How to get a tattoo, starting from step one.
Step 1- Think of the tattoo you want then ask yourself questions about the tattoo like- “what does this tattoo represent?”, “will I like this tattoo when I’m 85?” “is this something I want everyone to see daily?” and “does this tattoo stand for what I believe in?” Many times, people choose tattoos from a quick random impulse and get to live with that super cute dolphin on their neck for the rest of their lives. Don’t be that mistake, don’t be the person that has to wear long sleeves in the summer heat to cover a tattoo you got on a whim when you turned 18. It seems that lots of people tend to forget that tattoos really do last a lifetime. So with that in mind- choose wisely.
Step 2- Find a legit shop. Tattoos aren’t really the kind of thing you want to find a deal on. Chances are, the cheaper the tattoo, the higher you medical bills will be later on in life From what I hear, blood diseases certainly aren’t a walk in the park. So when you hear of free tattoos or hear of someone who will tattoo you out of his RV chances are that it’s a bad idea. Look around the Internet for shop if you have no friends that have tattoos. Once you find one online, look at all the artist’s work and decide if its quality or not. There are a lot of people who can grab a tattoo gun and call themselves tattoo artists, but there are even less who can actually do quality work. No one wants an ugly tattoo for the rest of their lives. Once you find the perfect shop, make sure they use sterile needles for every tattoo. Most shops will have an autoclave, which is a machine that will clean the needles perfectly for every use. Look into this for each shop so you don’t get more than a tattoo that lasts a lifetime.
Step 3. Save money and call ahead to get an appointment. If you find a good artist chances are they can fit you in the day you call. So find a date later in the week/month that will work for you and your artist. Bring enough money for the tattoo AND a tip. Tipping is important so that the artist will be happy working with you and will want to work with you again… and if you are lucky, the artist will see that you tip and may want to give you a discount on another tattoo sometime later.
Once you’ve completed these steps, you should have a rockin’ tattoo that you get to show of to your grandma and other friends! Take care of it daily because like teeth, if you neglect it, it will neglect you… and decide to fade away a look like a really ugly birthmark. Lotion is your best friend. You brush you teeth everyday (hopefully), so use lotion everyday. Welcome to the world of tattoos.
