Choosing A Tattoo & Location

By Anna Prescott on October 26, 2012

The biggest decision once you know you want a tattoo is what to get and where to put it. There are a few factors to consider that may help you decide these things but ultimately it just boils down to what you want.

The Tattoo Pain Factor

The first thing to consider is how painful the area getting tattooed is going to be. People always want to know where it hurts the most to get a tattoo. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims but over the years it seems like these are some areas that hurt more or less. When it comes to the most painful areas to get tattoos they are different for men and women.

Most Painful Tattoo Areas:

In Women, the ankle spine and ribcage seem to result in the most discomfort.

Least Painful Areas:

In Men, least painful areas can be found on the back, buttocks and arms.
In Women, the buttocks, shoulders thigh and abdomen are least painful.

Professionalism

Another thing to consider when choosing what and where to put your tattoo is work place professionalism. Tattoos are mainstream and acceptable regardless of education, profession or background. Despite this, some employers and clients may still feel that tattoos are unprofessional in the workplace. This is something to think about before you finalize your decision to place your tattoo in a visible area. Ultimately it is no ones business what design you get but be sure to choose one that reflects the image you want to portray

A Tattoo Reflects Who You Are

There are lots of magazines devoted solely to tattoos, pick one up and you can find countless examples of very good and unique artwork. There has been some really artistic renderings of serial killers, demons and sexually explicit scenes, but you must first ask if these will paint you in the light you want to be seen Fair or unfair, people are going to form impressions about the type of person you are based on what design you go with.

With this information you should be able to make an informed decision ensuring you are happy with the type and placement of your body art. If you some ideas for your new tattoo, you can ask the professional tattoo artists in our tattoo shop.

Tattoo Artist Uses Tattoo Parlors To Give Back

By Anna Prescott on October 25, 2012

We can all agree that breast cancer is a horrible thing and the scars last forever but one tattoo artist is using a tattoo parlors to help breast cancer survivors get a small piece of normal back in their life. Check out what this great person and acclaimed tattoo artist is doing to give tattoo parlors a good name.

Meet Vinnie Myers, the tattoo artist who is transforming mastectomy patients scarred chests. [tattoo parlors giving back]

SCALLYWAG OCTOBER 23, 2012

Mr Myers’ tattoo treatment helps to restore the natural appearance of the breast. For many mastectomy patients, 50 year old tattoo artist Vinnie Myers from Baltimore, Maryland is a godsend, for him though it’s just his way of being creative and his small way of helping those who have unfortunately afflicted with breast cancer. Over the course of ten years,the tattoo parlors interiorMyers who has helped up to 2 -3000 mastectomy patients, some as far as Saudi Arabia and Brazil deal with the loss of their breasts, the hallmark of how so often many women identify with their femininity. Myers who has adroitly recreated the illusion of nipples and the aureola, something that is nearly always gone for those who have endured breast cancer surgery recently had this to say on breastcancer.org: ‘I feel like I have the best possible job as a service provider for breast cancer warriors. I’m on the back side of the battle. The finishing touch. The last step. I truly get to put the cherries on the cupcakes!’ With many women wishing to feel like a woman again, many of Mr Myers’ clients see his nipple tattoo treatment, which costs $400, and takes around two hours to complete, as an alternative to reconstructive surgery. Many women who have breast tissue removed to treat cancer, are left without nipples and areolas, the dark coloured area around the nipple. Vinnie Myers first started dealing in breast/nipple tattoos in 2001 after a plastic surgeon reached out to him and asked him if he would be interested in helping women who had undergone reconstructive breast surgery. By this point he had already been doing tattoos since 1984 and had by 1991 opened up his own parlor. tattoo artist at workAfter accepting the offer he quickly found that the techniques used by mainstream medicine were outdated. For instance many surgeons were using vegetable-based dyes that faded quickly and failed to give a realistic impression. He has since dedicated his career to the art of 3D nipple tattooing and over the past decade he has worked at improving the process. So passionate has Vinnie Myers become with the process and helping afflicted women he has now teaches other tattoo artist about his nipple coloring technique.

There you have it, we strongly recommend you read the full article as well as share this awesome story of a tattoo artist using tattoo parlors to combat breast cancer.  The whole tattoo community salutes up to Vinnie.

