Tips For Getting Your First Tattoo. People all over the world love tattoos. Those who have tattoos understand the appeal while those who don't may never understand. Getting a tattoo is a personal decision that should not be taken lightly. I am going to give you some great advice on your first tattoo. If you read this thoroughly you will not have any troubles with getting your first tattoo.

What To Expect When You Get A Tattoo

  1. One of the very first things you want to do when getting a tattoo is make sure you have done some extensive research on the artist who will be working on you. I really cannot say this enough. You do not just want to jump into the first shop you walk into. Your best bet is to ask people about this person, look them up on the internet, go into the shop and ask questions, observe the shop itself for cleanliness, check if all the needles are in the right packaging, all trash is cleared up, no blood on the floors or furniture or equipment and so on.
  2. After you have done all the research on the person you will be going to make sure you know exactly what you want to get when you go in. They do have different pieces of art work in books and on walls but chances are that piece has been done so many times before. You can think up an original idea for them to do on you.
  3. Make sure you are at least 18 or older the more thought you put into your tattoo the better end result you will have. This is a life changing event you will be doing. Yes a tattoo can be removed by different forms of surgery but a question to think about is do you really want to pay to have it removed as well as paying for it to get done? That to me sounds like you would be trying to throw money away. I suggest when you get you first tattoo get something small and in a spot that no one can see.
  4. Yes tattoos do hurt or sting sometimes and they will bleed but it is not that bad. They always tell you when you go get a tattoo you should not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol because this makes the tattoo bleed more. Then the artist had to work harder and dig a little deeper to keep the ink from just pouring right back out. Then now not only are you bleeding more but you are also in a lot more pain to.
  5. You also want to make sure you are not sick this may result in the tattoo coming out bad or not healing right. If your body has an infection already inside of it and you are opening the skin this is leaving a big door for more infection to travel into you.
  6. Another good suggestion is to wear loose fitting clothing because you do not want the clothes to sit right on the new ink. It will be painful and may disrupt the tattoos healing process.
  7. Before entering the shop you will want to eat something small some people tend to get queasy at the sight of blood or the pain from the needle or just seeing the needle in general. The food will help keep the queasiness down.
  8. Try hard to relax when you are in the chair to bring something to distract you such as a book, music, or just close your eyes and try to think of positive things. Also bring a friend or family member might help to relax you, knowing you have someone there to support your decision and to keep you from panicking.
  9. Finally when the tattoo is done make sure the artist goes over proper care instructions of your brand new piece of art work. If you feel as though thee is something they didn't tell you ask them tons of questions. Also ask if they have any information you can take with you so you can remember it for when you get home. And make sure they give you the proper soaps and lotions to use for aftercare as well. If you listen to these instructions you should not have any problems getting your tattoo.
