| Combining Cosmetic Tattooing with
Other Surgical Procedures - Fall 2004 by
Whitney D. Tope, MPhil, MD
Frequently asked questions by cosmetic tattoo artists concern
the advisability of performing cosmetic tattooing in association with other
common surgical procedures. Does one negatively affect the results of the
other? Can multiple procedures be performed at the same time or at different
times? Which should be performed first? How long should one wait before
performing the second procedure? The answers to these questions lie in
understanding the individual procedures, the changes they create in the
skin, and the timing of wound healing.

| Good Blood/Bad Blood -
Winter 2003 Marjorie Grimm, CPCP
Frequently students, clients, or observers to Permanent
Makeup procedures will become somewhat taken aback that there is blood
involved with our procedures. There are those that even fear fainting from
the sign of the smallest amount of blood, theirs or others. But blood
is important to us as it can tell us some very important things about our
clients.

| Infection Control Update
- Summer 2003 by David Vidra
This is the first in a
series of articles which will deal with infection control issues in the
modification industry i.e., tattooing and piercing.
Infection “control” is the
process of preventing infection from occurring, not only to our clients but
to ourselves, as practitioners. It is not enough to practice the learned
routines of protection. You must know why you do what you do. Only
then are you able to understand the process of infection control and
practice it safely. |
