Some Tattoo Guidance For Newbies

Getting a tattoo is a big decision, if you don't like the design you chose after it has been done then your only options are expensive and painful removal procedures or trying to cover it up somehow. Yes artists can do some wonderful things to cover tattoos up (or you can just cover it with a solid black one like I did!) but it is a lot easier to get it done correctly the first time.

Below is some advice to help you make sure you get a tattoo you can be proud of:

Make sure you choose the best person for the job: We said that choosing a tattoo you like is important, but probably more important is to choose an artist who is going to do a good job of bringing your idea to life. In most countries then there isn't any sort of regulation so anybody of any skill can start a tattoo business, this means the skill level between artists can vary a significant amount.

So that is why if I go to get tattoo now then the first thing I do is buy some tattoo magazines and have a look through for featured artists. By reading the interviews and looking at the awards that people have been given then you can easily see which artists are the most skillful and passionate which makes choosing a lot easier. Alright I admit you are not going to find someone near you unless you are very lucky, which means you need to travel if you want to get them to do the work, but at least you know the work will be top notch. Also it hurts less when you have a professional doing it as they don't go too deep, which is important if you are having it done on a really painful place, like having feet tattoos for instance.

If you have any words in the design triple check them: This is one of the most common problems that I see with people who have had tattoos done, and one that is easily avoided. The most common cause of this has to be that someone decides they want a phrase inked on themselves and then they just ask the tattoo artist for it with no planning. Instead if you take the time to write it out in Microsoft Word and actually print it out (so there aren't any issues with them not being able to read your handwriting) then it will spell check it for you and after triple checking it is all ok you can print it out and take it along with you.

Plan ahead: This is something that I am guilty of unfortunately, don't let your excitement for getting your first tattoos stop you from thinking about what you might want in the future. It is important that you leave room to expand your design if it is in a popular place like on your arm or back, and how easy is the design you chose to add to later or blend in with other tattoos? Tattoos are quite addictive and it will look silly if you just get a collection of individual tattoos, the best designs are those that cover a large area and integrate a lot of different designs into them.
