Tattoos

One word comes to mind when considering a tattoo.....

HENNA

Have your design done in henna first to see if it's something you can live with. If not, the henna will go away in a couple of weeks....

Actually there's places now that can do custom temporary tattoos for you, you can find them on Etsy etc. They're kinda like the "lick 'em and stick 'em" tattoo's that used to come in cereal boxes or cracker jack boxes. Except much higher quality now. You could send off an image of what you wanted and you'd get exactly that. Then you could wear it for a week or so and decide if you wanted to get the real thing. Most price them by the sheet, so, you actually get a bunch. So you could try out different placements, or keep it there for quite a while with replacements.

I have no real opinion on tatoos. Not for me. But makes no difference if someone chooses to get one or twenty.
Al i can say is do your research and be certain the artist doing the work is true to his/her work.

a friend had a tatoo done,it was a mess,in so many ways its hard to explain.
He found someone nearby ,advertised on the web. Pictures of work that i percieve were not his. Total scam artist,folowed with infection to deal with afterwards.

Yes. Tattoo's are both an artistic endeavor AND a medical procedure. Remember the medical procedure part, and make sure you choose your artist and shop with that in mind. A surgical instrument is entering your skin thousands or even millions of times, you want to use a professional shop. Like anything, not all shops are professional. You do your homework before you take your car to a mechanic, picking a tattoo shop is even more important.

Raini,
One more thing to add, is be careful, they are addicting. Not many people end up with just one!

Also very true! Most people keep going after their first!
