THE TATTOO PROCESS

SPOILER!!: The Process

THE INKING
1. It begins with cleaning the skin with rubbing alcohol and shaving the area (if necessary) with an disposable razor (each razor is used for only one client). After shaving, the skin is cleaned again.

2. The trolley (a moveable, stainless steel metal tray) with the equipment is set beside the chair for use. All the tubes of ink and needles are on the tray. The tubes and needles are removed out of the sterile packages in front of the client.

3. The tattoo image design is traced with the use of a black pencil.

4. Vaseline ointment is put on the skin to move the needle more easily.

5. The outline of the tattoo design is done first before the filling of the shades and colors can be applied. A different needle called a Magnum is used for coloring and shading.

6. Once the tattoo is finished, an ointment will be applied by the tattoo artist to prevent an open wound infection. A bandage will be put on the tattoo after applying the ointment.

EXTRA: A moving tattoo (and other wizarding variations) only moves with the use of specially made ink and/or too-secret spells ~~which we can not give you the secret to~~.
THE HEALING
1. Leave the bandage on for at least two hours. DO NOT TAKE IT OFF BEFORE THAT. Even if you want to show your friends your new cool tattoo…they have to wait. A newly applied tattoo is an open wound. If you decide to remove the bandage before the two hours, you risk the chance of getting an infection.

2. After removing the bandage you have to wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild antibacterial soap using your hand.

3. Pat, DO NOT RUB, the area with a CLEAN towel to get it dry and use another antibacterial ointment on the tattoo.
WARNINGS!
Avoid the sun after getting a new tattoo.

After a few days you will feel some scabbing. DO NOT SCRATCH IT! Leave it alone because it is a normal sign that the skin is healing.

THE PIERCING PROCESS

SPOILER!!: The Process

THE PIERCING
1. Examine the area of the skin for any signs of scars, wounds, or other skin problems.

2. The area will be thoroughly cleaned with an antibacterial solution. Body hair may be shaved off if needed, as in the case of an eyebrow piercing.

3. The location of the piercing will be marked with a sterile disposable marker.

4. The piercer may decide to clamp the area with forceps to steady the skin and make it easier for a straight, even puncture. Clamping also stops the blood flow which helps numb the area.

5. The piercer will ask you if you are ready. The area will be pierced with a surgical steel cannula that comes wrapped in a plastic sheath.

6. The clamp is removed, starter jewelery inserted, and then the sheath is removed.
THE HEALING
1. Wash hands thoroughly.

2. Apply a generous amount of liquid soap on the fingertips and apply it on the piercing, the area around it, and rotate the piercing as well.

3. It is recommended to leave new piercings in for at least 6 weeks (especially ears) so that the holes do not close up. For such piercings, however, you should still rinse the piercing area with warm water and dry with a clean paper towel OR make a clean compress to leave on the piercing for a few minutes.

Please remember, only of-age wizards (those 17+ and 16-year-olds with parental permission) can get permanent tattoos. Wizards 15 and younger must have parental permission for piercings of any kind. Shopkeepers reserve the right to refuse a piercing or tattoo to any customer for any reason.
