I'll start with the worst. Many people come to us with a request to get a tattoo on the wrist, ankles, between the fingers, and we refuse them! Usually I try to explain the reason and suggest another, more suitable place. Most heed the advice of the master, but there are those who firmly stand their ground - I want a tattoo on my wrist, period!

Let's take a look at where it is better not to get a tattoo and why.

Why not?

In these figures, bad zones for drawing are marked. The places where it is not desirable to make a tattoo are painted in yellow, and in red where it is not worth stuffing anything at all.

These zones do not suit us for several reasons:

• The greatest friction with clothes
• Specific structure of the skin
• Maximum deformation angles

What can, and often happens, with tattoos stuffed in these places? It's simple, they start to swim ...

And it's not about bad paints, craftsman, needles. It doesn't matter who will make a tattoo in these places, the result is often the same. Of course, it happens when, for example, an ankle tattoo lasts a long time, but this is rather an exception. The skin on the feet is very tough and has a slightly different structure, which contributes to the blurring of the paint.

If you decided to get a tattoo, then try to invest in it semantic load so that it reflects a certain period of your life or starts this period.

Many years ago, when the author of this text decided to acquire a body ornament, the concept of "tattoo parlor" was as familiar and familiar as the Martian folk dances. That's why the question was WHERE to get a tattoo basically.

One of the artist friends, without further ado, pulled out the engine from the parental hair dryer, took a transparent frame from a ballpoint pen, the first string and made a miracle device. They stuffed the drawing at home, blotting with an alcohol, not the most sterile, cloth. I was lucky, the infection did not work. And after a couple of days became the proud owner of his first tattoo. But since the paints that my friend Zheka used were of dubious, Chinese quality, and the work technology was not exactly not respected, he simply did not know it, my masterpiece of body art soon blurred and turned blue. So for many years, before there were tattoo parlors and the opportunity to redo my drawing, I walked around with a strange blurry ornament on my arm.

So definitely should be weighed in advance all for and against. First you need to formulate for yourself the answer to the question WHY you need it.
And if the reason for the appearance of a tattoo on your body is similar to:

“My Seryozhenka loves crocodiles, I will make him happy!”

“Oh, that's cool! Everyone is wearing tattoos right now!”

then, most likely, the fulfillment of your dream should be postponed.

Tattoos have long ceased to cause surprise among others, and true professionals in their field are not even hindered when applying for a job. There are more and more people who want to decorate their body with an intricate pattern. Perhaps you are one of them too. Before visiting a tattoo parlor, you may have questions, such as where is the best place to place the drawing, what tattoo styles currently exist, etc.

website learned the answers to common questions about tattoos to prepare you for your visit to the tattoo parlor.

Knees and shin

When the tattoo heals, swelling appears on the calves, passing to the foot, so for the first days do not overload yourself with long walks, sports, when caring for a tattoo, do not pull your leg with bandages or a diaper. On the calves and lower legs, tattoos in the styles of Chicano, Muerte, as well as portraits look great. Examples of works in these styles are further in the article.

The knee is not the most popular place for tattoos: the patella is located close to the skin, the pain is much more noticeable. The skin here is quite rough, the pigment may fall out over time (the elements and the contour will lose the desired coating density). An image of a round or oval shape will look cool. It is better to refrain from compositions with too small details.

Hip

Do you want to decorate your legs with a three-dimensional image? The optimal places are the hips, and the outer and lateral sides are most often chosen, since these are the least painful areas. Tattoos on the hips can float under certain conditions.

The point here is not only a change in the skin, but also a change in weight in one direction or another. Be prepared to keep fit. Tattoos of a small size are less prone to deformation. Tattoos in the style of realism, old school, traditional or neotrada will look stylish on the hips.

Back

The back is an excellent "canvas" for large-scale paintings with many small details, or for several smaller tattoos. The skin is smooth, not too rough and almost not subject to deformation - the tattoo will remain in its original form for quite some time. But caring for such a tattoo is much more difficult, and you can only see the drawing in the mirror.

Drawing a tattoo in the entire back will require 5 sessions or more. It is better to think over the sketch in advance and discuss it with the master: drawings in different styles on one part of the body will look awkward, some are generally difficult to match. Popular subjects for a tattoo on the back: realistic images of predators, floral ornaments, Japanese-style tattoos, biomechanics and organics.

Neck and chest

Symmetry will look better than others on the chest, especially in oriental, trash polka and organic styles. And on the neck, the pattern can either be placed on one of the sides, or put in a circle. Thin, airy lines and patterns are appropriate here for girls or more massive elements for men.

The skin on the neck and chest is tender and sensitive, so it is more painful to apply the drawing, the tattoo heals longer. You can use an anesthetic, but then more sessions will be required, because the paint falls worse. If you are allergic, ask the master to conduct a test and check how your skin reacts to a particular paint. This is very rare, but studies show that some people are allergic to red ink.

