Kaip pasiruošti tatuiravimui:
Tatuiruotės gyjimo procesas labai panašus į plastinės chirurgijos pasekmes arba nudegimo gydymą. Kad tatuiruotė gytų greitai bei efektingai. Savaitę prieš tatuiruotę rekomenduotumėme jums teisingai maitintis. Valgyti daug vaisiu, daržovių bei daug kokybiškų baltymų. Tatuiravimo dieną Jūs turėtumėte vengti naudoti produktų kas skatina kraujavimą. Venkite aspirino, žuvies taukų, alkoholio Bent valandą iki tatuiravimo gerai pavalgykite. Panaudokite gerą dozę vitamino C Kiek daugiau naudokite geros kokybės angliavandenių ir baltymų. Visa tai padeda greičiau gyti žaizdai. Taip pat geriau jausitės tatuiravimo proeso metu. |
