Getting your nipples pierced
Getting your nipples pierced ?
Nipple piercings are one of the biggest new trends for young women. It’s not hard to see why…they are discreet, but also very sexy. If you’re yearning for the trendiest piercing, there are some things to know before you face the needle.
1. It will hurt, but not as bad as you think.
The thought of getting a needle shoved through their nipples makes many people cringe and grab their chest at the imagined pain. It is definitely a painful piercing, but it’s over in two seconds, so it’s not as bad as most people imagine.
2. They may be sore for a couple of days afterwards.
Many people who get their nipples pierced say they have pain for a few days after the piercing has been done. It’s not a sharp intense pain, but a dull throbbing pain. The piercings may also bleed a little bit and excrete a yellowish crust. Both of these are normal, but the bleeding should not be excessive or last long unless the piercing has been bumped.
3. Aftercare is important.
Nipple piercings require a lot more commitment than most other piercings. They take anywhere from six months to a year to heal, so you need to be ready to take good care of them. They need to be washed with unscented soap and soaked in salt water twice daily. In addition, some women like to wear sports bras, or something that will compress them for the first couple of weeks. You shouldn’t swim in a public pool or open bodies of water for at least four weeks.
4. Your nipples will most likely become more sensitive.
Many have said that immediately after getting their nipples pierced, their sensitivity skyrocketed. While this happens for most, it is important to note that it doesn’t happen for everyone. We all have very different bodies.
5. You’ll feel more confident.
Jut like with any other piercing or tattoo, your nipple piercings will make you feel more confident than ever. There’s nothing like walking around town knowing that you have a couple of hidden piercings. You may feel so confident that you’ll start showing all of your friends.
Nipple piercings are one of the most fun piercings to have. The good news is that if you don’t like them in a couple of years, the holes close up very quickly and leave minimal scarring unlike some other piercings.

Memorial Tattoos
Memorial Tattoos by the Skin Factory.
Losing a loved one is a shocking and traumatic experience. It can leave a person struggling to understand what happened for years to come. If you want to honor the memory of your loved one, getting a memorial tattoo is a great way to do it. And here is why.
Tattoos Are Forever
As time passes, we will struggle to remember what our loved one sounded like, the way they acted, and even what they looked like. A tattoo will help you remember them for the rest of your live by providing a strong visual reminder. Tattooing one of their favorite phrases on your arm can help you remember their influence on your life.
Tattoos Are Very Artistic
If you’ve never really considered a tattoo, you might have an idea that they are cheesy or silly. That doesn’t have to be the case. A great tattoo artist is just that: an artist, and one that will honor your loved one by creating a beautiful memorial on your body.
Tattoos Can Be Altered
One of the coolest things about tattoos is that you can alter them slightly over the years. So if you want to add something new to your memorial (such as the name of a new child your loved one never got to meet) you can do so. In this way, you can create a living and changing memorial.

White Ink Tattoos
White Ink Tattoos at the Skin Factory, a Las Vegas Tattoo Shop. Some tattoo designs are hard to miss. They’re big, loud, and bold, especially in terms of color. But there’s a unique tattoo trend that makes a statement in an unexpected and subtle way: white ink tattoos.
White ink tattoos, as their name suggests, use a white-tinted ink to achieve their unique look. In normal lighting conditions and on paler skin, they are extremely subtle and less visible than traditional black ink, which is perfect for those who don’t want their tattoo to be the first thing others notice about them. Even so, this more subdued take on tattooing–when done right–can turn heads just the same.
For one, this style is extremely versatile and you have a lot of room to get creative with it. You can opt for typical white ink designs like lace sleeves, wings, or mandalas, or you can put a new twist on old classics like the Sailor Jerry anchors, sparrows, and roses. You can even have a special UV component added into the ink so your tattoo glows under a blacklight.
White ink tattoos can be strikingly beautiful. However, to ensure they turn out that way, it’s crucial that they’re done by a professional. Otherwise, a botched job from an inexperienced tattoo artist could mean your white ink tattoo looks more like a coincidentally shaped scar than a meaningful work of art.

Our Las Vegas Tattoo Artists are ready to answer your questions and help you discover the creative possibilities of white ink tattoos for your skin.

Keep It Classic: The ‘Sailor Jerry’ Tattoo
Thinking about a Sailor Tattoo ? When deciding what you want your next tattoo to look like, whether it is your first or an addition to an existing work of body art. Choosing a style can be difficult. With so many options available, a classic type of body art has the potential to be your most viable choice. The clean line work, rich use of color, and charming subject matter makes the Sailor Jerry tattoo style distinct, popular, and timeless.
Origins
Born Norman Collins. This Navy veteran was nicknamed “Sailor Jerry” by his tattoo patrons in Pearl Harbor during World War II. He singlehandedly created a counterculture by inking young servicemen who would otherwise be considered clean-cut and conservative. He also used revolutionary and effective tattoo gun designs, sterilization precautions, and the usage of purple ink. Jerry’s style, now coined as “old school” still influences modern tattoo artists in American and worldwide, perhaps more than ever.
Distinguishable Characteristics
Sailor tattoos are easily distinguished by their simplistic, crisp outlining contrasting with dramatic color saturation. Minimalistic shading is also a prevalent characteristic.
Common Subjects
The most common subjects represented in traditional Sailor Jerry tattoos are sparrows, pin-up girls, dagger-skewered hearts and scroll banners. In addition countless coastal-inspired objects such as anchors, nautical stars, and ships in full sail. Although these items are typically seen in a Sailor Tattoo, any subject can be tweaked to accommodate this style.

Cover Up Tattoos
Fixing a Bad Tattoo, Cover Up Tattoos
Cover Up Tattoos by the Skin Factory, the best Las Vegas Tattoo Shops. Sometimes, what seems like a good idea in the moment doesn’t stand the test of time. If this has happened to you with a tattoo, there are two options. One option is to find someone with laser tattoo removal expertise. The other option is to cover up the existing tattoo with something more tasteful or fitting. Here are three things to keep in mind when considering a tattoo cover-up.
Experience – Cover Up Tattoos
Creating a cover-up tattoo is more difficult than working with clean skin. Because of this, it’s important to find a tattoo artist who has experience with cover-ups. You need someone who can assess the area and existing tattoo to determine the best way to design, place, and ink the new tattoo.
Size – Cover Up Tattoos
Simply put, the new tattoo will be bigger than whatever hiding beneath it. A larger design makes it easier to mask the old tattoo and will also give you more possibilities; the bigger the artwork, more detail can be put into it. Your artist will be able to help you choose an appropriate style and size.
Colors – Cover Up Tattoos
Deep colors like blues, browns, and blacks do a good job of concealing old tattoos because the darker (and more vibrant) the new tattoo, the better it will be at masking the old tattoo. In some instances, if your existing tattoo is very dark, it may be necessary to schedule a few laser removal sessions prior to the cover-up. This will ensure that your cover-up is completely successful.
The Effectiveness of Cover Up Tattoos
The effectiveness of a cover up depends on the size, colors, and shape of the existing tattoo, but a skilled tattoo artist can help you find a design that works best with the existing tattoo without compromising your vision for what the new art will look like. If you regret your first tattoo, we can help give you something new to be proud of, or help you get rid of it completely.