Hands and fingers

Applying a tattoo on the hands and fingers is a filigree work that requires the experience and accuracy of the master, a beginner will not be able to do it here. These are the most open areas of the body, the skin on them is subjected to strong external influences, friction, as a result of which it is updated. Because of this, the pattern wears out quickly and requires correction.

There is little fat and muscle in these areas, but there are a lot of nerve endings that make the drawing very painful. It is not worth making a tattoo between the fingers: the drawing will blur, instead of the original picture, a spot will “show off” on you. Simple geometric shapes, patterns, letters in the blackwork style are suitable for decorating fingers and hands. The best place to apply is the outer part of the brush from the wrist to the nails.

Hands and "sleeves"

Hands are one of the most popular and least painful places to get tattoos. If you do not want to immediately make a large area tattoo, start, for example, from the wrist. Small contour work in color or black and white tattoos with a small amount of detail will look good here. “Don’t get too small”: over time, the font can become blurry and unreadable.

You can score one section of the limb, or several, by connecting the tattoo into a beautiful “sleeve”. Think over the future "sleeve" in advance: sometimes it is difficult to weave disparate elements into a single ensemble. The most successful styles for the "sleeve" are biomechanics, chicano, neotrad, Japanese, new school, graphics and realism.

Shameful questions to the tattoo artist

Going to a tattoo parlor is a responsible event, you should prepare for it in advance. To be savvy in the subject, read the information on the studio's website or in its groups in social networks: the main points of the work are covered there. Every now and then there are people asking the same questions. Masters unanimously classify them as indecent. Check it out so you don't get confused.

Why so expensive? Can I have a discount?

As a rule, each master has his own style and preferences. If you like the direction in which he works, welcome, if not, look for another master. It is permissible to express wishes in the spirit of "a green butterfly instead of a blue one", but nothing more. For example, removing characteristic contours from an old-school style drawing is not an option at all.

Taking a random picture from the internet and asking for the exact same one is a bad idea. Masters can take someone else's idea as a basis and refine it, taking into account their preferences. Only an unscrupulous or greedy tattoo artist will undertake to copy someone else's drawing.

I want a temporary tattoo. Are you doing?

There are no temporary tattoos. Does the tattoo artist say otherwise? Rather, run away from such a salon, in front of you is a scammer who is eager to cash in on your ignorance. You will be given a regular tattoo with poor quality ink, which will fade in a couple of years, and the image will lose its presentation.

As for laser tattoo removal, today there is no such technology that would make it possible to reduce a tattoo without a trace and remove contours, areas with dense staining. If, out of ignorance, you ran into a non-professional, it is better to make an overlap of a beautiful and high-quality tattoo.

Does the salon also deal with temporary bio-tattoo, which are applied with henna? No, but there is also no reason to categorically deny this direction. Like tattoos themselves, the art of body painting has a rich and distinctive history.

The tradition of painting the body with dyes of natural origin originated many centuries ago. It originates on the islands of Oceania, Australia, Africa, North America. Here, the painting was used during rituals, religious ceremonies, in order to emphasize the status of a warrior or hunter. Also, by colors and patterns, belonging to a particular tribe was often determined.

Painting mehndi with henna is one of the most famous, and at the same time, original examples of persistent body painting. By “lasting”, we mean the ability of such a pattern to stay on the skin for several weeks. Around the 12th century, mehndi gained a foothold in India, becoming more than just an ornament. Henna patterns were considered as a protective amulet that brought good luck. Most often, they decorated the hands, as well as the forearms and legs of the bride. The main motives of such images are religious symbols and signs of fertility.

Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa and the countries of the North East have their own unique mehndi traditions. We will focus on how to make a temporary henna tattoo in Moscow.

How to make a temporary henna tattoo

To prepare the dye for mehndi, henna leaves are used - they are dried and then ground into powder. Ready henna for painting has a brown color. Does this composition have something in common with henna for hair? No, hair henna is made from leaves from the lower branches - they have less coloring power.

The coloring composition is aged on the skin for about 1 hour, then washed off. As a result, you get a drawing that can last for several weeks.

How much does it cost to get a henna tattoo in a salon? The cost depends on the complexity and size of the work. On the other hand, even a complex henna pattern will cost much less than a real tattoo.

What kind of tattoo to get?

Bio-tattoo has many advantages: environmental friendliness and painlessness, no age restrictions, affordable price and, of course, their temporary nature.

You can apply henna patterns on any part of the body - on the arms, legs, back, neck or lower back. Professional salons always have catalogs with sketches designed specifically for bio-tattoo. Here you will find a variety of drawings that can emphasize the chosen style or dignity of the figure.
