Getting Your First Tattoo
   
Getting your first tattoo can be both
exciting and nerveracking. But, there are a number of things
you can do to make it easier on yourself.
- One of the most important things, when deciding to
get that first tattoo, is to find a
reputable tattoo parlor. Stay away
from unlicensed places, or tattoo
artists who work out of their homes. Chances are that
their standards may not be as high as those of licensed
parlors. Ask friends about their experiences and be
sure to visit the parlor. While there, look around and
talk to the artists. Is the parlor clean? Are the
artists willing to talk about procedures and
cleanliness? Make an appointment if you like what you
see.
- Before booking an appointment, you'll want to look
at lots of designs so you get the right one.
Tattoo My Brain has a huge selection
of designs of every type to choose from. You really
can't go wrong with this site. Once you find the one
you want, print it off and bring it into the tattoo
parlor. Ask to see samples of the tattoo artists' work
so you can choose an artist who has a style that
matches your expectations. Does one of the artists'
specialize in the type of tattoo you are looking for?
At this point get a price estimate. It wouldn't hurt to
visit several parlors to get a few other prices just so
you can compare.
- As the time approaches for your appointment, get
your body ready. Put lots of lotion on the spot you
have chosen for your tattoo in the week before you are
to have it done. Drink lots of water too. Well
moisturized, hydrated skin is easier to tattoo. Avoid
drinking or taking aspirin for a few days prior to your
appointment. Both alcohol and aspirin are blood
thinners, so style,design,if you have these in your
system, you'll bleed a lot more when you are getting
your tattoo, and this makes it more difficult for the
artist to work.
- Try to schedule your appointment on a day when you
will have lots of time to get the tattoo. This takes
some of the stress and pressure off of you, as you
won't be worrying about time constraints. It also
avoids rushing the artist. Depending on how complex and
how many colors are being applied, you may have to make
more than one visit.
- Getting a tattoo is painful. Some people have a
lower tolerance for pain than others. In any case there
will be some discomfort, so be prepared and try to
relax. Maybe bring your Ipod to listen to, a magazine
to read, or video game to play. Keeping yourself
occupied will help pass the time more quickly and make
you less aware of pain.
Be sure to follow the after- care recommendations that your
artist will give you, in order for your tat to heal properly.
When your tattoo has healed, pay a return visit to the parlor
to show your artist. He or she will be able to schedule your
next appointment if you're getting more work done, or even do a
touch-up if needed.
If you follow these suggestions getting your first tattoo
will be no problem.
