Representatives of the sterner sex often order the master to create unique sketches with predatory animals. Most often it is a wolf, bear, lynx, cheetah, tiger, lion, wolverine, spider. Each animal is endowed with its own character traits, which are taken as the basis of the semantic load. Usually, when choosing one or another predator, a man tries to demonstrate his inner self. The sign of the beast for men is associated with the symbolism of masculinity, courage, power, authority, readiness to withstand unforeseen difficulties on the way to the goal.

An animal can be depicted with a grin, in motion, jumping, portrait, stylized. The same goes for bird sketches. They are also depicted in motion (in the sky, on branches soaring up and heading down). Popular options are eagle, raven, swallow. Eagles are usually depicted as large, swallows - paired (symmetrically relative to the navel). Birds of prey can be depicted with sharp claws fighting snakes.

Body adornment with various inscriptions is one of the trends in underwear art for men. Based on the client's preferences, they are typed in English, Arabic, French, Latin. Fonts are laconic, rude, newspaper, ornate with monogram elements.

Like lettering, numbers are printed in different fonts and in different forms. They are hollow and black, monochrome and gradient. They are multifaceted and can be complemented by various tattoo designs.

Someone puts numbers on the body, taking into account their magical meaning. For example, one attracts success, two is a sign of sociability. Three is creativity, four is a symbol of stability.

Popular options for men's tattoos in the lower abdomen are weapons and their stylization. In this zone, crossed pistols with roses, brass knuckles, skulls of people and animals are often stuffed. Below the navel, mythical creatures (for example, mermaids) can be located. Sketch options for symmetrical works: wings with a cross in the middle, animal muzzles in headdresses with feathers, eyes. Side sketches - scorpions, lizards, masks, snakes, wood. The subtext of the figures differs. Somewhere these are aggressive sketches in the form of a skull with a pierced eyeball. In other cases, it is a snake entwining a sharp dagger, hands, one of which pierces the other with a knife.

On the press, oblique muscles are sketches of animals, volumetric skulls, demonic creatures. The side can be decorated with a tattoo of a fallen angel. A realistic depiction of death can be applied to the lower abdomen. Chinese dragons, samurai, zodiac signs look good below and on the side. The belly can become a canvas for the embodiment of a tattoo in a nautical theme. Feathers, hornets, cerberus, graphic plots look spectacular here.

The areas of application are different. In addition to the central part, tattoos are applied below the navel, on the sides. The pattern can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. If the pain threshold is low, the procedure often has to be stopped until the next session. The most painful part of the ribs is considered. The skin in this place is thin, it does not have a fatty layer. It tightly wraps around the bones, there are many nerve endings. Therefore, when driving ink under the skin, you will have to use pain relievers.

If a man is physically fit and regularly attends the gym, the abdominal muscles located under the skin will absorb needle punctures. Due to this, the soreness of the procedure on the abdomen is reduced. Even body fat will reduce pain. You can fill a tattoo if the skin is not affected by dermatitis or psoriasis. If it is too sensitive, you cannot drive paint under the skin.

Before drawing a picture, it is printed on a printer, and then transferred to transfer paper. It is cut along the contour, cut so that it lies as tightly as possible. Hair is shaved off the skin, then it is rubbed with an antiseptic. A composition for transferring a sketch is applied to its surface. Then it is applied to the stomach and pressed for a few seconds. This is enough to transfer the main contours. The main lines are painted on with a wearable marker. Experienced craftsmen paint directly on the skin, bypassing the transfer stage.

After that, the process of driving ink under the skin begins. The needle is dipped in pigment, contours are created. Excess paint is immediately removed with a cotton pad. If a color drawing is created, they first deal with the black areas, then with the colored ones. At the end of the procedure, a disinfecting wound-healing agent is applied to the skin. The tattoo is covered with a film, securing it with a plaster.

The film applied by a specialist can be removed within 4-5 days from the moment of tattooing. To remove it, you should use a hairdryer. After that, the tattoo must be washed with water and liquid soap. If the master used a regular film, it is removed after about 6-12 hours. After washing, the skin is dried with a cotton swab, smeared with Bepanten or Panthenol, and covered with a film again. This is done for the first 3 days. On the 4th day, the film is removed. Then active healing will begin. The rehabilitation period can be up to 2 months. To prevent it from increasing, you need to provide proper skin care for the body.

It is especially important to avoid rubbing the first time after application. You need to wear wide clothes that will not rub the skin with the printed pattern. Therefore, it is undesirable to engage in sports for the first day. When applying the cream, you should use non-greasy products that do not contain alcohol. Friction can make the tattoo look pale. Along with this, loose clothing will solve the problem of protecting the pattern from fading.

You need to wash the first days very quickly (no more than 10 minutes). Long stay under water distorts the pattern, as does chlorinated water and seawater. During healing, you need to monitor the water balance. The daily volume of water consumption is at least 2 liters. If an unpleasant odor appears, an urgent need to consult a doctor. This usually happens when the recommendations of the koller are not followed. The presence of purulent discharge indicates an inflammatory process.
