Starter Tattoo Kit
Caring For A New Tattoo
When you finally decide to get a tattoo, the first thing you’ll need to do is find a reputable tattoo artist. Most tattoo artists have several designs that you can pick from. If you don’t find anything you like, you can always ask him to make a custom tattoo. You should always be careful in what you choose, as you’ll have the tattoo for the rest of your life. The design is very important, although not nearly as important as taking care of it.

Airbrush Tattoo Starter Kit Totally Me for GirlsReviewsMy daughter got this product as a birthday present...seemed really cool, until we tried to use it. The stencils are stickers which are too big to stick well to little hands (really, the only place most kids want a tat. I was trying to avoid arms because of the stickers sticking to little arm hairs.) The colors come out pretty well, but they bleed and run as soon as the sticker is removed (and the stickers have to be removed quickly because the ink that gets on them doesn't dry.) We attempted it twice and all have hands covered in ink. Save your money... The ink goes everywhere and after you take the stencil off the picture smears. Cool idea, bad toy. I only spent $[...] on this toy at Toys-R-Us, so at that price I'm not too disappointed. My 6yr old thinks it's fun, but just know: 1) The stencils are stickers and only work well once (twice if you're super careful about peeling them off the skin). The trigger is pretty sensitive and tends to get accidently pushed when inserting the colors. The "easel" is a joke. It's a horribly flimsy tray that can barely support the weight of the markers, let alone the sprayer. At $[...] it's worth an afternoon or two of girl time with my daughter (cheaper than a movie!). At [...], I'd be pretty annoyed with the product. This toy was a little messy and takes a while to dry. I will not buy this toy again Average Rating:  |

Beachcombers! Henna Tattoo 10 Pre Mixed Paste Cone Party Pack w/Oil & Fine Metal Tip Applicator BottlesReviewsI ordered this for a henna party. The shipping was super fast and the product was great! I like the premixed so I didn't have to deal with the hassle and mess. It comes with everything you need to do henna work. this henna sucked i waited four hours just like the instructions said but when my drawing peeled off nothing there!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read all the instructions, troubleshooting, sealers and everything and i got nothing very mad and disappointed:( save your money trust me you will be disappointed. i use this product and i hated because it doesn't give me any color I was waiting for about 3 hours and after that all my drawing is gone nothing on my hand even on my feet. Why that happened? if i have an opportunity to returned I will do...all my money is gone!!!!!!!!!! I know my henna and henna products. Their moroccan blunt needle is as close as it gets and I don't think you can find that anywhere else online. The jaquard bottle and its tips make intricate designs a breeze. I've also shopped around quite a bit and these prices can't be beat. The henna cones are great. The oil is great. They even include a small booklet that tells you everything you need to know about henna, henna products and henna designs. This kit is great for a party. You can enjoy these temporary tatoos with friends and family or keep them all to yourself. If you've never tried henna, it takes a little practice, but it's very easy to do. Great if you have a business or want to start a henna business. Doing bridal designs will help you earn extra money and it is fun! Beachcombers gives you exactly what you ordered. The product was actually better than I expected. It arrived just in time for my henna party. Which was surprising considering I ordered it a little late. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Beachcombers! Pre Mixed Paste Henna Tattoo Sampler Pack Starter Kit, Great for BeginnersReviewsThis kit is great for simple henna tattoos. I did no want to make henna a "career" or anything, just wanted it to be fun. The book included in this kit is perfect for the beginner. It was obviously written with english as a first language unlike many translated indian books. I've tried the Schweta brand of henna a few times over the course of my career as a henna artist, and it has always disappointed me. It's very easy to find a tube for under $5 at most Indian grocery stores. Mixing your own henna is a much better way to go. Buying this kit might be a bit useful so that you can see what consistency the paste has, so you can keep that in mind when making your own. Average Rating: |

Good tattoo artists will also clean and apply antiseptic ointment to your tattoo as they create it. Expert artists know that this helps keep the tattoo healthy. Once the tattoo is finished, the artists will wipe it down, clean it off good, and apply another coat of antiseptic ointment. Once the ointment has been applied, he will put a piece of soft tissue or cellophane over the tattoo.
Once the tattoo is finished, the artists should tell you how to take care of your new tattoo. Some of the better artists will talk to you and give you a detailed sheet with all of the information you need. If you went to a tattoo artist who didn’t explain this to you, you may be wondering just what you should do. Taking care of a tattoo isn’t hard – as long as you know what you can and can’t do.
When you first get home with your new tattoo, you should never hop right in the shower. You should keep it dry for the first few days, but also clean it every few hours. Before you touch the tattoo or clean it, you should always make sure that your hands are clean. If you keep your hands clean, you won’t have to worry about an infection.
You’ll also want to visit your local drugstore and purchase a tube of A&D ointment. A&D ointment is the best to use. A&D will keep your tattoo clean and shiny and should be used for the first few days. Once the ointment starts to dry on the tattoo, you should wipe the old application off and apply some more. Don’t rub it too hard, or you could damage the healing process. For the first few days, you should avoid using soap as well.
After 5 – 6 days, you can quit using the ointment. A&D ointment will keep your tattoo healthy, which you’ll notice the first time you apply it. After you stop using it, you should use an unscented body lotion. You want to avoid body lotions that have scents, as they can easily irritate the tender skin that resides under your tattoo.
After you have used the lotion for a few days, you can stop using it. Most tattoos, after they have healed, tend to leave a scab in some areas. If your tattoo has a scab, you should be careful when you try to pick it. If you aren’t careful, you could end up damaging your design. The best thing to do is you have a scab is to leave it alone. You can put A&D ointment on it if you want, as most of the time a scab will itch.
A tattoo can be a great thing to have providing you take care of it. Tattoos will stay with your for the rest of your life, unless you choose to get them surgically removed. Taking care of your tattoo now will keep it healthy and infection free in the long run. If you follow the above advice on how to take care of your tattoo – you won’t have anything to worry about.
