Ancient Rome
In ancient times, the tattoo on the face was not always of an aesthetic nature. For example, in ancient Rome, slaves and prisoners were branded in such a way that these distinctive marks prevented the fugitive from escaping. This tradition had something in common with the branding of cattle - it was possible to tell who the animal belonged to by the presence of the brand. Unfortunately, history cannot be rewritten; in ancient Rome, slaves were treated as animals and as property. People who have nothing to do with the art of tattooing are sometimes reproached by this fact with the owners of such drawings.
The World of the Wild West.
The first white person who (though not willingly) wore a tattoo on her face was a woman named Olivia Outman. At an early age, the girl was kidnapped. At the age of 19, young Olivia was able to return home. Her face was decorated (or, according to people of the time, disfigured) with five parallel stripes. Nevertheless, even in that cruel world, the girl lived well, despite such an unusual appearance. Not only was Olivia very beautiful, but she was also very smart, she immediately understood what to take advantage of. The girl visited many cities with lectures about Indian life, which were a huge success.
Medieval Europe
The fashion of tattooing a dot on the lip comes from medieval Europe. However, in those days, an elegant "fly" was applied with cosmetics or simply glued to the face black circles of velvet. The peak of the popularity of flirty "fly" reached only the court of the French King Louis XIII. Ladies of the world used it for the same purpose that girls use tonal cream nowadays - to hide skin flaws (scars, scars and pimples). The Marquise de Pompadour, the King's favorite, even invented the secret language of "flies", sticking them from place to place - so she gave signs to her many admirers.
Factors that influence the strength of painful sensations during tattooing
The strength of pain is an individual characteristic. Some people can tolerate even severe pain, while others find it difficult to tolerate minor discomfort.
Whether it hurts to have a lip, eyebrow or eyelid perma- ture also depends on a number of related factors:
- psychological fear, which increases unpleasant sensations, causes muscle tension and prevents the needle from moving freely;
- treatment area: the skin in the area of the lips, eyebrows and eyelids has different levels of sensitivity;
- low pain threshold;
- professionalism of the master, which comes with years of practice;
- quality of equipment;
- Proper selection of anesthesia.
Answers to frequent questions
- Why does the strength of pain sensations vary from master to master during the same procedure?
The strength of painful sensations largely depends on the professionalism of the master, the quality of selected anesthetics and equipment. The more experienced and qualified the professional, the less uncomfortable the procedure will be.
- Can the anesthesia during the tattooing procedure not work?
Before pigmentation, you need to make sure that the master is using certified anesthetics. Such drugs are always effective and reduce sensitivity in just a few minutes. If the pain gets worse during the procedure - you need to inform the master and he will reapply the product.
- Is it true that when anesthesia is applied, the pigment penetrates the skin worse and is removed from the body faster?
Persistence and longevity of pigment wear depends on the quality of dyes used, professionalism of the master, proper preparation for the procedure and follow-up care. The use of an anesthetic does not affect the quality of the pigment and its survival rate.