Taking Care Of Your Tattoo

By Anna Prescott on October 22, 2012

One of the most important things to remember when it comes to a tattoo is that if you don’t properly care for your tat, you will not be satisfied with how it turns out.  Below is a very useful post for caring for your new body art.

Tattoo Aftercare at a Glance

13OCT2012, by infoaeediia in Health

A tattoo isn’t completed until it is fully healed. This takes active participation on your part too.

Before having a tattoo done, you should find out about basic care and hygiene measures that should be taken to ensure it doesn’t get infected and heals properly. The first day, with clean and disinfected hands,Tattoo Aftercare remove the bandage after two hours covering the tattoo and don’t bandage it again. You should wash the surrounding area of the tattoo with cold water and anti-bacterial soap, free of fragrances or oils. Let it dry on its own. After 12 hours sponge it with Luke warm water & a little Savlon or antibacterial solution. After it dry on its own apply a layer of anti-bacterial cream (Silverx) and remove any excess. Do not use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Wear clean and dry clothes to cover the tattoo.

During the first week, you should apply the cream every four hours. Avoid scratching at all costs, if you really can’t help it try patting the area lightly as this can help relieve the itching. While bathing or in extreme heat when you are likely to perspire a lot use extra amounts of cream. If the tattoo is exposed to a lot of water, the scab will fall off too soon.

During the first month, avoid swimming, because both chlorine as well as salt water is bad it. You should also avoid exposing it to the sun and don’t tear off the dry skin around the tattoo…Origional text at  Tattoo Aftercare at a Glanc 

Just remember you probably paid a lot for that a those tattoos, take the time to protect them!

Local tattoo shop hosts breast cancer event

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Live Loud Studios Tattoo and Body Piercing is teaming up with the Pink Ribbon Girls to raise money and support for the cause.

On Oct. 20, Live Loud Studios will be holding a silent auction and a raffle. They will also be tattooing pink ribbons for $30 each on those willing to undergo the needle to promote breast cancer awareness.
All proceeds from the event will be going to the Pink Ribbon Girls, a community organization offering outreach, education, awareness and support to women suffering from breast cancer.

Chris Riesenburg, a Northern Kentucky University alum, is the 23-year-old owner and tattoo artist at Live Loud Studios. He detailed the breast cancer event and the inspiration behind it during an interview at his shop on Glenway Avenue in Cincinnati.

“I’ve always been that guy to put out my hand and help people,” he explained. “I want to do something positive for this world. I want to do something for a greater cause.”
Although this is Live Loud Studios’ first charity event, Riesenburg hopes this will inspire others to follow suit and begin giving back to the community .

“It’s hard to bring as much as you can to the table in just one day,” he said. “But no one else around here is doing it, so maybe after this, everyone will be doing it.”
The Pink Ribbon Girls’ website offers an array of resources and events for young women in the Greater Cincinnati area who are struggling with breast cancer. Riesenburg partnered with the foundation through a friend of a friend and is utilizing his business to help others in need through the event.

According to Riesenburg, expenses for the tattoos such as ink and needles must be covered, but $10 from each tattoo will be donated to the Pink Ribbon Girls. All of the money from the silent auction will also be donated.

Local tattoo enthusiast and NKU alum Lisa Kuntz plans to partake in the affair. Her aunt recently passed from breast cancer and she described how the tragedy has raised awareness for her.
“Breast cancer was never something I imagined I would be dealing with on a personal level,” she said. “I will definitely be getting a pink ribbon tattoo in memory of my Aunt Linda.”
Other families touched by breast cancer can look forward to Live Loud Studios making the breast cancer awareness project an annual event.

“I wish I could do something every month, but it’s just not possible,” Riesenburg said. “One of my bucket list goals is to own my own charity. I want to do something huge. A few people can only do so much, but when everybody does something, that’s when it comes together.”

Live Loud Studios’ breast cancer awareness event will be held on Oct. 20, from noon to 10 p.m. at 6520 Glenway Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio.
Even if you’re not up for getting inked, you can join in and show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month……More at The Northerner : Local tattoo shop hosts breast cancer event.

There you have it, what ideas do you have for our tattoo shop to give back to the greater Rochester community?
