So you’ve decided that you want a tattoo, easy right? Wrong! Tattoos are like artwork and they can be any subject, any size, any shape any color! They can be cartoon like or they can be realistic. Choosing the right tattoo for you is important so always take your time.

You have to remember and accept that this artwork you want is going to be on your body for the rest of your life, you want to be able to look at it in 20 or 30 or even 50 years time and still think you made the right decision. So thinking about it closely will really benefit you later on.

Most of us know someone who has that tattoo they don’t like, they might have got it removed by laser or even had it covered up if possible, some of your friends might not care and say it acts as a reminder to think out their other tattoos, they will be giving you wise words and the voice of experience.

The first thing to think of is why you want a tattoo, if you just want something nice on your body then think about what you like, do you like colourful things or more sombre things? Are you a TV or film fan, is music your passion? Why not have something that represents a part of your life or have a picture of something or someone you love.

If you’re really into sports why not get a football or pennant from your favorite team? For those really into classic films maybe a Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn portrait would be a lovely idea! Some people however get memorial tattoos these are tattoos that represent the passing of someone close or a celebration of their life!

Running out the day after a loved one has passed away and getting tattooed works for some people but not most unless their passing has been a long process and the thought has been in their mind for some time. Memorial tattoos are ones to really give some thought to. Think of that person and what could represent them and the life they shared with you to make a really nice fitting tattoo.

So once you have decided on your idea, the placement, the colors (if any) and the size you will have to find a good artist, make sure they are regulated according to the rules in your area and also take your time to review their work, most artists now have websites where you can look at work they have done before. You don’t just want a good artist but you want one who is good at doing the style of tattoo you want.

Going into a tattoo studio is often a good idea, not only to look at their work and what type of tattoos they are good at but also to have a look around, do you feel comfortable? Do you get on with the artist? Remember this is your ink, your body and your idea work with the artist and enjoy it!
