Preventing Tattoo Mistakes and How To Deal With Them After The Fact

Thinking about getting a tattoo? Not sure what to get? Well

before you go to the tattoo parlor, make sure you read this

article about the pro's and con's of tattoos.

By following the advice offered in this article, we could

potentially help stop you from making a very bad decision that

you could possibly regret for the rest of your life.

We all know tattoo's can look pretty cool, but get the facts,

before getting the " tat " .

Pro's:

* One of the pro's of getting a tattoo would be that you'll

get alot of attention. This could be considered a con to some

people, but mostly for people who don't like to attract too much

attention.

* Tattoo's can be dazzling to look at or even fun to get.

* Tattoo's may reflect an important person or event in your

life.

* Tattoo's may have a special meaning to you, and your

permanent reminder may bring you back to these special thoughts

any time you see your tattoo.

Con's:

* The number one argument against tattoos is that they are

permanent.

* Tattoos are expensive.

* Some people have had painful tattooing experiences.

* There may be a health risk, if the tattoo artist is

unprofessional, and more importantly, not careful to keep his

studio and needles clean.

* Tattoos may reflect negatively on you, when you seek

employment or a lover.

Taking A Closer Look At The Con's Of Getting A Tattoo

While that tattoo might seem the right thing to do today, time

and circumstance may change your opinion of your tattoo and the

decision you made all those years ago.

Another con of getting tattoo's is the price. The price can vary

widely depending on how good the artist and if it's a legal

artist.

Underground artists tend to not be that good, and they tend to be

very inexpensive. But remember, you will get exactly what you pay

for, and if you are unwilling to pay the rates of a top tattoo

artist, you probably deserve the crappy tattoo you will get in

return for your money. {wink}

I have talked to others about their tattoos and the pain involved

in the process. Some suggest think it just agitates a tiny bit,

or it seems like it's a vibrating feeling. Other reports have

said that the skin around the tattoo goes numb. I have never

personally spoken with anyone who has had an extremely painful

experience, although I know it occasionally happens.

Make sure the artist you go to has sterile needles and a clean

environment! You can contract various diseases from being exposed

to dirty needles or a dirty environment. If you see that the

place isn't up to par on being clean, then you should leave

immediately! Never put your health at risk from someone

uninterested in keeping a healthy environment in which to work!

These days, tattoos aren't the major career killers they once

were. But it is advisable that unless you only desire to be

employed at the bottom of the income scale, then you should take

care to only put a tattoo in a location that can be easily hidden

from the public-at-large.

Tattoo Selection Tips:

Don't know what kind of tattoo you want to get? But you're

ready to enter the rebellious world? Well here are a few tips:

* The number one rule of getting tattoos is to not get a tattoo

of a girlfriend or a boyfriend's name. That's the one mistake

thousands of people make every year.

If you choose later to cover a bad tattoo decision with a new

tattoo, it can come out horrible or great, depending on the

tattoo artist you use to do the cover-up.

Some people choose laser surgery to get a tattoo removed. The

process is usually very expensive and it can leave scarring. On

the surface, laser tattoo removal is not as expensive as one

might suppose, but most doctors require a long series of visits

to complete the process. At $250 per session, it does not take

too many visits to the clinic to create a very expensive

doctor's bill.

Other people choose to use tattoo removal creams or tattoo

removal lotions to fade a tattoo. This option is relatively

inexpensive when compared to a tattoo cover-up or laser surgery,

but you need to get all of the facts before choosing creams or

tattoos. There are certain ingredients you will want to avoid in

the fade-away creams and lotions.

If you would like to learn more about the variety of techniques

available for tattoo removal, take a few minutes to review the

information available at: http://www.healthyskinassociation.org/

Either way, getting a tattoo with a lover's name on it is an

extremely stupid idea.

* Tattoos that represent something important to you personally

are often the best kind of tattoos to get, so long as that

personal meaning will not sour over a lifetime. Tattoos in

memorial of someone close to you is one such idea - just don't

get something that will offend the family or friends of the

deceased.

* A popular tattoo for parents is their children's names, along

with their children's favorite toys to accentuate the name. Also

symbols that represent someone overcoming a burden in their life

is a popular tattoo, as well.

* Although a lot of people I know, think that getting your last

name tattooed on you is pretty lame, it's becoming pretty

popular among younger people.

In Conclusion...

So, keep in mind the pro's and con's of getting a tattoo as you

are considering whether to get a tattoo or not. More than

anything, you need to remember that a tattoo is usually permanent

with long-lasting effects on your life.

If you are thinking that you wished you had considered these

things when you were younger, consider reading the source shown

above or visit the link shown in my About The Author shown below.

I hope these tips have helped you in your journey to the tattoo

world.

One final tip. Always remember: Don't get a tattoo that has the

potential of making your mother cry at the Thanksgiving dinner

table!
