Whoever thinks tattoos are a trend obviously hasn’t been around since the beginning of time and probably doesn’t get outside much. I can’t think of any other way to express yourself then inking it straight to your skin for all to observe forever. Whether that is right or wrong is not the debate here. I think now with the web and the capability to search tattoo drawings, there should no longer be terrible tattoos.

Now we can’t free the planet of bad artists but just do some homework here first. With the web we can explore the biggest book of tattoo flash, designs and even artists in any city, instantaneously. This theoretically takes away the possibility of a terrible tattoo. But a little grunt work and some searching is still required.

I think if you are getting something permanently inked to your body it should have some significance to ya or hopefully it is at least pretty cool. I would try to sketch something up by hand or get an image of what you want and get an artist that could bring it to life. Search the internet and don’t just steal other’s ideas but expand on them and make them your own.

I use a bunch of different drawings and pictures to turn my tattoo into something unique. Go into the parlor organized. Color or just black? My arm or back? Remember you can bring in anything you feel like. Images, photos, even tattoo drawings from the web. I am still blown away by some of the work that tattoo artists can do these days.

Don’t go in under the influence. This is just my personal view. If you are drinking your blood is thin and it gets messy. I think it is safe to say that we tend to do things we may not do if we weren’t drinking and this doesn’t mix well with permanent tattoos. Anyways wouldn’t you enjoy feeling the pain sober?

Heres a couple of things for the tattoo newbies. Well it hurts. I know that nothing hurts you because your gigantic and tough and blah blah, it does hurt, I don’t care what anybody tells you. Think about how it really works, tiny needles dragging across you as they pierce you. I associate it to a lit cigarette just smoldering on your leg. Not don’t let me worry you if it hurt that bad no one would do it. You can handle it, it’s not the most comfortable thing to do, but bearable. The needle they use to outline the tattoo hurts more then the one they use to fill and it will absolutely hurt more depending on where you choose to get it.

The way you care for your tattoo the next couple of weeks after is vital. Don’t do the aftercare half assed as the brilliance and detail of your tattoo is at stake. Make sure you ask questions and get aftercare instructions at the tattoo parlor, a decent one won’t let you leave without this information. Remember not to stop with the care early merely because you think your tattoo has finished healing. Make sure to cleanse it and keep it moist. It will itch but you can not scratch and pick at the scabs. Be sure to follow the aftercare process they give you at the tattoo parlor.

A tattoo is an awesome life altering and life lasting experience you will always have. It is a wonderful conversation starter, a fantastic declaration of life and individuality. This is why it is tremendously important to do your homework and find tattoo drawings and flash. Homework is key so you don’t end up with the same thing everyone else gets off the wall. I hope this helps you on your way and keeps you from making any long lasting mistakes. Now let’s go get tattoos!
