Does the tattoo smell anything?

A difficult question that only you guys who have experienced giving yourself a body tattoo can answer!

In the past, tattooing was a type of body art reserved for only a small portion of the population, but it is now widely available.

But many people still intend to create a tattoo for themselves but are afraid to fear that tattooing will cause pain, danger and affect work.

But today we will dive into a question that many people cannot explain: Is the tattoo smelling?

Let's first find out: What is tattooing?

In essence, tattooing is a temporary or permanent form of the body's trace by bringing pigments into the skin through the entry of the top layer of skin.

Today, tattooing is done using an electric tattoo machine with needles that quickly pierce the skin and move up and down rhythmically like sewing machines.

After the tattoo is complete, the only smell your tattoo has is the antibiotic-like ointment , applied by the tattooist on that skin when the work is done.

You can also smell a bit of blood , because most people are bleeding a little (after all, I'm getting needles on the skin!).

However, the tattoo should not have any strange smell. During the healing process, if your tattoo shows signs of infection - redness, pus and smell - go to a health facility or ask a tattooist to avoid a bad case.

Even so, there is a special tattoo that smells, but still ensures safety. It is Indian Henna tattoo.

Henna is a natural mixture, used to paint the body in complex patterns. So its impact is only on the surface of the skin, not deep into the skin like normal tattoo.

Henna tattoos usually remain on the skin for 1-3 weeks. Although it was originally painted on henna skin, it was black but then it was dry and orange or brown. Natural Henna should have a rustic and slightly dark smell.

But sometimes the Henna color is made of chemicals so they have a chemical odor and can sometimes cause serious skin irritation such as blisters, burns and scars.

Give you more information: after tattooing, about half of people go to regret their decision. The process of tattoo removal is also quite complicated and expensive, and it is difficult to remove completely. This depends greatly on the size, location, healing ability of each person, tattooing and tattooing time.

So, before making a decision to give yourself a tattoo, consider it carefully!
