What Should I Get a Tattoo of... ?[You should get a tattoo that has meaning to you personally. I do not suggest names, unless children or passed relatives ...memories. Be sure the design fits your personality and it is not just a trend faze you are going threw...... after all... they are for life. Tattoos should be chosen for something very meaningful to you. They also represent who you are so choose wisley.] Back to TopWhere should I put It... ?[Placement of a tattoo is also just as important as the design. Always consider how it may effect your future career in a society which doesn't appreciate the art. Place it in a spot that accents your body shape. meaning fitting to the area and shape of your body. Or a place if need be...can be covered by clothes if necessary. ] Back to TopAren't Tattoo Painful... ?[YES.....they hurt!! But not so extreme there unbearable. It's really a state of mind. I would say .. the initial sting of the first few minutes are a bit painful ...but the body numbs after 10 min and the annoyance becomes a dull ache you can bear........ with train of thought .I suggest no drugs or alcohol when getting tattooed and a full stomach so you do not pass out. Some people enjoy it very much and its rare you see a person with only one tattoo. Odds are after your first you will return for a 2nd.] Back to TopWho Should I Go to ... ?[Only a professional....Please!!! You must go to a reputable tattoo shop. That has updated sterilization practices. And the artistic ability to give you a good design in a safe clean environment.
