Tattoo facts you must know

 

• There are different tattoo designs that you can choose from and when you get to a tattoo studio, you will be shown a catalog where every conceivable design can be found. These designs are also called Tattoo flash.

• You have a choice between temporary or permanent ink tattoos.  For some people, having permanent tattoos is not an option because of the nature of their job or because of their religion.  Nevertheless, there are alternatives that are available which make it possible for everyone to discover how great this body art can be.

• Safety should always be of paramount concerns.  If you are going to get a tattoo, one of the most crucial choices that you need to make is regarding which studio you will get the ink work done.  Only get tattoos from places that have sterilized tattoo equipment in order to be sure that you will not acquire any disease because of re-used needles and less than hygienic practices of the artists.

• You will have to care for your tattooed body part well right after the procedure in order to prevent the onset of infection as well as inflammation.

• It is no longer very painful to get tattoos these days because the equipment used for the procedure is designed so that the needles would go in and out of your skin very quickly.

• The level of discomfort that you will feel would depend largely on which part of the body the inking will be.  On areas where there is much fat, the pain will be very minimal as opposed to those bony parts.

• The larger the tattoo, the more expensive it is likely to be.

• In most places, you have to be at least 18 years of age to get a tattoo.  Other tattoo parlors and/or artists though tend to allow even minors to get one.  In any case, you might want to wait just to be sure.  There is a reason for this restriction and it is for purposes of keeping minors safe.

• If you are worried that having a tattoo will jeopardize your chances of getting a job, you might as well choose to have ink on parts of your body that can be covered by clothing i.e. the back, upper arm, shoulders, butt area, upper thighs, etc.
