Tattoo artists usually make their client feel comfortable to prepare them for the tattoo making process. They usually talk to the client about how they would go about making the tattoos and whether the tattoo would take one session or multiple sessions. They offer right tips on aftercare for tattoos. To make the tattoos, artists today use nitrile gloves and sterilized equipment. This ensures that the client does not get infected. Tattoo machines are available in various forms today, from two needle to five needle setup, depending on the shading that has to be done. After the tattoo is made, it is covered in some form of bandage or covering, as the skin is sore. The covering has to come off within an hour so that the skin can breathe and heal. After removing the bandage, the tattoo needs to be washed using only warm water and anti bacterial soap. After it's washed, a soft cloth should be used to damp it. An ointment can be used to keep the tattooed area cool and help it heal. Too much ointment can cause the tattoo or the skin to suffocate.

After care for tattoos include protecting the skin from the sun and extreme cold. The heat of the sun can cause skin tanning and thereby creating soreness. However, extreme cold temperature is helpful in healing the skin, but it can cause a frost bite. Some more traditional forms of ointment are also helpful in healing the skin, for example cold fermentation. People sometimes think that creating a tattoo is the end of the process. The point is that getting a tattoo made and then maintaining it is a lifelong process. It's a beautiful piece of art and it needs to be taken care of properly.
