Advice On Tattoos
More and more people across the world are getting tattoos. They are almost tribal as they are a way for like-minded people to express their feelings. For example, their love of a football team, film or band.
Tattoos came in all different varieties, from simple, one word text designs to full body art. Lots of people find that tattoos become addictive and so end up going back to get more done over time. David Beckham for example, started out with just his children's names on his arms, but now has them all over his torso, back and legs.
Tattoos are often done in symbols such as ancient languages or Chinese characters. It is important to do some research before deciding on what you want and to make sure that the symbols say what you think they say. Lots of Chinese symbols have different meanings and the slightest change can make them read completely differently. You wouldn't want to find out a year after you had one done that the artwork on your arm that you thought said David, leader of men actually says Prawn curry with Vietnamese rice. It has been known to happen so its well worth doing the homework.
Also, it is important that you choose your tattooist carefully. A few years ago a young girl decided to have Angel tattooed across her back, nice and subtle, 3 inch tall lettering. It was beautifully scrolled lettering, very carefully done.. except for one small error, the poor girl ended up with Angle instead of Angel as she had failed to notice the spelling error on the tattooists notes.
So what can we learn from this? Well, double check that your chosen tattooist isn't dyslexic as it can prove difficult and expensive to fix mistakes at a later date, if they are fixable at all. For this reason it is always wise to visit your tattoo shop when completely sober as it will allow you to make better decisions than you might otherwise do.
A good tattoo shop will have a portfolio of their tattooists previous work. It would be a good idea to have a look through this if you want a tattoo but aren't entirely sure what you want to have. I suggest starting small and working up to bigger designs. This will allow you to grow accustomed to the design on your body and if you end up regretting the decision to have a tattoo, it wont be as disastrous if you only have a small one. - 2361
