veterinarians and the animals are anaesthetized to prevent pain."

The Tattoo Portal - Free Henna Tattoo Pattern: "Procedure:
Some tribal cultures still create tattoos by cutting designs into the skin and
rubbing the resulting wound with ink, ashes or other agents. This may be an
adjunct to scarification. Some cultures create tattooed marks by 'tapping' the
ink into the skin using sharpened sticks or animal bones. Traditional Japanese
tattoos (irezumi) are still 'hand-poked,' that is, the ink is inserted beneath
the skin using non-electrical, hand-made and hand held tools with needles of
sharpened bamboo or steel"

Infection from tattooing in clean and modern tattoo studios is rare.
Potential infections include everything from surface infections of the
skin to Staphylococcus aureus infections that can cause cardiological
damage. People who are susceptible to infection should know the dangers
abrading the skin can have and should consult a physician before getting
a tattoo.
The risk of infection also be reduced by following obvious precautions.
Shops should appear clean; sinks with hot water and soap should be
available in the bathroom as well as in the studio; tattooers should
wash their hands regularly and wear latex gloves; surfaces should be
cleaned with disinfectant and floors should appear clean; proper
procedures for sterilizing equipment should also be followed strictly"

The Tattoo Portal - Celtic Armband Tattoo: "Diseases -
Since tattoo instruments come in contact with blood and bodily fluids,
diseases may be transmitted if the instruments are used on more than one
person without being sterilized.
Most reputable tattoo shops use fresh disposable needles for each client
and sterilize reusable instruments between clients using an autoclave.
Universal precautions, such as washing the hands, wearing latex gloves
and the thorough cleaning of floors and surfaces, also reduce the risk
of disease.
In addition, it is important that needles and other instruments do not
come in contact with inks that will be used on other clients. To avoid
contamination, small amounts of ink are poured from larger bottles into
disposable cups. These are used on one client, once only, and are
discarded when the session ends. The tattooer should know and discuss
the risks of disease in tattooing."

The Tattoo Portal - Animal Flash Tattoo: "Prevalence
Many celebrities, particularly in the music industry, wear tattoos, but
there are many others who have tattoos but generally keep them covered.
In some areas, tattoos still have a largely negative image. This is
particularly true in East Asian countries and regions, where tattoos are
still generally associated with criminality in the public's mind;
therefore those who choose to be tattooed in such countries usually keep
their tattoos covered for fear of reprisal. For example, many businesses
such as gyms, hot springs and recreational facilities in Japan still ban
people with visible tattoos"

Tattoo Gun:
A tattoo gun, is a gun-shaped machine for creating a tattoo, i.e.
marking skin with ink. Tattoo machines utilize
electromagnetic coils in alternation to move the needle bar up and down,
which drives the pigment into the skin.
The term tattoo gun is popular in Europe. In America, it is most often
called a tattoo machine, and many a tattooist will become quite angry
with you for using the term tattoo gun. In America it is simply
considered na�ve to call it a 'gun' even though everyone knows exactly
what is meant by the term 'tattoo gun', the subsequent intimidation
seems calculated to alienate non-conformity to the tattoo culture.
The basic machine was invented by Thomas Edison, and patented in the
United States in 1876, as the autographic printer, which was intended as
an engraving device. In 1891, Samuel O'Reilly found Edison's machine
could be modified to introduce ink into skin, and patented the tube and
needle system, which is still in use today. In fact, modern tattoo
machines are essentially the same machine as the one O'Reilly invented.
Most tattoo machines can control needle depth to almost any degree and
thanks to this control, tattooing has become a very precise art form, so
precise that facial tattooing has become popular in the United States of
America. The procedure is called dermapigmentation or 'permanent
cosmetics'.
