Tattoos are wonderful expressions that are
permanent fixtures on your body. Be sure that what you want to express today
will be something you won't mind expressing permanently. Be sure that the image
you select for your tattoo design is something that you truly want. Getting a
tattoo on impulse may be a decision you regret for a lifetime. Be sure to think
the process through first.
Custom
tattoos are probably more expensive than stock
tattoos available at your local tattoo parlor. Your artist will need to
spend time on the creation or I should say recreation of your design. Not every
design that comes into the parlor is feasible. Your artist will take the spirit
of your art piece and turn it into something that will be aesthetically
pleasing for your body. Adding to the price of your custom tattoo will be the time
your artist spends developing. Your artist will also spend more time with doing
the actual tattoo because it is probably not something they have done before.
Simple designs or stock designs found in your tattoo parlor will be applied
quicker and will take your artist less time to create. Simple is cheaper.
Custom may tell your story better.
After you have decided on a design you will need
to choose color or grayscale. Black and shaded makes a tattoo really pop. There
will be a definite contrast between skin color and the black ink. Color is good
to. Color does costs more but gives you more design dimension. You can make
your tattoo completely unique just by adding a few colors.
Your next decision is to select your real estate.
Where on your body will your tattoo be placed. You need to decide whether this
tattoo is supposed to be visible for the public or just for you. You must
decide if your lifestyle will fit with public placement of your tattoo. Careers
and family perceptions of your tattoo can seriously affect your life. You are
free to place that tattoo where you choose. The freedom of choice is definitely
up to you but you must decide if you can live with the perceptions from others.
Tattoosplaced in areas where the skin is just going to hurt more than in areas where
there is more muscle or fat. Decide on your pain tolerance level before you
start the process. Your artist may be able to deliver a few small skin tests to
determine if your pain tolerance for that particular location is acceptable.
Areas with thinner skin include ankles, head, chest and lower back. Areas where
pain may not be as intense include arms, legs, shoulders and your rear end.
