Tips for Selecting and Getting a Tattoo

Getting a tattoo is a big decision and typically comes with a financial cost. Take your time in the selection process. Since you’ll have the tattoo permanently, you’ll want to be sure of your choice. Here are some tips to keep in mind throughout the process.

  • Do your research. Check out local tattoo parlors and speak with the artists before you make your appointment. Be sure to check reviews of both the parlor and specific artist.
  • Select your tattoo design and placement. Once you’ve decided on the look and message of your tat, explore the placement of the tattoo. Some prefer a private spot that would typically be covered by clothing. Others want to be sure the tattoo is easily seen. Some employers have regulations about visual tattoos.
  • Ask a friend to go with you. Life is more fun in pairs, anyway. And, you won’t have to worry about driving.
  • Get a good night’s sleep the night before. Be prepared and well-rested. And, be sure to eat something before your appointment and stay hydrated.
  • Follow the tattoo artist’s instructions. You’ll go home with specific details on how to keep yourself comfortable after getting your tattoo.
