All about women's tattoo sleeves

Tattoos have become part of the everyday image, a decorative or semantic detail of the wearer's personality. Any sketch must exactly match the inner world of the carrier, otherwise a drawing, whose main feature is lifelong accompaniment, may conflict with the carrier. Such a situation threatens with internal conflict and the accumulation of negative energy.

A tattoo for girls is for the most part a vivid way of self-expression. Unfortunately, the semantic load is often relegated to the background. This situation requires correction, since it is she who should be in the center of attention - a body sign, this is for life. Even if you reduce the tattoo with a laser, the energy will forever remain with the wearer - it will no longer need a visual display. That is why the choice of a tattoo should be started with this parameter.

The decision to choose a sleeve as a place of application also obliges a lot - an open place, especially in hot summer, makes the drawing available for open viewing... The mastery of performance has the same important role as the semantic and visual load. A sketch can be a way of expressing one's own individuality, and in this regard, the line between modern female and male drawings becomes fuzzy, almost erased.

This is due to the age of emancipation, when a woman became equal to a man not only in rights, but also in character. The weaker half became independent and self-sufficient, emotionally and physically aggressive. Women are proficient in martial arts and fly airplanes, hold executive positions and run big business.Therefore, today it is easy to find a tiger's grin on a girl's shoulder and a rose on a man's body.

It will take a lot of time to implement the plan - applying a tattoo on the sleeve, from five visits to the salon and more. The timing depends:

• from the size of the sketch;
• style solution;
• fill the image - apply a thin pattern faster than completely fill the entire area.

Consider some of the benefits of such a tattoo:

• the ability to decorate and mask any defects - scars from burns and cuts, large birthmarks, if the doctor permits;
• uniqueness - almost all sketches for the sleeve are made to order, which ensures the uniqueness of the image as a whole;
• care - it is much easier to carry out it, because the tattoo is in the free access zone.

• View the portfolio of the salon and the master - a mandatory event. After a specialist has been selected and the work has been agreed with him, it is necessary to decide on a sketch. Even if it is drawn with your own hand, and the theme belongs only to the customer, consultation with the tattoo artist is still necessary. It is he who will tell you all the nuances of order execution and its features. Perhaps, the work will not be as straightforward as on a sheet of paper.
• The choice of location depends not only on the sketch, but also on the height of the pain threshold. Suddenly, a high sensitivity to pain will not allow getting a tattoo exactly where the customer plans. Especially if this is the first experience, and the client does not yet know the capabilities of his body.
• Experts advise drinking more fluids about a day before the session.to prevent dehydration. The skin should be well hydrated to help the skin absorb the ink.
• Also the day before the session alcohol, aspirin and other blood thinners should not be consumed.
• Dress as comfortable as possibleto feel comfortable for several hours, and the details of the clothes did not interfere with the craftsman.
• You need to eat well before visiting the salonso as not to experience dizziness and weakness.
• If you are planning a very long session, it will not hurt to have a small "snack" with you. For example, a bar of chocolate to have a reason for a break, during which the master will also rest.
• For dry skin, you will need to apply moisturizers for a week before the session.... Do not sunbathe before doing this, because tanning is the same sunburn - a skin injury.

After the session, you must strictly follow the rules of care, which the master will tell you about. The main danger is infection, which can ruin the whole work. You should keep this in mind and do not get a tattoo before going on vacation to the sea or to a place where you can swim.
