Discover the Importance of Tattoo Care

Discover the Importance of Tattoo Care


Keep The Bandage On The Tattoo

Often it can be really difficult to keep the bandage on when you so desperately want to show it off to all of your friends. Use this simple rule of new tattoo care to build suspense instead of to disappoint. Tell your friends that it will look even better if they wait to see it. Or, depending on the location, you could conceal the bandage with clothing and only tell your friends that you got it when it is ready to be in the open air.

Don't Let Curiosity Ruin Your New Tattoo

A lot of people ignore this simple rule of tattoo aftercare because not only do they want to show it off to their friends, they are curious themselves to see it again. Although they have already seen it themselves, before it was bandaged, most people believe that it must be changing, somehow. Rationally, everyone assumes it is not changing, but we are more than aware of how it feels to want to look at it yourself. We have experienced this many times!

A Detailed History of Tattoos

A Detailed History of Tattoos


A Brief Tattoo History

Many people, in writing a brief tattoo history, state that the practice began in ancient Egypt. The name for the practice, however, comes from the Tahitian word 'tatau' which means "to mark something." Purely etymologically speaking, it seems unlikely that the practice was isolated to Egypt and cultures in contact with it. Researchers have found evidence of it being done in areas as distant as Alaska, Peru and New Zealand. It is most likely that it does not have one and only one source, but rather that it was begun, independently, in various parts of the world.

Tribal Tattoo History

We can give you more information on the very developed tribal tattoo history. Many ancient tribes all across the world used the practice to show who was a member of which tribe. In addition to showing allegiance or membership, designs and locations of markings could show the status of various members of a tribe. For men, markings often showed warrior feats that had been accomplished, whereas women's symbols showed first that they were of adult age and then again a new marking when they became married. Such practices are attested to in many regions of the world.
