What disinfecting products are used for cleaning a tattoo machine and during a tattoo?

Friday, January 30th, 2009

kaylee s asked:

I’m curious as to what the artist uses when they spray this orangy kinda liquid on the tattoo to wipe off excess ink. Do they also use alcohol? Also, what is the “green soap” they use to clean the gun. I know that the soap is mixed with distilled water, but is it like an antibacterial soap?

Elianna. asked:

I honestly don’t know anything about the process of getting a tattoo. The tattoo I want is about 2×2 and I want it all black, so no color.

It’s the “C” on the left side.

Is it smart to get a tattoo and piercing done at the same time?

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

dr. p asked:

Hey guys,

In celebration of my med school graduation my plan is to get my ****** piercings and tattoo done on the same day…

The tattoo will be on the left chest, and I was just wondering if it’s a problem with the two being done at the same time and in such close proximity to each other?

Have any of you done both at the same time before?

Thanks in advance.

How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

curious asked:

I know they say stay out of the water for at least 2 weeks, etc. But does anyone know if a tattoo will heal faster on certain parts of the body? If so, which parts and how long?
