Does getting a tattoo really hurt?
IS IT PAINFUL?HOW SHOULD I AVOID IT?Getting a tattoo will never be a walk in the park, but it can be less painful if you take a few simple precautions.To complete this How-To you will need:A licensed tattoo artistA morning appointmentLoose clothingA full stomachA non-aspirin pain relieverDeep breathsScrupulous aftercareA topical anestheticStep 1: Go to a licensed tattoo artist who sterilizes their equipment and uses disposable needles and gloves. The discomfort of getting tattooed is nothing compared to the pain of getting an infection from it.Step 2: Schedule your tattoo for the morning. This is when your pain tolerance is highest, thanks to peak levels of adrenaline, a hormone that helps us endure pain.Step 3: Wear loose clothes, especially if they are going to be covering your new tattoo.Step 4: Eat something before you go to reduce the chances of passing out from a combination of nerves and hunger.Step 5: Take a non-aspirin pain reliever like ibuprofen about 20 minutes before the procedure.Tip: Don't drink alcohol or take aspirin in the 24 hours beforehand; it will thin your blood, increasing bleeding.Step 6: Choose an area of your body that has more flesh and less bone and nerve endings, like biceps, calves, and thighs, rather than bony areas or nerve centers like the rib cage, top of foot, and abdomen.Step 7: Know what to expect. The pain is often described as a cat scratching your sunburned skin. Breathe deeply, focus on your breath, and try not to move. The post-tattoo pain will feel the same, minus the cat.Step 8: During the procedure, if the pain is intense, your tattoo artist can apply a topical anesthetic. Think carefully before you ask for one; side effects include a longer healing time and a loss of color in the finished product.Warning: Applying excess amounts of a high-concentration topical anesthetic and covering up the tattoo afterward can result in seizures.Step 9: Follow the tattoo artist's instructions regarding aftercare. The tattoo should heal in about three weeks, during which time you shouldn't swim or expose it to the sun. After that, go ahead and flaunt it!You can read up more on tattoos at Astron Tattoos by Pradeep
How long after being cut will a doctor stitch a wound?
All the years I worked in the emergency room, I never ceased to be amazed at the number of young men who at the urging of their mother, their wife or girlfriend, came in the next morning to have a cut or wound attended to. Too late. Wound healing and the knitting of tissues has already started.Now the person will have a much worse appearing scar, perhaps for life. The other alternative is to have a cosmetic scar revision in the future. But that will be a much larger operation and a larger scar than it would have been if the original wound had prompt medical attention and was sutured up.An open (non sutured) wound must heal by “3rd intention”. That means that it must SLOWLY heal from the bottom most tissues upward to avoid sealing in any germs as would have been prevented by prompt suturing.
Who once saved your life?
Many people have saved my life many times. This is quite normal when you are venturing into war zones. You always watch your own soldiers next to you and they do the same thing. If one of them should run into an enemy position or a booby trap, you give him a little hint: "Stop, you idiot!"Nevertheless, there were a few situations that were extraordinary:During the Kosovo War, where I fought with the Kosovo Liberation Army, I once inspected our positions when I noticed that one of our soldiers was not on his assigned place. I asked him why and he replied, "The Serbs had enough for today. They won’t come! “ To make matters worse, this soldier had left his weapon in his position and walked happily through the area.I immediately returned to his position with him, but before we got there, I noticed that an enemy patrol was approaching us through a narrow alley between two houses. I immediately took my weapon, aimed, pulled the trigger, and nothing happened! I had a weapon malfunction, in the worst situation!A short video from this day. The steel helmet that the soldier is waving into the camera is the same one that we found after the enemy’s retreat. The soldier at the end of the clip on the right edge of the picture is the one who saved my ass.Fortunately, our enemy had not seen us yet. The alley that they came along was full of rubble and I saw that the enemy soldiers were staring at the ground to avoid walking into a booby trap or an anti-personnel mine.I desperately tried to get my rifle firing, but I didn’t succeed. The weapon was completely blocked. My "comrade", on the other hand, just looked at me stupidly.I was beginning to panic when suddenly another comrade from a neighboring position came running towards us and immediately opened fire on the enemy.He had recognized our situation from his own position and acted immediately. Fortunately, the enemy withdrew immediately. Later, we found a steel helmet that one of the Serbian soldiers had lost during their hasty retreat.I thanked my rescuer and he went back to his position. The whole thing was no big deal. The next day, another soldier would save another's life.Translated from German Antwort von Roland Bartetzko auf Wer hat Dein Leben einmal gerettet?
