Home | Arts & Entertainment | Tattoos There is a great degree of variability in inks used for cosmetic tattooing. Some artists also do tattooing and cosmetic tattooists may use artistic ink or ink that does not contain any ferric oxide. In that case, the tattoo should respond to tattoo removal similarly to another artistic tattoo anywhere on the body. For this reason, when approaching the treatment of cosmetic tattoos, especially on the face, extreme caution is used. Patients getting tattoo removal should be warned about the risk of irreversible conversion of their cosmetic tattoo from flesh or rust-colored to black. With that in mind, a test spot is then performed in the least exposed part of the tattoo (about 3 millimeters wide). The patient is then brought back in 1-2 weeks for a re-examination. If there is no darkening and/or if the patient wants to continue treatment for the rest of the tattoo then the rest of the tattoo may be treated. In some cases in the medical literature, even a tattoo that turned black may still be removable with lasers but it may require many more treatments than originally anticipated. Some patients have elected to have such a tattoo surgically excised. The bottom line is that, if possible, it would be good for clients of tattoo artists to know what kind of ink they receive when getting a tattoo. The ideal tattoo ink is one that is most easily removable without any complications if the wearer changes their mind about it. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
