Is the pigeon blood tattoo really invisible? Pigeon blood tattoo effect picture

Tattoos are very popular among young people nowadays. They make themselves look more individual by tattooing different patterns on their bodies. However, there is a kind of pigeon blood tattoo that has been rumored for a long time. It is said that it is basically invisible under normal circumstances, but it will turn red and appear after drinking. It looks very individual. So is this true?

It's not completely invisible, there's just a white mark. More than ten years ago, a friend of mine got a white dove (it's said that you need the blood of a white pigeon). The tattoo artist is from a small shop, so I didn't dare to tattoo him. I just heard about it. I heard about it from others. He instructed him to put the pigeon's blood into a teacup or bowl, put it in a container with warm water, and stir the pigeon blood constantly. Putting it in hot water is to prevent the blood from coagulating prematurely. Crystals will appear after stirring for a while. I don't know if it's serum or plasma. The rest can be used for tattooing. His tattoo didn't work, just a white mark. It didn't turn red even after drinking alcohol. After about half a year, I drank alcohol and suddenly someone asked me why my arm turned red, and the pattern appeared.

The story behind the pigeon blood tattoo

I didn't really believe in these quack magic until I encountered one thing. I have a buddy, we grew up together, born in the 80s, in the late 90s we were only in our teens, just out of primary school at that time. Because his family conditions were not very good, he gave up his studies and went south to work hard. He worked hard for a few years, but it wasn't very good. He was able to support his family and his younger siblings' studies, so it was just average... In the early 21st century, I went home during the Spring Festival. A few buddies got together, eating, drinking and chatting. One buddy saw that one of his friends had a tattoo on his neck. It was vaguely visible and blushed. He went up to take a look and asked him where he got it. It was quite unique. Why didn't I see it before we drank? During the conversation, I learned that there are old gentlemen in our area who can do this kind of tattoo, which is called hidden tattoo in the old saying, and it is also very unique. The guy was very curious about it, so he found out the old man’s address and went to visit him. I was not very interested in it, and because of my family education, I didn’t have such an interest, so I gradually forgot about it. More than a month later, when we met again, I saw that this guy had a tattoo on his wrist, a unicorn. It looked insignificant, but I didn’t ask anything at the time. I just said it was good and quite unique… We met again two or three years later. It was really weird. This guy really made a fortune, driving a luxury car, buying a new house, and being so awesome. But I really have to admire him. From what he said, he was also grateful to the tattooed old man, and bought a generous gift to thank him. I heard that the old man didn’t take anything and asked him to do more good deeds and not damage his own blessings…

I don’t know if that guy got carried away or did something wrong. He died suddenly in a foreign land in less than a year or two. It’s really sad to mention it. It’s true. I didn’t fool you. I think that our body and hair are given by our parents. We can do what we can. Of course, different industries, or different beliefs, social views, world views, and values ​​can all change for ourselves. Jianghu magic can be believed or not. Sometimes there is no need to take risks for your curiosity. Whether the pigeon blood tattoo is true or false, everyone has their own opinions...

As a post-80s generation, I know a lot about some strange rumors. Not only do I know some of them, but some of my generation have even tried them themselves. I can say that I am a real "ruthless person". Now that people have a better standard of living, they tend to care more about the expression of their own personality. Some people will choose to tattoo, tattooing their favorite or meaningful patterns on their bodies to show their personality. I believe that people who are familiar with the tattoo circle must have heard of the rumors about pigeon blood tattoos.

I have a friend who works as a tattoo artist in Qingdao. He has told me more than once that some customers were curious and asked to have tattoos with pigeon blood. My friend rejected all of their requests because it was too dangerous. You don't know how many bacteria animal blood contains, and animal blood itself is very dangerous when it enters the body.

When I was a kid, I personally saw someone who got a tattoo with pigeon blood. That person was my brother’s classmate. At that time, the Young and Dangerous movie was popular. There were many shirtless fans in the countryside. My brother’s classmate was definitely a tough guy. He used a fountain pen to tattoo a big snake-like dragon tattoo on his arm. Later, I heard from somewhere that tattooing with pigeon blood can make the tattoo "invisible" and will appear when drinking. So, in order to show off my coolness and personality, as well as to ward off evil spirits, I tattooed a big "忍" character on my upper arm with pigeon blood.

After the tattoo, you can't tell me that if you don't look carefully, you can't see it. If you look carefully, you can see shallow tattoo marks. My brother's classmate likes to drink. He gets drunk every time he drinks and his face turns red easily. One time, my brother and he drank at my house. When he was happy, he showed the ugly word "忍" on his arm to everyone. It was really darker than usual. Of course, when this buddy is angry, the color of the word "忍" on his arm will also show.

So, using pigeon blood tattoos in the right way does have the possibility of being "invisible", but it must be said that this is extremely dangerous. My brother's classmate later worked with my brother in Beijing. One summer, the upper arm tattooed with pigeon blood felt extremely itchy and swollen, so he went to see a doctor. After the examination, the doctor said that there was inflammation in the upper arm and a little suppuration. After the treatment, he also reminded him that the "忍" tattoo was pierced with a pen tip, leaving a scar inside. When he was angry, exercised too much, or drank alcohol, his face would turn red, so he reminded him to take care of his body.

In fact, you don't need to use pigeon blood for tattoos. You can also achieve the effect of "invisible" tattoos by using empty needles. Once you drink alcohol and your blood flow speeds up, your tattoo will appear. The reason is simple. It's just the effect of subcutaneous scars.

When we usually get tattoos, tattoo artists will give responsible suggestions, and the subcutaneous pigment coverage is also healthy. However, animal blood like pigeon blood has a very high risk factor after all, so usually no tattoo artist will use pigeon blood to tattoo you.

As for the saying that pigeon blood tattoos can ward off evil spirits, it is nothing more than a superstitious saying and is not credible. As far as I know, the cooler the tattoo material, the more heavy metals it may contain, and the more harmful it is to the body. For example, some people try to use fluorescent tattoos, and the effect is indeed invisible, but the fluorescent tattoos that cannot be treated usually have a high content of heavy metals. On the other hand, pigeon blood, this kind of animal blood (or other animal blood) is potentially dangerous to the human body, so don't try it.

Professional master's advice

If you are not afraid of infection, you can give it a try. Not to mention whether pigeon blood can be tattooed on your body, let's talk about sanitary conditions. It is unknown how many germs a bird carries. The blood coagulates very quickly. During this period, you have to disinfect it. If you handle it improperly, once you are infected with an unknown virus, it will be enough to make you suffer. Even when we use professional tattoo pigments, we must pay attention to sanitary conditions. The distilled water used to adjust the pigment must be changed every time it is used, and all needles must be disposable. We should be afraid of infection. In addition, the formation of tattoos is that the pigment particles are relatively large and the new metabolism cannot take away the pigment left under the epidermis. The blood particles are too small to be stored under the epidermis, so after the blood tattoo is restored, there will be nothing left. At most, a scar will be formed on the epidermis if it is pierced too hard.
