II 图案篇
25 So, which kinds of style do you like, Bio-mechanical, Sketch, Oriental ,Old School, New School or Tribal?那么，你喜欢什么类型的图案，生物机械类，素描，东方风格，旧派，新派还是图腾类？
26 BIO-MECHANICAL is a style popularized by illustrator H.R. Giger, who designed the creature from the _Alien_ movies. Biomechanical work usually involves an anatomical flesh intertwined with some technical drawings of machines. A close relative of this style involves just the biological look of flesh without the mechanical parts.生物机械图案是从画家H.R. Giger为电影《异形》系列设计的形象开始流行的。它通常是解剖学上的生物体和机械缠绕组成的图形。比较类似的还有没有机械的生物体图案。
27 Refers to the colors used, Sketch style requires the artist to have advanced shading techniques for subtlety.相比起颜色的使用，素描图案要求纹身师对阴影有精确的掌握。
28 Celtic is the beautiful, intricate knotwork of the Celts. These are much harder for artists to do, also usually done in just black ink.凯尔特(图腾)是一种漂亮而复杂的打结的凯尔特风格图案。这种图案要求的技术很高，通常也是用黑色做出来的。
29 Oriental style involves the big, bold pieces of Oriental images (carp, clouds, dragons, etc.) based on the Ukiyo-e woodblock prints of 18th Century Japan. Now we also absorb oriental element from Chinese ancient culture. 东方风格包含了许多大胆的东方味道的图案（鲤鱼，云朵，龙等），它是在18世纪日本的浮世绘木版画的基础上发展起来的。现在我们也从中国古代文化中吸取这种成分。 
30 Portraits are some Images taken from photos, best done by someone who can render realistic photographic images. Usually done in black and grey ink.肖像是复制照片内容的一种纹身，通常客人可以提供现实的照片是最好的。它通常也是黑白效果的。

32 Most artists use white ink to highlight certain parts of your tattoo design. 大多数的纹身师会用白色色料来做纹身图案中的高光。
33 The effect of white ink differs greatly among clients, and its visibility and retention on the skin has much to do with the natural coloration of your skin. White ink seems to work best on very light-skinned people，so it is suitable/not suitable for you.白色色料在各人皮肤上效果相差很大，它的效果和持久性和你的天然肤色很有关系。通常白色在肤色非常浅的人身上效果最好，所以你适合/不适合做。
34 If you want the name of your loved one tattooed on your body or your loved one wants one of your name, 150% voluntary permission must be given by both parties as a prerequisite. If there is the slightest hesitation, please do not do this. You can instead use a symbolic object. 如果你想在身上纹爱人的名字或是你的爱人这样要求你，先决条件是你们两个人都要150%地自愿同意这样做。如果有哪怕一丝犹豫，都请不要这样做。你可以纹一个象征性的物体来代替。
35 Contrary to western dragons, oriental dragons are the loyal symbolic animal which show the mystery and elegant. 和西方的龙相反，东方的龙是有神圣象征的动物，代表了高贵和优雅。
36 If you want to have Chinese character tattoo, please make sure you know all of its meaning, both lexical and cultural. For example, the character such as chicken, dog or turtle will make you quite embarrass in social communication in China, for they have negative meanings in Chinese communities. 如果你想纹中国字，请确认你懂得它们字面上以及文化上的全部含义。例如，类似鸡，狗，龟这样的汉字会让你在中国的社交中相当尴尬，因为它们在中国社区文化中有负面含义。
37 Phoenix is a florid and feminine animal in oriental legend, so it is a good choice for ladies，so as peony, the flower. 凤凰在东方传说中是华丽并且富有女性气质的动物，对于女士们来说是很好的选择，牡丹花也是一样。
38 Sanskrit is the language that used to write ancient Buddhist sutras. It is meaningful and will bring good luck for you. 梵文是古代用来书写佛经的文字。它很有意义，并且会给你带来好运。
39 Elephant god is one of the gods in India, which is the symbol of flourish. 象神是印度众神之一，代表着繁荣。
40 Siva is the destroy god in India culture whose body is full of bone ash. 在印度文化中西瓦是毁灭神，他的身体涂满了骨灰。
41 Which kinds of flower do you want, how about rose/lily/sunflower/lotus/peony/cherry blossom/poppy?你想纹什么花卉，玫瑰/百合/向日葵/莲花/牡丹/樱花/罂粟花怎么样？
42 Lotus is quite common in Chinese culture, which is the symbol of cleanness. 莲花在中国文化中经常出现，它象征着洁净。
43  What you are seeing is Kapala. It is the Tibet Buddhist ritual apparatus made of good Buddhist’s skulls. 你正在看的是嘎巴拉。它是用高僧的颅骨制成的藏传佛教法器。
44 Cherry blossom has the special philosophy meaning in Japanese culture. It is quite beautiful but fade rapidly. 樱花在日本文化里有特别的哲学意义。它非常美丽，但是转瞬即逝。

III卫生篇
45 If you like, you are welcome to our sterilization room to see the whole process. 如果你愿意，欢迎来我们的消毒间看它运作的整个过程。
46 We use disposable, single-use needles, disposable wells， and use an autoclave for all other equipment.我们使用抛弃型一次性的针，抛弃型色料杯，其他设施则用高压消毒。
47 You’d better choose an experienced, knowledgeable performer who knows about sterilization and avoidance of infection. 你最好选择一个有经验的，知识丰富的纹身师，他将懂得怎样消毒以及避免感染。
48 Just as in a dentists office, as long as the area is strictly sanitized, your chances for infection will be greatly reduced. 像在牙医诊所一样，如果场所被严格消毒，你感染疾病的几率就会大大降低。
49 AIDS is transmitted by intimate contact with bodily fluids, blood and semen. Intimate contact means that the fluid carrying the AIDS virus (HIV) enters into your system. You are only at risk of infection if you come in contact with infected blood. Since it is only your skin that is being pierced during the tattooing process, only your blood is being exposed. 艾滋病通过体液，血液和精液的直接接触传播。直接接触的含义是带有艾滋病病毒的体液进入你的循环系统。只有你接触带有病毒的血液时才有被感染的危险。在纹身过程中，只有你自己的皮肤被刺穿，你只会接触到自己的血液。
50 If you have hemophilia do not get tattoo. 如果你有血友病不要纹身。
51 There is even a case of a man who was HIV positive who got a tattoo--if you are HIV however, you will want to inform the artist, since its the artist that is at more risk than you. So does hepatitis-B. 也有艾滋病毒携带者纹身的先例——如果你是HIV阳性者，可以考虑告知纹身师，因为他比你更处于风险之中。乙型肝炎也是一样。
52 Your tattoo was applied with sterile equipment and procedure, and with non-toxic colors. We guarantee the workmanship. 你的纹身过程已经全程使用了消毒器具以及无害色料。我们对技术进行担保。
