What should be the paint for the tattoo?

A few years ago, a tattoo created with the help of a drawing carcass was the limit of the dreams of everyone who wanted to decorate his body. To date, the palette for applying the tattoo has expanded to such an extent that even the most demanding of the colors will be completely satisfied. Leading pigment manufacturers regularly replenish the number of beautiful colors, and the quality of the paint for the tattoo has improved significantly lately.

Absolutely any paint is a combination of several chemicals. And they, in turn, interact not only with each other, but also with the environment in which they are located. When we talk about buying paint for windows or for gates, we rarely think about its composition, quality and manufacturer. And if it's about our body, then every little thing becomes very important.

So, you decided to put a tattoo, chose a drawing and decided on the color scheme. But how not to be mistaken and not to harm the body? What should be the paint for the tattoo?

First of all, safe. This implies the presence of three characteristics: sterility, non-toxicity and hypoallergenicity.

Plus, the paint for the tattoo should have stability and stability. Over the years, ingredients such as soot, minerals, ocher, plant extracts have ensured the clarity and stability of the pattern. But today much has changed, including the composition of paints. Now one of the main ingredients of the paint are pigments. And if their quality leaves much to be desired, then the tattoo can quickly "shed" or even completely change the color.

The quality paint for the tattoo must be inert. Due to this quality, it will not interact with liquids in the body, in particular with blood and tissue fluid.

A good paint for a tattoo should not have in its composition substances that cause all sorts of complications (even malignant formations). Such compounds are called halogen-organic compounds and include bromine, chlorine or iodine.

Many tattoo paints are diluted with special solvents. Such liquids disinfect the paint and help evenly distribute the dry pigment. Solvents should not contain chemical impurities, but only safe components, which include purified water, ethyl alcohol, glycerin, listerin, propylene glycol.

If you are not sure of your decision regarding permanent tattooing or if you have not decided on the final design, then the best option for you is a temporary tattoo. It will keep its shape on your body for about a month, and the paint for temporary tattoos will definitely not do any harm. After all, among the several types of such tattoos, the most popular is the pattern applied by henna. But be careful and do not let yourself be deceived. If you are promised the stability of a tattoo for several months, or even more, then immediately run away from such a master, because for more than a month the temporary tattoo "does not live".
