There are several steps to take and things to be aware of when taking care of a new tattoo. In order to keep a tattoo looking as crisp, fresh and clear as the day it was applied, it’s especially important to care for a new tattoo in the days and weeks after its creation. Taking good care of a tattoo from the start will ensure that upkeep later on will be less difficult and will help prevent the tattoo from fading as quickly as well as aid in avoiding experiencing blotching or smearing of a new tattoo.

First and foremost, choose a reputable tattoo parlor to do the actual work. Tattoo parlors are required to be licensed and good tattoo artists will not only be skilled at the tattooing itself, they will be trained in how to keep the tattooing process sanitary. A good tattoo artist will not only provide samples of work during discussion of a tattoo design, he or she will also dispose of all needles and ink tubes after one use and provide clients with a list of instructions on how to care for a tattoo.

These instructions need to be followed. A tattoo will be covered following its application; because a tattoo is technically a wound in the skin, it is easy for bacteria to infect the tattooed are and this can cause health complications, in addition to ruining a tattoo. After a few hours, the bandage can be removed, with a couple of exceptions. If a tattoo is wrapped in cling-wrap or saran wrap, that bandage should be removed immediately since it will not allow the tattooed skin to breathe. Additionally, if a tattoo artist advises that a bandage be left in place overnight or for longer than a few hours, those instructions should be obeyed.

After the bandage is removed, there are still things that need to be done to take care of a new tattoo. The area should be washed, gently, with warm water and a gentle soap -baby soaps are best for this, as they are designed for sensitive skin. Do not scrub the area with a washcloth; it is best to use only hands, soap and water on a new tattoo. When drying a new tattoo, pat it with a towel; do not rub the skin with a towel. After the tattoo has been thoroughly dried, apply a protective ointment; some tattoo parlors will provide a small packet of ointment with each towel. It is best to avoid Neosporin, as some people have reactions to it that leave the tattoo looking spotty. Use an ointment designed specifically for tattoos.

The ointment is made to help speed the healing process and reduce the effects of the natural oozing ink -which can ruin clothes and in some cases show that the tattoo was improperly applied, if the oozing is excessive or causes the tattoo to lose shape. Using ointment can also help reduce the itchiness of a new tattoo; although all tattoos will itch and scab to some extent, a tattoo should never be scratched. This can damage the skin and pull the tattoo out of shape. If itching becomes unbearable, lightly slapping the tattoo can help.

Following the creation of a new tattoo, avoid hot tubs, baths and swimming pools for up to three weeks. Submerging a new tattoo in water can cause the ink to become distorted. Short showers are fine; the tattoo should be washed only with gentle soap and without the use of a washcloth for several weeks.

Try to keep tattoos out of the sun as much as possible. In the case of a visible tattoo, apply a sunscreen with strong SPF in order to protect the tattoo as much as possible. Putting a tattoo in the sun is similar to leaving a photograph or newspaper in the sun; it will bleach and distort the colors of the tattoo and cause it to fade much more quickly than it would otherwise. Protecting a tattoo from the sun will keep it looking crisper and prevent discoloration for a longer period of time.

Getting a new tattoo entails some level of physical responsibility. Taking care of a new tattoo can seem like a bit of a hassle at times, but ensuring that new body ink is well taken care of will also ensure that the tattoo continues looking as good as the day it was inked.

Risk is everywhere around us. Our health faces risks all the time too. At home or in any interior places, you face the risk of falling down, tripping down, chemicals injury to your body, accidental consumption of wrong food, choking, fire injury and so on. Outside the home or in outdoor, you faces the risk of knocking down by vehicles, accidental assault, natural disaster such as strike by lightning, earthquake, typhoon and so on. We cannot escape risks totally, but we can reduce risks on our part, as by taking precaution in whatever things that we do.

Those risk that we face are all external. They are all accidental health risks that we can possibly face in our lives, whether you are a child, teenage, adults or old people. Besides accidental health risks, other health risks that we face could be the short-term health risks and the long-term health risks.

Our body are in constant touch with foreign objects in our surroundings. All these foreign objects are all health risks to us. From food preparation to cooking and eating of food, there are already health risks involved in every steps that we do. For example, food that are not washed properly such as vegetables might contain parasites’ eggs from soil particles on the vegetables. These eggs might hatch into parasites in our stomach(favourable condition for them). Meat that we eat if they are not cooked properly will still have parasites exist in them. So when these meat are eaten, our health is at risks – risks of parasite infestation in our body. Parasites can compete with our body for nutrition and it can also cause sickness to us and sometimes can even be fatal.

Besides parasites, other potential health risks from food we eat are germs. When seafood and poultry products are not washed properly or when they are not fresh, they have germs – the bad bacteria in them, that can cause people to suffer from symptoms of food poisoning after consumption of them. Sometimes, besides improper food handling, ignorance can also cause us to have risks of our health, as in food poisoning when eaten food that is kept in the fridge for too long, or even food consume after left over in the room for a long period of time. These are short-term health risks. They cause immediate results to our body.

Other examples of short-term health risks that we face are allergies. Eating food that our body ‘cannot accept’ such as seafood or eggs for some people can have immediate rashes, and ‘watery and red eyes’ and other symptoms for some
