Keep your tattoos clean and avoid rain this monsoon to prevent bacterial infection.  Follow these tips for proper tattoo care. 

Monsoon Tattoo Care: Follow these 4 tips to avoid irritation and infection on the inked area

Keep your tattoos clean to prevent bacterial infection.&nbsp; Follow these tips for proper tattoo care.&nbsp;

Tattoos need proper care in all the seasons. In summer due to direct exposure to sunlight and sweating the healing process of tattoos becomes slow whereas, in winter due to covered body tattoos heal faster.&nbsp;
And, it's undoubtedly more challenging to maintain tattoos in the monsoon season as the chances of infection increases and tattoos become itchy and get swollen sometimes.&nbsp;
<h3>Here are some tips to take care of your tattoo&nbsp;</h3>
<ul>
<li>If your tattoo is new make sure to keep it moisturised, but remember not to over do it in monsoon</li>
<li>Make sure to keep your tattoo clean and dry as the chances of bacterial infection increase during this season</li>
<li>Avoid stepping out or getting drenched in the rain as it might destroy your tattoo and cause itchiness&nbsp;</li>
<li>Wear loose clothes as it allows the tattoo to breathe properly and does not rub your skin against tattooed skin</li>
<li>If your tattoo feels swollen and itchy apply any antiseptic cream.</li>
</ul>
Pro tip - If the condition worsens visit a dermatologist&nbsp;

Planning to get inked? Here's what you need to know before getting a tattoo 

Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee shares that tattoos are linked with high risk to our bodies and can cause allergies. Know how&nbsp;

Tattoos have created a fascination in everybody's mind and most of us get inked without knowing their adverse effects on our body.
Recently, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee shared a post on Instagram stating how tattoos are linked with risks and health concerns.
In her video, she explained that when you get inked you expose yourself to heavy metals like lead, mercury and others which can lead to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, skin diseases, liver and kidney damage.
She also said, that tattoo ink inside your skin surface starts reacting with your body and produces toxic chemicals which can cause allergies within your body.

The rhythmic whirring of a machine, constant needle jabs, the permanence of an indelible mark, and let’s not forget about pain. There’s a lot that makes the concept of tattoos daunting – perhaps even unappealing. But if there’s one thing that no one can deny is that the trend of getting tattoos has been spreading like wildfire in the world.   What is it about the phenomenon of using your skin as a canvas that excites people so much? Today we take a deep dive into the world of ink.   For the longest time tattoos in popular representation have found themselves associated with the MTV culture of hard rock. But what’s popular may not always be true.  The first few accounts of tattoos in India come from the colonial records of the castes and tribes of India and go as far as 1916. Like with most ancient traditions in the country, the research and information available on when this practice started is almost negligible.  However, the tribes and communities of people who continue this tradition trace the roots of their tattoos to religion and group identity.   As varied as the tattoo designs are in India, perhaps just as varied are the meaning and significance of the motifs that people sport.   When a Baiga girl turns 9-10 years old, she gets these as her first tattoo. This motif means stove, this means grain, this is wood, and this again is grain.   Tattoos have served as markers of caste, to define a woman’s coming of age, as a warrior's decoration after battle. An interesting story as far as assertion of identity is concerned is also that of the Ramnamis of Chhatisgarh. A community of the lower castes who decided to rebel against bramhanical laws of worship through the use of ink.   It can be argued that the tattoo tradition in India has skipped a few generations. Colonisation and urbanisation for a while led to the belief that tattoos are primitive and have no place in the modern world. However, after a brief hiatus, people are slowly attempting to reconnect to their roots. This need to know more about the ancient tradition of tattoo-ing in India is also the inspiration behind the work of many artists, like Shomil Shah who documents this artform through his crowdsourced repository – India Ink archive.   Regardless of how much one may try to deny the existence and presence of tattoos in our country, the reality is that the practice of tattooing has been a part of our culture for a very long time. Not just for cosmetic purposes but also for a sense of community. Old records on the tattoo-ing tradition also detail songs and rituals specifically related to the practice.  It's muddy waters to talk about the practice of tattoos without touching upon cultural appropriation. Yes, tribal tattoos are coming back into fashion, but one must ask who gets to sport these designs, and who benefits from making them?  In fact, when talking about tattoos it’s also an interesting question to look at who actually owns tattoos as a piece of artwork?

Right from beachside stalls at Goa to professional studios at malls, the Indian tattoo industry is bright and booming. The estimated projections since 2016 about the annual revenue of the industry is above ₹20,000 crore.   To become a tattoo artist is an offbeat job, but they say necessity is the mother of invention, and many artists we spoke to choose this profession because well – they wanted to get inked!   There is no dearth of information on the internet on how a person can start the practice of tattoos at home, and e-commerce websites will deliver supplies to your doorstep. This has led to a lot of home-grown and local artists who work on the artform. The size, design, experience of the artist, time consumed, colors of the tattoo and placement are all factors that play into how much a tattoo will cost.   For many this work is also becoming lucrative enough to do as their full-time job, to spend the time it takes to learn the craft and it pays!   However not all tattoo stories have a happy ending. If Ariana Grande can get a tattoo that spells Japanese Barbeque Grill and Deepika Padukone can get a permanent tattoo to mark a relationship that didn’t quite have a fairy tale ending, we are after all mere mortals. If there is money in getting a tattoo – there's also money involved in removing it! And we Indians often get our tattoos removed too – more than any other country in the world.  But it’s not always wrong tattoos, or not being invested in them anymore that leads to tattoos being removed.   One reason for this boom in the tattoo industry in recent years could also be the fact that there is no longer a ‘type’ of person who gets inked. And the attitudes to this style of art are also changing.   We now know there is money being spent here. But the largest question still remains – why are people going through this permanent process for tattoos at all? Why do people get inked and to what lengths will they go for their adornment? We take a look at that in the next episode, but do tell us how much dough you spent on your tattoos in the comments below!
