What tattoo should I get?
When someone decides to get a tattoo, the first thing that comes to mind is what type of tattoo to get on their body. There are so many designs available. The most popular ones are Tribal, Gothic, Butterfly, Celtic and Star tattoos.
You have to do enough research about the tattoo you want as this is permanent.
The internet has so many tattoo galleries available and serves as the best place to seek and find your perfect design.
The 2nd thing to decide is which part of your body to place your new tattoo. If you choose a large design then the back or chest would be ideal to place the tattoo. Once you have selected your design, ask for the opinion of someone close to you. Just remember to choose a design that will suit YOU because a tattoo that looks good on your friend will not necessarily suit you. Ensure you make the correct enquiries before you take the big step.
Tattoos are a symbol of various strong emotions by individuals. Different tattoos display different emotions for example, a Cross will reflect love and respect towards Christianity, if you are a Christian. Another example are the famous Tribal tattoo. They replicate plants, animals and nature in general. So if you are a nature freak, then by all means this is one for you! Women prefer lower back, sexy and appealing tattoos. Butterfly and star are loved by women and girls and also have many symbolic meanings attached to it, like elegance and delicacy.
Where should I place the tattoo?
This is a very important point to consider, as tattoos are permanent, for life. If you decide on a large one tattoo, then the back is most appropriate place. If you go for the smaller tattoos, then consider your feet, neck, arms, behind the ear (like Rihanna), ankles etc. If you are the type of person who don't want the whole world to see you tattoo, then go for places on the body where it can be easily covered up/hidden. You can get tattoos throughout your body except hairs, tongue, nails and teeth. If you decide on a head tattoo, then this means shaving the hairs off your head and if you want to hide the tattoo, just let the hair grow. Another perfect placement is the upper chest and both men and women can get a tattoo on this space. Your chest is a very appropriate place if you want a large tattoo. Women should take proper care if they decide to get a tattoo on delicate places like 'breasts'.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Don't get cold feet at the last minute, because you've heard from others who have and those have not been inked. Different people will have different opinions. Sure, you will feel scared as with anything adventurous you've tried for the first time. Each person has his or her own experience, let this be yours! Some professional tattoo artists describes the feeling of getting a tattoo as 'scratching one's body'. Some people faint when getting the tattoo for the first time. This is mainly due to the person not having eaten for a long time and due to this the blood-sugar levels drop. So, when a person fears that he will be feeling immense pain while getting inked, he or she faints. Many will cry with their first experience, but this is due to their low pain threshold. Tattoos with complex designs can take long sessions with the artist and these long periods can be very stressful for the body and tend to make you feel more pain.
