Description

COMPOSITIONS FOR TATTOOING AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME FIEED [001] The present subject matter relates to compositions for tattooing. More particularly, the present subject matter relates to compositions for tattooing comprising at least one cannabinoid. BACKGROUND [002] Tattooing is a process of inserting a colored substance, for example ink, dyes, pigments, or mixtures thereof, into the skin to form a design. The colored substance is inserted into the dermis layer of the skin that underlies the epidermis. After initial injection, the colored substance is dispersed throughout a homogenized damaged layer down through the epidermis and upper dermis, where the presence of a foreign material activates phagocytes of the immune system to engulf the colored substance particles. As healing proceeds, the damaged epidermis eliminates colored substance from the surface, while deeper in the skin granulation tissue forms, which is later converted to connective tissue by collagen growth. This process heals the upper dermis, where the colored substance remains trapped within fibroblasts, that ultimately concentrate in a layer just below the dermis-epidermis boundary. As a result, the presence of the colored substance inside the skin tissue is permanent. [003] Tattooing involves repeatedly piercing the top layer of the skin with a sharp needle covered with the colored substance. Therefore, getting a tattoo is generally a painful process, through people may experience different levels of pain. Inflammation and infection are additional risks of tattooing. [004] More particularly, piercing of the skin causes cells at the site of piercing to release prostaglandins - substances involved in the induction of inflammation and pain. In addition, nociceptors (pain receptors) at the site of piercing release substance P - a neurotransmitter that transmits a pain signal to the brain. Furthermore, piercing of the skin can allow penetration of microorganisms into the skin, thus causing infection at the site of tattooing, or more severely, penetration of the microorganisms into blood vessels, and delivery of the microorganism to other parts of the body of an individual being tattooed. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [005] Before explaining at least one embodiment in detail, it is to be understood that the subject matter is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The subject matter is capable of other embodiments or of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. In discussion of the various figures described herein below, like numbers refer to like parts. The drawings are generally not to scale. COMPOSITION FOR TATTOOING [006] One aim of the present subject matter is to provide a composition for tattooing that is configured to reduce pain, risk of inflammation and risk of infection during tattooing. According to one embodiment, the composition for tattooing has either a pain-killing effect, an anti-inflammatory effect, an antibiotic effect, or any combination thereof. [007] Another aim of the present subject matter is to provide a composition for tattooing that comprises a mixture of a colored substance and a cannabinoid. During the tattooing process, the cannabinoid is injected into the dermis layer of a patient together with the colored substance. As a result, the cannabinoid is absorbed by blood vessels in the area of injection, either immediately, or by slow release, for example during two hours after injection. The cannabinoid has either a local effect of reducing the level of pain experienced by the patient, or a systemic effect on the patient, having a relaxing and calming effect on the patient, or both local and systems effects, during the tattooing process, after the tattooing process, and during as well as after the tattooing process. [008] According to the present subject matter, the composition for tattooing has to fulfill several requirements. One requirement is that the composition for tattooing would be homogenous. Another requirement is that the colored substance that is in the composition for tattooing would give rise to at least a standard quality, preferably a higher quality, of tattoos compared to other tattooing mixtures used in the art of tattooing. Yet another requirement is that the cannabinoid that is in the composition for tattooing would give rise to the local effect, or the systemic effect, or both the local and systemic effects, as detailed above, when injected into the dermis layer of the skin of the patient. Still another requirement is that the composition for tattooing would be suitable for injection into the dermis layer of the skin of the patient, in terms of health concerns. In other words, the
