least a month after each session. "The applications vary depending on the tattoo, the kind of color, size, depth," says Romagnoli. A small Japanese ideogram goes away in two or three sessions, while a tribal, bigger and full, it can take as many as 12 sessions. Cost also varies depending on the number of sessions and the complexity of the intervention, from 150 € to 1000 of the most difficult treatments. "Sometimes to make longer work - says dermatologist - is the presence of tattoos with overlapping colors that appear only with the progress of the sessions." What happens when an old tattoo reappears in what you are removing.
Even those who choose the tattoo "hit-and-run" all under the `umbrella` henna can go against some slight drawback. "Red, for example - said the expert - gives more easily allergic reactions, although it is less durable and last for less then any trouble." The rethinking or removal is not necessary, since they disappear in a few weeks, but some discomfort They will always worry. "They can also give photosensitivity - says Romagnoli -, a party may swell, causing itching or blisters may appear."
Even in the seaside town, for tattoos are indelible, must never escape the precautions. "Undergo always tattoo only in appropriate locations - feel the specialist - make sure that the tattoo artist always use sterile or disposable materials, and avoid walking if you want to continue to go to the beach the next few days to avoid photo-exposed areas of the skin." A word of warning: in any case, avoid tattoos repairers. A tip for the Baker, in which a tattoo artist-calligrapher not quite in tune with the Italian language has left on the skin an "i" in more than is necessary in the phrase "Living without rimimpianti."

Tattoos, yes, but judiciously. Under examination by the prosecutor of Turin are finished samples of tattoo inks used in a center of the capital in Turin, in which an initial investigation would be present aromatic amines, chemicals harmful to health. The risk is that they may cause alterations in DNA with carcinogenic effects, explains Simone Garcovich, the Department of Dermatology at the Policlinico Gemelli in Rome.
Toxic pigments? - "The chemical transformation of these substances - explains the specialist -,` accelerated by exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation) and monochromatic light (laser) may result in the formation of aromatic amines and other reactive derivatives. " Those found in the pigments finished on the table of sosituto prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello, produced by a company in San Ferdinando di Puglia, have been banned by the Council of Europe in 2008, but there were indications on the packaging required by law.
What are the risks? - The chemicals used in the pigments used in tattoos were not originally manufactured to be injected in high density in the skin. An example? "In particular, it was shown that the azo pigments such as red - says the expert` -, undergo transport processes and chemical decomposition when injected into the skin.

Metals or natural? - The pigments used are metal salts and, more recently, organic pigments. In either case, be careful. "Those containing metal salts (chromium, cadmium, cobalt, nickel) - explains Garcovich - can cause allergic reactions and hypersensitivity." With all those `Henna, temporary but extracts from plants, the music does not change," because commonly added with para-phenylenediamine (PPD), composed of allergenic used to enhance the color and fixing Entries henna. " Even in this case the unpleasant surprise may be called "allergic dermatitis".
I have psoriasis: what to do? - Persons suffering from skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, lupus, lichen "it is good to refer to a dermatologist to evaluate the risks and complications related to the fulfillment of the tattoo."

Tips for a safe-tattoo - If its not there to deny the whim of body-art "the advice is to consult a professional tattoo studios, which comply with the directives of the Ministry of health claims related to infectious prophylaxis," emphasizes Garcovich, recalling some basic precautions: "Prefer drawings too fragmented in areas of skin exposed to the sun and preferably of one color." A micro-tattoo, then, it is always easier to "wash away" if it becomes the trope than a `greatest work. Still, the tattoo-room will be more secure if, as requested by the Italian Association `tattoo (Atir), they will come clear rules and official records.
