Body Arts : What not to do before getting a tattoo

Body ArtsA tattoo is a permanent piece of artwork on your body, and there are lots of ways to make getting a tattoo a wonderful experience…Or a total disaster. The quick list for how not to be a disaster:

1: Do not rush your tattoo selection. It will be there forever, take your time about choosing your design.

2: Do not choose an artist at random. Find one who suits your style, that you connect well with, that you feel will give you the best possible work.

3: Do not price shop. An axiom in this industry is “A good tattoo isn’t cheap, and a cheap tattoo isn’t good”. It’s generally true. You are getting a permanent marking, don’t try to bargain shop on something like that.

4: Do not be afraid to speak up. Tell your artist if you feel your tattoo isn’t the right size, or the color isn’t the one you want…BEFORE it’s tattooed.
