Things to Avoid When Getting a Tattoo

When most people are making the decision to get a tattoo, they are too busy thinking about what they should do, rather than what they should not do. Though deciding on what to do and thinking about all the positive things is fun, thinking about what not to do and the consequences is probably smarter.

In this article we are going to take a look at some of the pit-falls to avoid when getting a new tattoo. Taking the time to read this article and perhaps do a little research could save you some horrible aches and pains down the road.

The first and foremost thing to avoid when getting your new tattoo is deciding to get it done on a whim. Do not just one day decide you want a tattoo, run to your local tattoo parlor and get inked. The only thing that is going to lead to is a lot of regret. Really take the time to think about what it is you want. Getting a tattoo is a life long decision, so make sure it is a good one and one that is well thought out.

Second, never get a tattoo anywhere except at a professional tattoo parlor. Making sure that your tattoo is done by a professional is probably the second most important aspect of getting a new tattoo. Your friend who can draw and just got a tattoo gun off of eBay is not a professional. And his kitchen table is not a tattoo parlor. Tattoo parlors usually operate at a high level of sterilization and safety. Knowing this, you can be sure that your cute tattoo design is not only going to look great, but your chances for an infection are greatly reduced.

It is also important that you do not get your new tattoo in a location on your body that is going to cause problems for you. For instance if you are a business professional, a tattoo on your forehead is probably not your best bet. Depending on the life you lead, both business and personal, make sure your tattoo is in an appropriate location. A good rule of thumb I have discovered is that if your tattoo can be covered by pants and a long sleeve shirt, it is more than likely in a good location.

Those are three things to try and avoid when getting your cute tattoo idea inked on. Always make sure you know what you want, a professional is doing it, and it is not going to be in a location that could come back to haunt you later in life.
