Steps to the perfect tattoo!

Here are 5 steps you can take to get the perfect tattoo!

1. Choose a design: Pick a unique design that is something that you will be happy with for the rest of your life. Really take the time to think about what size you want, the color, and if it is something you will like 20 or 30 years from now.

2. Think about where you are going to put your new tattoo: You have to remember that wherever you choose to put it is going to be visible to either you and your lover or spouse or to the public. Another thing to consider is the pain involved. There are places on the body where it may hurt a little more than others.

3. Choose the shop where you are going to have it done: When choosing who is going to do your tattoo, do your research on how talented the artist is. Go by word of mouth and look at the art he or she has done on others. Make sure that this artist is respected for thier talent and does a neat and clean job. Considering the threat of the HIV viris you want to make sure that health procedures are being taken in the shop that you choose. Use common sense. Don't go if you have any bad feelings at all! Your artist should be happy to show you his or her artwork and should not be afraid to show you how they take precautions in your health!


4. It will hurt: but, if you choose places that have a little more tissue it won't hurt as bad. The places that hurt the most is going to be the places where there is more bone than tissue like the hands, feet, ribs, and up around the neck.
5. After care: You may just think that you get the tattoo and it will heal and then everything is great, but you really have to take good aftercare of your tattoo to make it look it's best. Take the bandage off after two hours, wash the area with your hands with soap and warm water. rinse with cold water and don't put it directly under your shower. Pat it dry with a towel. Don't rub it. Use Vitamin A ointment on it for about 5 days. You can use Zinc Oxide ointment also and make sure you do this 3 times a day. Always keep it moist. Your tattoo will flake but, don't pick at it. And, don't go into a pool or the sun until it is healed. Always wear sunblock on it to prevent it from fading.
If you follow these steps you will get years of enjoyment out of your new tattoo and can feel proud that you are wearing a unique piece of art!
