What makes Medical Tattooing different?

Awareness of what the body has gone through physically, this is serious work and there are many variables that need to be considered prior to tattooing.

Understanding what type of reconstruction surgery the patient had undergone, DIEP and TRAM flaps, radiated skin factors and implants with decreased blood-flow, autoimmune disorders etc.

ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES are crucial, not only understanding blood-borne pathogens but extensive training to make sure we are practicing as safe as possible with absolutely no cross contamination. 

We get the job done EFFICIENTLY & EFFECTIVE. In and out and never OVERWORKED. There is no room or time to be guessing what to do next. 
This is why knowing how to draw is so important.

If the technician does not practice drawing & tattooing on a regular basis, chances are the tattoo is going to take longer, leading to more damage to the tissue.
The tissue that came from another body part including stomach, lat, or inner thigh etc.. 

What happens if that tissue potentially gets infected from not using Aseptic techniques?

If infection were to occur in a Breast Cancer patient, the patient could potentially lose the reconstructed flap or implant. I am extremely careful and have never seen this BUT a surgeon I work with shared with me that she has seen it and it does happen.

It is important for the survivor to receive the best quality of practice that they deserve.
