Beginner's Guide to Getting a Tattoo

The main concern when thinking about getting a tattoo should be finding something that

you really like as well as the location on your body. Keep in mind that this will be with you

for the rest of your life, so you must be comfortable with this decision.

Custom tattoos tend to be more expensive and time consuming because they demand the

artist to pay closer attention to the detail and design. In addition, it is a design that they

have never done before. Simple, more common designs are generally less expensive and

take less time.

Another aspect of the design to consider is color or black. Black tattoos are very attractive

because they tend to stand out more on the skin due to more of a contrast. Color tattoos

generally are more expensive but there can be more creativity involved because the

possibilities are endless with color.

The location of the tattoo is key. You must consider some things when thinking of

location. Will others see it easily? Do I want this to be easily seen by others? Do I want it in

more of a private place so only those close to me would view it? Which body parts hurt

more than others?

Generally, places that have thinner skin tend to hurt more. These places include, but are

not limited to, due to differences in all of our bodies, the ankles, head and the lower back.

Less painful places include the upper arm, back of the shoulder and the chest.

Tattoo Safety Precautions

Before making the decision to get a tattoo, be sure you are educated about possible

health risks associated with the practice. These risks are minimal but can occur

nonetheless.

Non-sterile tattoo practices can possibly lead to the transmission of infectious organisms

such as Hepatitis B and tuberculosis. To limit the risk, be sure to see the next section on

How to Choose a Tattoo Parlor.

Be sure to follow the exact instructions on caring for your new tattoo. Your skin is open

and is in the healing process during the first few weeks after your tattooing session so be

sure to take care of it carefully.

Another thing to consider is allergic reactions to the pigment. If you are aware of any

allergies you may have, be sure to share them with your tattoo artist.

There is a list provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that is known as

Universal Precautions. This is part of the Blood borne Pathogens Rule that was issued by

the EPA. They apply in any health service setting that exposure to bodily fluids and blood

is likely to occur. This includes tattoo parlors.

Many states and local authorities have their own regulations for tattoo parlors that are

based on the EPA guidelines. Check to see if your state or local municipality has such

regulations. Also, look into any professional licensure that your state may have in effect for

tattoo parlors.

Finally, the biggest thing to remember when getting a tattoo is to NOT let a friend try to

tattoo you. Please leave it to the professionals who make this art their livelihood. They

have the training and licensing to provide you with a clean and safe service.

Choosing a Tattoo Parlor

Choosing the right tattoo parlor is very important, especially when getting your first

tattoo. There are many things to consider when choosing a tattoo parlor.

Make sure that the parlor is a place where you feel comfortable and relaxed. Some people

have had the experience of joining a friend for their tattooing session so you may already

have an idea of a place like this.

Most importantly, the parlor should be clean and professional. Clean is always important

when dealing with needles and blood.

The tattoo parlor should be well lit. This is important for a few reasons. The bright, or

better yet, natural light is a better way for you and the artist to see the true nature of the

colors used and what the tattoo will actually look like. It also makes it easier to feel relaxed

knowing that you can see what is going on all around you.

When walking into a tattoo parlor for the first time, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Are

the needles and other materials one-time use? Will gloves be worn? How long have the

artists been tattooing? Are they members of a professional organization?

Be sure that all of the needles are opened in front of you. This will ensure that they haven’t

been used 15 minutes before you for the person down the street.

If you know of anyone with a tattoo, feel free to ask them where they got it done and if

they would recommend the parlor or a particular artist. Tattoo magazines are a good place

too. You may find an article or advertisement for one in your area. Also, browse around the

internet to find a place.

Remember, this is a permanent investment, be sure to choose the tattoo parlor that is

right for you.
