Pregnancy Tattoos

This kind of tattoos are called Ainu. Tattooing has been designed quite differently in the past, and in some cultures, it retains its primary function and that is protection. Tattooing has been used for protection rather than decoration, particularly for protection during pregnancy and childbirth when the woman is exposed to many risks.
During pregnancy, the net-like pattern of the tattoo would be to extend through the stomach confidential, and the numbers god sometimes protected women during childbirth, were tattooed on their thighs. All this was intended to keep children healthy in the womb and to protect the mother and child during pregnancy and childbirth. Hey, if you do not have a doctor, you have to do something, right?

Getting Inked

March 20, 2010

This morning, my roommate got up early to have a portion of her tattoo filled in. She is working on her third tattoo, which is situated on her entire thigh and works its way up onto her hip and portrays the decay of love, agony of hope and emptiness of faith – so it’s a cheerful piece of art. Today’s question is: how deep does tattoo ink penetrate?

A:
There are three layers to the skin. The epidermis, which is the outer layer of skin, that is wonderful and soft to touch, and protects us from eternal elements. This is the layer that is easily shed and is constantly renewed. The second layer of skin is called the dermis. This layer contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and sweat glands. The deepest layer is called the hypodermis, which is responsible for the body’s temperature control.

When someone gets tattooed, the ink is injected into the dermis, which is between 1 mm and 3 mm below the epidermis dependant on which area of the body is being tattooed. The ink is deposited in the dermis because skin cells shed at a much slower rate than the epidermis layers closer to the surface thus explaining why tattoos can remain in the skin a lifetime. Most tattoo artists know how deep to drive the needle into your skin, but not going deep enough will produce a ragged tattoo, and going too deep can cause bleeding and intense pain.
