Tattoo Difficulties

Social disadvantages of
tattoos are a common issue for many people with highly visible tattoos. Tattoo placement can negatively impact a person’s life if ink
location is not careful
considered.

Professional Disadvantages
of Tattoos

>
Although tattoos are more common then ever, they are still viewed as unacceptable
in certain aspects of society. Tattoos on areas of the skin
difficult to cover wearing everyday clothing, can result
with major disadvantages from having tattoos.
>
Disadvantages of
Tattoos:

_
· Career Limitations
· Style of Clothing
· Relationship Conflicts
· Decrease in Community Involvement
· Negative Self-Esteem
· Compromise Health

_
When it comes to getting hired for a job and professionally advancing in many careers, having tattoos is often a disadvantage. Most professional positions in corporate business, medical,
educational, law, and the military, as well as their administrative/support
positions discourage hiring individuals with visible tattoos. And, the few professional careers willing to hire individual with tattoos
have dress code policies
mandating tattoos remain hidden on the job. Having to conceal visible tattoos on a daily basis for work and social events is another disadvantage tattoos bring about. Finding
the right clothing to wear to hide tattoos can be a challenge, especially if tattoos are on areas of the skin not typically covered by
clothes. Tattoos located in commonly
exposed areas such as
arms, necks, ankles, and wrists often require wearing
long sleeves and pants
regardless of the
temperature or if the style trend for women is sleeveless tops and skirts.
Special occasions and
evening attire limitations are a factor when it comes to
dressing up and covering tattoo designs.

>
Personal relationships can
be affected by tattoos.
Having a tattoo of a former lovers’ name can negatively impact a current relationship.
People mistakenly confuse the name of your new love with the one on your arm.

>
Being a parent with tattoos can create unwanted attention and embarrassment
for children being teased by friends and classmates.
Tattoos can hold people back from making positive changes and pursuing a better lifestyle, such as a
former gang member no longer associated with gang or street living, but is not welcome into the community for baring the identifiable gang tattoos.
Tattoo disadvantages
negatively impact people’s health. Physically, [b]tattoos
can cause health
complications such as allergic reactions, serious infections,
and chronic diseases such as hepatitis.

Tattoos can also damage a person’s self-esteem, creating anxiety and depression about being viewed as a stereotype personality they are not.
Remember, career goals, interests, and relationships change throughout life. Choosing to get a tattoo in a place that can easily be covered with clothes does
not mean you are selling out, it simple means you are taking advantage of all your
future options rather than getting disadvantages
tattooed in plan view.

Getting a tattoo done might seem fashionable, romantic,
and enigmatic (or all at once), but it’s only after you do it when you begin to gain
cognizance of the greater reality confronting you.
Difficult as it may be to
fathom; the very same marks of pride on your body may well come back to haunt you
and you may be more eager to have it removed than the
newest kid on the block
who’s raring to have his
body pierced.

Removing Tattoos:
Possible Reasons

>
People have a plethora
reasons for wanting to
explore natural tattoo
removal methods: Maybe you’re no longer associated with a group/band/team
whose slogan you had
enthusiastically inked on your shoulder; perhaps your ideology has undergone a sea change; or your ex-
girlfriend is no longer with you, with your current girlfriend pestering you about those dubious initials!

How do tattoos work?
>
Tattoos entail the injection of tiny, insoluble particles of
colored ink into your skin’s second layer which is known
as dermis. The reason why tattoos last very long (sometimes throughout the
life) is because of the innate stability of the dermal cells, which implies that you need
to take appropriate action quickly to remove them all.
>
Can they be removed?
>
Well, there is some good news and bad news. The good news is that an increasing number of safe,
state-of-the art tattoo
removal methods are being discovered, thereby enhancing your chances of removing tattoos permanently in a scientific manner.
The bad news is that not all methods, including conventional tattoo remover
or tattoo removal at home , work on everyone because
your success would largely depend upon a few factors like the tattoo’s size and
your skin shade .
Thankfully, there are
numerous safe methods for tattoo removal which leave
no side effects other than minimal scarring or color variation. The healing process again depends upon the size, duration, intensity
and application of the tattoo.

Four removal methods
1. Laser

Laser surgery is widely
considered to be as one of the most effective tattoo removal methods. Two
techniques- quality switched Alexandrite, and Q-switched Nd: Yag- deserve special
mention. Under these
methods, the physician
administers a cream to make the skin numb after which, laser-induced concentrated
lights are directed to
unsettle the tattoo
pigmentation. The ink is
finally made to break down into tiny components that are
subsequently absorbed into the body.
While laser is widely
recommended, it is not a foolproof method because its efficacy is directly proportional to the contrast between your skin color and
the ink. Laser tattoo removal cost can get fairly high especially if the tattoo is large-sized. This is because
you can expect to undergo 6-12 laser treatments to remove it completely. Side
effects include scarring and blisters.
_
2. Creams
If you wish to explore a
cheaper option than the
ultra-expensive laser
therapy, then do-it-yourself creams like Tattoo-OFF could
be just right for you. While the scientific veracity of most of these creams is yet to be ascertained, they’re not a bad alternative to other invasive treatments and also
don’t cause any major
damage to your skin.
Although they’re easy to apply, be wary of using them blindly because they may
trigger permanent skin
irritation.
Before using them though, you may want to read best tattoo removal cream reviews on the internet to be
on the safer side.

3. Excision- Non Laser
Tattoo Removal Before
and After Under this effective method, a local anesthesia is administered after which, the tattoo is taken out physically
through surgical
intervention. Subsequently, the doctors bring the edges
together and suture them.
The advantage of this
method is that the entire tattoo can be safely removed, although a large-
sized tattoo could
necessitate skin grafting from other parts of the body. The only noticeable side
effect of this treatment is the
bleeding that occurs during the surgery, which can be easily managed.
_
4. Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
It is similar to the laser
method in that it makes use of high intensity light.
However, this method
involves the application of a gel and the usage of a ‘wand’ to emit the light into the affected portion. This method is said to be hassle-
free and relatively painless although it can be quite heavy on your pockets.
