How to | Amazing Tattoos

My suggestion (at least for a first tattoo) is that you get it somewhere which is easy to cover for work. Anything below the wrists or above the neck is a pretty bad call, though there are a lot of tattoo parlours which won’t tattoo anyone there anyway. Remember that people really like to judge anyone with a tattoo. My friend is about to get his knuckles tattooed & I dread the day he has to go to court for a traffic violation or travels internationally.

Every tattoo artist will have a slightly different opinion on the best way to care for a new tattoo, but don’t worry, most reputable artists have had years of experience in caring for new tattoos, so their methods have been tried and tested.

Once you’re in that chair, what can you expect? Most likely, the artist will begin the long process of preparing for your work. This is especially true if the artist is going to do a custom design that you brought in. First, the design will have to be worked on. Most artists will play around with the design on paper first, although some artists will do it freehand. “Freehand” means the artist takes an ink pen to hand and begins drawing a design on your skin without the use of a stencil (NOTE: Where the artist begins work with the tattooing machine immediately–the artist, no matter how good, still needs to envision how the work will look on your skin–proportion, placement, etc.).

Before you begin, figure out what design you want for your temporary tattoo. The tattoo will stay on your skin for a few days, so be sure your design is one you really want. Browse “tattoo designs” in your favorite images search engine and you’ll probably get a ton of new ideas.

Picking the right tattoo design is very important. Because the bad body art comes from making spontaneous decisions to go and have a tattoo done on a spur of the moment. If you’re getting a tattoo because you’re drunk or high, rebellious or your friends are goading you, then you’re getting a tattoo for all the wrong reasons and the choice you make is likely to reflect this lack of forethought.
