Designing Your Own Tattoo
Once you’ve decided to take the step and “get inked”, obviously you need to spend some time thinking about what kind of tattoo you want, or possibly design your own. Whilst some people are happy with “Flash”, others want something unique - something which really reflects who and what they are and represent.
Tattoo Design : Perhaps you don’t like any of the Flash art you’ve seen, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good place to get some ideas. Browsing through online Flash art can help you to decide the type and style of Tattoo you want. Tatto styles vary widely, everything from tribal designs, stars, celtic to hearts and crosses.
Online Tattoo Galleries : There are numerous online resources for finding the ideal Tattoo for you. Many websites allow you to easily browse and print high-quality designs. Some even offer basic design and production tools which allow you to create a unique Tattoo in your Internet Browser.
Choosing an Artist : Explore some of the tattoo parlors in your area, and if you’ve gotten good word-of-mouth recommendations for local artists, go and check them out. Make sure the studios are clean and well kept. Tattoo parlors have a reputation for being dark and seedy, but there’s no excuse for an unhealthy environment, especially in this age of needle-borne diseases.
Despite (perhaps outdated) perceptions that tattoo studios are intimidating, you SHOULD find that most of the staff are friendly and approachable. They should WANT you to feel comfortable and to share their love of ink with you. If you wander into a place and find everyone to be unfriendly and unwilling to answer your questions, then wander back out again. Of course, sometimes they may just be very busy and not have much time to devote to someone who has a lot of questions. If that is the case, and you like the work they are doing, find a more convenient time to make another visit.
Take you time with this step, don’t rush into something straightaway. Look for proper sanitary and sterilizing equipment (sharps containers for disposing of needles, autoclaves, latex gloves on the artists). Take note of how the artist relate to their customers. Do they listen to any customer concerns? Have they changed their gloves when they’ve touched anything other than their tattooing equipment? (e.g. telephone). Is there a comfortable atmosphere where you’d be happy sitting for a couple of hours whilst being tattooed? If not, this isn’t the right place.
Conclusion - Getting The Tattoo Done!OK, after spending all that time looking or design the right Tattoo for you, now there’ only one thing left to do - go to the Parlor or Tattoo Artist and get inked!
