According to the most vivid Harris Poll, conducted in the summer of 2003, approximately 15% of Americans (or about 40 million people) have at least one tattoo. The increased popularity of tattoos are apparent if you compare those findings to the 1936 Life Magazine estimate that 10 million Americans, or approximately 6% of the population, had a tattoo.
A 2006 a study done by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that 24% of Americans between 18 and 50 are tattooed; that's almost one in four. And the survey showed that about 36% of Americans age 18 to 29 have at least one tattoo!
Make no mistake about it, the tattoo industry is hot property which makes the tattoo aftercare issue a hot topic among tattooed and those wanting one. What stops you from treating your body with another gorgeous tattoo or piercing? There are really plenty of factors: pain, long healing time, redness, swelling, oozing (plasma), flaking, crusting, itching, stiffness, soreness, discomfort, flinching, aggravated skin, next day irritation, shower/bathing irritation, the fear that it'll fade with time. All these are NOT the inevitable parts of getting a tattoo but just a signs o a bad tattoo or piercing aftercare. That is why Sandra Hayman and Neal Andrews had an idea to create a product that can really help millions of people to avoid all those complications at an affordable price. They fulfilled the idea in 2008 and created a company called Tattoo Genie after years of hard work spent in research and millions of dollars in university and military studies. The U.S. army has conducted tests on the benefits of topical oxygen (the main ingredient of the aftercare) for chemical burns, which are one of the hardest wounds to heal, and the results were successful. Sandra Hayman & Neal Andrews have over 36 years experience in the skin care field, they are committed to a new technology to help people heal. So no wonder the aftercare really works like magic.
"Tattoo Genie is the best! Tattoo's healed with the Genie in half the time with no stiffness or pain. The brightest healing tattoos I have are because of the Genie. No scabbing at all! I love Tattoo Genie and wouldn't use anything else! Highly recommend it for the most vibrant tattoos, it will look just like it did the day you got it!" -Carrie - TTG enthusiast, CA
-I've used the Genie on Dermal anchors. It's been great! Healing with the anchors has improved faster, with less irritation and the client has had nothing but positive feed back!" -Bean - Piercer, Fallen Angel Tattoo
So what is the aftercare routine offered by this new technology: Wash hands with anti-bacterial soap before touching your tattoo!
STEP 1: Cleanse area with a small amount of Tattoo Genie Cleanser. Rinse well several times with water to completely remove any residue and pat dry. STEP 2: Spray area with Tattoo Genie Spray until moist. STEP 3: Apply a very thin coat of Tattoo Genie Recovery Balm (less is better).
Repeat 3 times a day or as needed.
Besides a spray, balm, cleanser and sun block cream, Tattoo Genie also is proud of its other innovation called Oxygen concentrator which is a machine spraying pure oxygen on a tattoo.
"At San Francisco Body Art Expo 2009, on Saturday I tattooed my Anatomy of Lego Vader piece to completion during a 9 hour session. Tattoo Genie helped me and my client get through it by reducing his pain and swelling, and it sealed in my color outline so nothing bled into my light colors. All 3 judges were amazed by how un-traumatized the piece looked for the amount of work put in, and unanimously voted it the "Best Tattoo of the Day", and me the "Best Artist of the Day", beating out world famous portrait artist and usual winner Ceicel Porter. I could not have done it without my Tattoo Genie oxygen concentrator, thanks Tattoo Genie!"-Dr.Evil - Sacramento, CA.
