How To Avoid A Tattoo Disaster
Removing a tattoo is a long and expensive process, or a painful one if you have it surgically removed, so when you decide to get a tattoo then make sure you are certain it is what you want. If you find a really good artist then they can try to cover over a bad tattoo, but that is a complex process so really it is better to choose carefully and get it right first time.
Below are 3 tips to help you avoid some common tattoo mistakes that people make:
Make sure you choose the best person for the job: We've already discussed how important it is that you get your tattoo right, and that means getting the right person to actually do the work. The skill level of artists varies massively and in most countries I don't think there is even an exam that people need to take for them to set up as a tattoo artists.
So that is why if I go to get tattoo now then the first thing I do is buy some tattoo magazines and have a look through for featured artists. You can really get a good idea from the write ups in there about which artists are really skillful and passionate about what they do, and you can see which have won awards etc to help you choose. Ok you are probably going to have to travel to actually get some time with one of those artists, but when the result lasts a lifetime then isn't it worth a bit of extra effort? It also hurts less if your artist knows what they are doing, so if you are having tattoos on your feet which is supposed to be very painful then you will glad you picked somebody good!
If you have any words in the design triple check them: Unfortunately misspelled words are one of the most common and embarrassing mistakes that I see happening. The most common cause of this has to be that someone decides they want a phrase inked on themselves and then they just ask the tattoo artist for it with no planning. Instead if you take the time to write it out in Microsoft Word and actually print it out (so there aren't any issues with them not being able to read your handwriting) then it will spell check it for you and after triple checking it is all ok you can print it out and take it along with you.
Think ahead: This is something that I am guilty of unfortunately, don't let your excitement for getting your first tattoos stop you from thinking about what you might want in the future. It is important that you leave room to expand your design if it is in a popular place like on your arm or back, and how easy is the design you chose to add to later or blend in with other tattoos? You will probably end up getting at least two or three more tattoos, if not a lot more, and if they are all individual designs which don't mesh in any way then that can look strange, so instead follow a theme or get multiple tattoos in one area which join up nicely to form a much larger piece.
