Tattoos today are extremely popular, and getting one is as easy as buying candy from a grocery store. When you go to a tattoo studio, you can literally pick a design hanging on their wall or in a catalogue. But if this is your first time getting a tattoo, this isn’t the right way to do it.
Sometimes you will find people going to tattoo studios really drunk, and then the next morning they find themselves shocked with a tattoo that they can’t even remember getting. Some even get a random name tattoo, without knowing anyone by that name, talk about tattoo regret.
To avoid tattoo regret, and at least have a pleasant tattooing experience, you should first know the three important steps before getting a tattoo.
The Design
As stated earlier, never go to a tattoo studio and pick a design randomly. The design may look cool and lovely right now, but if it doesn’t have any significance to you, that design could become a worthless drawing permanently inked into your skin.
To prevent tattoo regret it is best to think or search for a design that means something to you. The internet contains all sorts of information about designs and symbols. Also, you can visit a tattoo artist and ask for advice. Give them an idea what you want, let them know what you want to express, tattoo artists are masters of symbols and designs!
The Right Artist
In the tattoo world there is a saying “good tattoos aren’t cheap and cheap tattoos aren’t good”. So having said that, it is best to get a tattoo from a reputable artist, some artists are really expensive, but they are probably worth it.
Care for Your Tattoo
Tattoo aftercare is probably the most important part the tattoo process, and yet it’s the most neglected. Remember, the end result of a tattoo will depend a lot on how it heals, so proper tattoo aftercare is very important. You may have the design that you’ve always wanted, done by the most skilled artist in the world, but if you don’t know anything about tattoo aftercare, then all your pain and hard work can go down the drain.
