Body Care

Consider the location of the tattoo carefully. Some skin spots are easy and non-reactive, while others others might be regular spots where eczema flares up. Even better, do a test run with a smaller artwork or break the artwork down into parts that would look good, no matter what stage you’re at. If you have to stop the process, you don’t want to have a half-finished design. Breaking the work down both helps you manage any flare-ups, and gives the tattoo artist plenty of time to get to know your skin. Tattooing the wrong spot can cause your skin to rash, flare-up, scab or scar.

A leaky gut is a condition in which the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged and more permeable, allowing harmful substances such as bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles to leak into the bloodstream. This can trigger an immune response and lead to inflammation. Other potential health problems include digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, and at times, mental health issues.

On the other hand, an imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to more inflammation, which worsens existing skin conditions or triggers new ones. Our gut is also in charge of absorbing nutrients that are important for healthy skin, such as vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and selenium. When the state of the gastrointestinal system is poor, it negatively impacts nutrient absorption.
