1. Do Your Research
Alright, so you want a tattoo. Quite honestly, you’ve always wanted a tattoo. So what do you do? Do you run out to the closest shop and get inked up? No, you do your research. First things first, you need to find the right shop and the right artist. When it comes to choosing the right shop, you have to make sure it’s clean. You wouldn’t want to get surgery in a scummy basement whose worst enemy is a black light, so why get a tattoo there?
The cleaner the shop, the less risk you run of getting a skin infection — or worse. Next up is your artist. Look at their portfolios, and find a style that you like, and that fits your idea. Don’t settle on the first one you see; do your research and check out different shops until you find the artist who’s right for you.
2. Educate Yourself
You want a sweet infinity symbol on your arm, and Google Images found the one you want… and the one millions of people have already looked at and probably got tattooed already. Dig a little deeper when trying to find the right design. Books are a great source, and tattoo magazines are even better.
Only the most skilled artists get published in these mags, so you’ll be seeing some of the most creative work out there. If you want something original, you need to work a little harder to find your design, but in the long run, that extra effort will result in a killer piece of ink that nobody else has.
3. Going Too Small
Go big or go home. OK, not always the best advice, but when it comes to tattoos, it’s not a bad idea. The bigger the tattoo, the more details can clearly be inked in. When you get a small tattoo and try to cram in as much detail as possible, it just looks bad. Fear-based decisions are never sound, and you’ll be much happier with an intricate and original piece.
Plus, small tattoos don’t age well. In time, the lines blend together, colors run together, and the quality just straight-up diminishes. The bigger the tattoo, the better the details will look over time.
