A tattoo blowout is a side effect that results from a tattoo artistās inefficient handling of the needle. This mishandling of the needle causes ink to penetrate deeper in the skin than it should. A tattoo blowout will appear like a blurred image on the skin. The inks spreads around the area of the original tattoo drawing.
Once the blowout has occurred, there is little that can be done. Ink can spread to cover the area making the blowout easily visible. The victim can have tattoo artist apply ink to have the blowout covered.
It is not easy to pinpoint a common cause since the causes are many and some arise as a result of human error. However, there are some causes that do not arise from human error. One of the most common causes is the mishandling or inefficient use of the needle by the tattoo artist. In body parts where the skin is deep, the needle may penetrate deeper than required. This makes the ink get deeper in the skin which can cause the blowout. Also the needle maybe used in a sharp angle. This implies that the artist has the needle slanted while drawing the tattoo. This may have the ink spreading to areas not intended and cause a blowout.
Human skin can also cause a tattoo blowout. Some parts of the body have thin skin while others have thicker. In both cases there can be a tattoo blow out depending on how the needle is used and ink applied. A tattoo drawn on parts with thin skin, should use less ink or else the results may not be desirable as ink tries to spread during healing. On the other hand, if the skin is deep, the artist may penetrate the needle too deep.
There are certain parts of the body which have a higher possibility of having a tattoo blow out than others. This can be due to skin depth or body part movement. For instance, the fingers have thin skin which has a higher likelihood to have a skin blowout. Also, parts like the wrist which has frequent movement and can spread ink to the surrounding tissues. This happens if the movements occur when the tattoo is fresh.
A tattoo blowout is not predictable. It is not possible to know if a tattoo will heal or a blowout will occur. Here are some precautions you can take to avoid common causes of tattoo blowouts.
We recommend H2Oceanās Extreme Tattoo Care kit. This is the best and all-natural tattoo aftercare on the market. It is perfect for new tattoos. This kit has everything you need to heal a tattoo properly during all stages from cleansing, moisturizing and protecting the skin.
