What food should you eat during the tattoo healing process? 0

I recently read an article about the best foods to after you get a tattoo.  It’s not something I’d ever put too much thought into, and I hadn’t really considered the Science behind it, pre- any of my tattoos.  From the first couple of tattoo experiences I had, I quickly decided that it was best to arm myself with a bottle of Lucozade during the tattoo process (even though I absolutely hate it), and before any new tattoos, I’d try and eat a big meal, something carby and substantial, or if I didn’t have time for this, then I’d at least go and buy a bar of chocolate to ensure I had enough sugar in me to get through the tattoo (although I think this is more of a comfort thing!).  So making sure I didn’t get tattooed on an empty stomach seemed like a logical thing for me to do, but I hadn’t ever considered what I should be eating after being tattooed, and until now, I never knew the importance of eating the right kind of foods, post-tattoo.

It's always really interesting to learn fun and pointless facts about things, from movie trivia, to weird and wonderful medical facts, strange statistics about animals, and totally pointless findings about food.  As a Tattoo Studio Wholesale Supplier, we're always open to learn new things about tattoos, so I decided to have a little look at some of the strange and interesting trivia surrounding the industry (even if some of it is just pointless statistics and trivia!). 

So, let’s take a look at some of the strange facts about tattoos!

We’re raving about Radiant Tattoo Ink! | Tattoo Ink By Radiant Colours UK 0

When it comes to tattoo ink, nowadays tattoo artists are spoilt for choice with the many brands of tattoo ink available on the market.  Some like to use a select couple of brands, others will stay loyal to only one brand throughout their whole tattooing career, and some are willing to experiment with a variety of brands, chopping and changing as the mood suits.  We find that a lot of our customers tend to stick to the same couple of brands as they’re used to the colours, the consistency of the ink, and the way in which the tattoos heal when using specific brands and colours.  This year, we were ecstatic to become the Official European Distributor of Tattoo Ink By Radiant Colours, and we were super happy when so many of our customers switched over to Radiant from their usual brand of choice!
