If your are thinking of expressing your self with a tattoo, don’t do anything foolish. Always have your tattoos done by licensed tattoo artists. Before you choose an artist, look at some of his previous work. If you don’t know anyone who has used him, he should have photos in his portfolio. If he doesn’t have a portfolio, find another artist.
The artist uses small needles to penetrate the skin. A licensed tattoo artist will always use fresh needles to prevent infection. Make sure you see your artist open the new needles before he begins work on your tattoo. You’ll have to see a doctor if you get an infection and you could have an ugly scar instead of body art.
Anyone who hates needles should probably skip having a tattoo. If you want the look without pain, you can use temporary tats that are applied to the skin, not under it. These will wash off in a week or two. If you live near an Indian neighborhood (Asian not native) you may be able to find a henna artist. Henna tattoos dye the skin and wear off naturally.
Permanent tattoos are made by using needles to inject ink into the skin. While the needles don’t go really deep, they can hurt, especially in sensitive areas like the inside of the arm. Areas with fewer nerves, like the upper back hurt less, but it’s still likely to be uncomfortable. You can ask your artist about the best places for your tattoo.
Picking out the art you want is one of the best things about getting a tat. You can choose from offerings you artist shows you, or you can surf the web for new ideas. If you find a design you like, you can print it and bring it to your artist. He can work from your print out and if he likes the design, your tattoo could join his display. If you don’t see anything you like, ask your artist about a custom tattoo. He can make a drawing of the design and show it to you before you make your final decision.
Deciding where to put your tattoo is really important. People who work in retail sales, food service or in an office environment, should probably opt for a location that’s normally covered by their work clothes. A lot of employers frown on body art for their employees. If your art won’t cause problems on your job, put the tattoo anywhere you want it.
The size of your tattoo will effect the price and the amount of time it will take the artist to finish it. Very large tattoos in different colors will take more than one sitting to finish. Ask your artist about how long the tattoo will take. Small tats can usually be finished in one appointment. Be sure to follow your tattoo artist’s instructions for care of the tattoo. It has to be kept clean and dry.
Like any artist, a licensed tattoo artist takes pride in his work and he wants you to be happy. He also doesn’t want you to suffer any complications. He may ask if you have allergic reactions and before setting you up for the tattoo, he may do a patch test on your skin. Some people may be allergic to the ink.
If you are dead set on getting some ink, choose designs that you’ll like ten years from now. You can get tattoos anywhere on your body and they are a reflection of your personality and style. Don’t shop around for the lowest price. This isn’t the time to be bargain hunting. Tattoo removal has to be done by a doctor with a laser and its really pricey. So choose carefully, your design and your artist will have a part in your future.
