The tattooing business is booming right now even though the stock market and economy isn't doing so well. So with that being said more and more people are heading to their local tattoo parlor to get some fresh ink. Some of these people are repeat customers while others are first timers. If you are a first timer there are probably a hundreds questions, thoughts and concerns going through your head about actually going through with the whole tattoo process. Below are a few useful tips that you should familiarize yourself with before you head to your local tattoo parlor and get inked.
* Make sure you educated yourself on tattoos and tattooing. It is better to know how the tattoos work and what all is involved in the process. Also it also helps to find out how much pain and discomfort will be involved before hand so you can prepare yourself. A no brainier is that this tattoo will be with you for the rest of your life so make sure you are making the right decision. After all it is better to be a little cautious than to get one on the spur of the moment and regret it later.
*Make sure the tattoo parlor of your choice is clean and follows the proper cleaning and sterilizing that is required for tattoo parlors in your state. All tattoo parlors should have an autoclave, use new needles for every customer and wear new disposable gloves with every client.
*Select the right designs. This is very important. You have numerous outlets to find a design you will be happy with the rest of your life. If you can't find one at the tattoo parlor look through magazines, the internet, books, or come up with one yourself. But keep in mind a custom tattoo will end up costing you more.
*Ink proofing is very important. If you like black ink tattoos this rule doesn't apply to you as much. However, if you want to add some color to your tattoo it is best to ask the artist to proof the ink to make sure it will look right on your skin tone. Some ink colors look good on some skin tones while other's don't. Lastly, some ink colors tend to fad and look dull on certain skin tones.
