  • Laser Hair & Tattoo Removal
    Laser Hair & Tattoo Removal Lasers may be used to remove unwanted hair or tattoos. Depending on their intended use, lasers vary in wavelength and energy penetration. Laser hair removal is achieved by causing a thermal injury to hair follicles, while laser tattoo removal is achieved by using a laser to breakdown tattoo ink particles in the skin. Infection Risks Laser treatment may cause superficial burns or injury to skin at the site of the laser treatment or in epidermis surrounding the treatment site. Microorganisms can enter the body at the procedure site and cause an infection. Potential sources of these microorganisms include: • Contaminated or improperly reprocessed equipment • The client’s own bacteria from different parts of the body • Unclean hands touching the treated area. The result may be localized skin or tissue infections or more invasive infections. Additional risks include blistering of skin and localized allergic reactions. Additional Considerations Equipment: • All lasers used for hair or tattoo removal are to have an active Canadian medical device license. • All needles or lancets used to expose ingrown hairs are to be maintained as sterile until point of use and discarded in an appropriate biohazard (sharps) container after use. • All reusable equipment/instruments/items are to be reprocessed after use. • Items that are not able to be reprocessed are to be discarded after use Client Safety: • Operators are to provide clients with information on contraindications for laser treatment, including relevant medical and/or skin conditions, medications and other skin treatments. • Operators are to provide clients with relevant pre-treatment instructions. • Operators are not to perform laser treatment on a client’s body if nearby skin (within 15 cm (6 inches)) has a rash or is inflamed or infected; if this cannot be done, operators are to defer service until the area has healed.

Law School Student Scholarship. 596. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/596 Copyright Ownership and the Need for Implied Licenses in the Realm of Tattoos Kyle Alan Ulscht This article argues that there is a need for an implied license to be issued when an individual is tattooed. In spite of a rich history spanning millennia, the legal community has not come up with an adequate system of determining copyright ownership in affixed tattoos. Complicating this lack of certainty in the field of copyright rights in tattoos is the general unwillingness of courts to invoke the de minimus use exception in cases of copyright violation. This unwillingness coupled with the ubiquitous nature of technology and social media could lead virtually every tattooed person to be held to be an infringer and prevent them from a variety of activities ranging from appearing in advertisements, or movies, to more common activities such as posting photos on Facebook, without a complicated trial or trail of paperwork and accounting. Fortunately courts, relying on theories of equity, have invented the concept of implied licenses for instances when a party commissions a work but does not meet the more formal requirements to own the copyright rights of that work.

Collier STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Central Laser Facility, Chilton, Didcot, OX11 0QX, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract: More and more projects and applications require the development of ns, kJ-class DPSSL systems with multi-Hz repetition rate. We present an amplifier concept based on cryogenically cooled Yb:YAG, promising high optical-to-optical efficiency and high gain. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.3280) Laser amplifiers; (140.3480) Lasers, diode-pumped, (140.3615) Lasers, ytterbium, (140.5560) Pumping 1. Introduction Currently, most lasers for producing multi-J to multi-kJ ns pulses are based on flashlamp pumped Nd:glass technology. These lasers show very poor electrical-to-optical (e-o) efficiency and can only be operated at very low repetition rates (few shots per minute to few shots per day, depending on size). A new approach is required to overcome these limitations in order to advance fundamental laser-plasma research and to enable envisioned real world applications such as laser driven particle accelerators and inertial fusion energy (IFE) production. Two multi-national laser research projects have been started in Europe. The first is ELI [1], focussed on ultra- short pulse laser research and applications, and the second is HiPER [2], focussed on IFE research. Both projects require the development of kJ-class ns-lasers operating at high e-o efficiency and at repetition rates around 10 Hz.

  • “Toughen Up”: Tattoo Experience and Secretory Immunoglobulin A
    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN BIOLOGY 00:00–00 (2016) Original Research Article Tattooing to “Toughen Up”: Tattoo Experience and Secretory Immunoglobulin A CHRISTOPHER D. LYNN,* JOHNNA T. DOMINGUEZ, AND JASON A. DECARO Department of Anthropology, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35487 Objectives: A costly signaling model suggests tattooing inoculates the immune system to heightened vigilance against stressors associated with soft tissue damage. We sought to investigate this “inoculation hypothesis” of tattooing as a costly honest signal of fitness. We hypothesized that the immune system habituates to the tattooing stressor in repeatedly tattooed individuals and that immune response to the stress of the tattooing process would correlate with lifetime tattoo experience. Methods: Participants were 24 women and 5 men (aged 18–47). We measured immune function using secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) and cortisol (sCORT) in saliva collected before and after tattoo sessions. We measured tattoo experience as a sum of number of tattoos, lifetime hours tattooed, years since first tattoo, percent of body covered, and number of tattoo sessions. We predicted an inverse relationship between SIgA and sCORT and less SIgA immunosup- pression among those with more tattoo experience. We used hierarchical multiple regression to test for a main effect of tattoo experience on post-tattoo SIgA, controlling for pretest SIgA, tattoo session duration, body mass, and the interac- tion between tattoo experience and test session duration. Results: The regression model was significant (P 5 0.006) with a large effect size (r2 5 0.711) and significant and pos- itive main (P 5 0.03) and interaction effects (P 5 0.014).

  • Fashioning Tattooed Bodies: an Exploration of Japan's Tattoo Stigma
    Fashioning Tattooed Bodies: An Exploration of Japan’s Tattoo Stigma By John Skutlin, Chinese University of Hong Kong Abstract: This article uses a cultural anthropological approach to examine tattooing stigma in contemporary Japan, particularly in terms of how the stigma has developed and how tattooed individuals engage in various legitimation maneuvers to cope with it. Tattooing has a long history in Japan, and tattoo culture saw a major efflorescence in the Edo period (1603-1868). However, unlike many Western countries, where most tattoos are widely accepted as expressions of individual style and aesthetics, a confluence of historical and cultural factors have resulted in a general antipathy to the practice in Japan, particularly due to its association with yakuza organized crime groups. As increasing numbers of young people go under the needle for what they see as artistic “fashion tattoos,” reconciliatory strategies must be deployed in order to maintain social cohesion and assure adherence to group norms even while violating them. Through historical accounts and ethnographic data, this paper thus elucidates the complicated nature of stigma in Japan and the specific ways in which individuals fashion both their bodies and their strategies to legitimize themselves, showing how efforts to conceal tattoos – even when only partially successful – can be an effective means of reconciling themselves with the general society around them.

In his article, The Art of Nature: Tattoo History of Western Oceania (Krutak, 2011), Krutak not only shows illustrations of the tattoo designs, but provides detailed explanations of the meaning behind each tattoo and the techniques used to achieve them. The idea that the process and meaning behind the tattoo was as important as the finished tattoo itself helped me to create my own tattoo symbology and textile bonding technique, in order to add depth to the finished garment The unique surface design was developed by paring down traditional body modification patterns to their geometric foundations and transforming them into a unique, modern symbology.
