Recently, fine, minimalist and discreet tattoos have become the most popular designs.Simple strokes and small drawings subtly decorate the skin and look beautiful.
However, sometimes, the thin line that caused the tattoo to look so incredible can lose its fineness: the ink extends beyond the limits of the stroke and what was previously delicate and subtle can become a thick design orEven blurry.These cases are known as tattoo bleout or ink expansion.
Tattoo Blowout: The blurred effect that nobody wants
A tattoo bleout is presented a few days after your delicate design is embodied in the skin: the lines look blurred, wider than they were, the ink moves beyond the edges, it may even seem like a bruise or aManchón.
There is false belief that this effect is created because the artist uses an incorrect or very thick needle to make a fine design.However, in reality, the thickness of the needles is in the background.
Ink expansion occurs mainly when the artist does not apply it properly.This can happen if the application is too deep or at an incorrect angle.
According to Authority Tattoo experts, when too much pressure is applied, the ink is injected beyond the upper layer of the skin and reaches the fat layer from.On this site, the ink moves beyond the predisposed lines in the surface design, which causes a distorted image or blurred effect.
In addition, applying a lot of pressure, stretching the skin a lot or pushing the needle aggressively can cause spaces to be opened in the main line to the main line, where the ink can stay.
Healthline warns that in some fabric samples taken from people suffering from a tattoo blowout, ink found in much deeper areas of the skin where there should be no traces of this.
