Yes, Batman is a badass, Spider-Man is cool and it’s awesome that Superman can subdue an intergalactic menace with a flick of his cape. The emblems emblazoned on their chests represent heroic greatness in their stories, but when they’re tattooed on you, they tend to represent your geekiness. Let’s face it, comic books are fun to read, but if you’re proudly displaying your loyalty, you may find your only female fans at Comic-Con.

Alternative: A family emblem or crest
A tattoo of a family emblem or crest gives you something real to stand behind, plus it’s unique to you. The best part: You can feel proud talking about it with a woman the morning after.

This is a great placement because it is said to be low on the pain scale, it’s good space for smaller tattoos or words, and can also be hidden for work. Stack on a couple bracelets or a watch and voila! Depending on the size of your tattoo, and depending on your body, it will heal rather quickly. Just be sure to take care of it of course, and stay clear of the jewelry until it is totally healed!

As the old adage goes, to err is human and to forgive is divine. Admitting to the error of a large calf tattoo portraying your love of soccer and fire (or an amalgam of both) is the first step toward forgiveness; the second step is getting a talented tattoo artist to conceal the “art.” Then again, sometimes a tattoo is necessary to turn your flaming Dr. Pepper leg burn into a spot on a pretty kitty cat. This is also acceptable, so long as that “kitty” is actually a “bulldog” or other such manly dog.

For many years the nautical star was a popular tattoo for sailors and was thought to be a sign of luck, protection and guidance. It was meant to be a guide that would always lead the sailor home safely. Before the acceptance of homosexuality was commonplace in the mainstream the tattoo was adopted by lesbian women as a way of secretly denoting their homosexuality to others. In the later case the tattoo was often small and placed on the wrist to make it easily covered by a wristwatch.

Never select an artist who can not produce some kind of portfolio. A photo album of tattoos done on living skin should be provided for you to look at in the studio. An artistic display of stock tattoos on the walls is not enough to tell you that the artist has a good reputation.

 

One of the painful places to get a tattoo is behind the ear. The pain you can feel will depend on the tattoo size and how complicated the design is. But the pain can be tolerable even if there is no anesthesia available. The ear has its soft bony part and when you start to get tattooed, the feeling of pain is just like getting your earrings for the first time. Tattooing is not just considered as a cultural thing, but an art. It is important to think many times before getting yourself inked since it is a permanent body modification.
