10 Things For Your Concern Before Tattooing Your Body

For it's fans, tattoos are a work of art. Tattoos are also considered to represent the nature, thoughts and characteristics of a person. Because it is permanent, tattooing should be prepared carefully. However, many people make mistakes when tattooing their bodies. So that the art of tattooing the body does not cause regrets in the future, avoid mistakes that are often made when deciding to get a tattoo. 

 

1. Wrong place

Remember, not all body parts can be tattooed. For example, making a tattoo on the face which is actually less recommended for aesthetic reasons and social consequences afterwards. In fact, in developed countries the consequences of getting tattoos on body parts that look like the face, neck, head, are still great impact in your life. 

In 2011, 31 percent of employers told the Career Builder website that employees with visible tattoos were less likely to move up the ladder. In addition, placing the tattoo incorrectly will also make it difficult when you want to make a tattoo with a large design. That's why, if you plan to get a large design tattoo in the future on a certain body part, make sure not to tattoo in that part so that the results are as expected.

2. Looking for the best tattoo studio

Be sure to do a little research on the best tattoo spots. There are many things to consider, for example the work of a tattoo artist which can be seen from his portfolio, design style, and last but not least cleanliness.

3. Drink alcohol

Never drink alcohol before the body is tattooed. It is a wrong idea to think that drinking alcohol will relieve pain. In fact, if you drink alcohol before getting a tattoo, the blood that comes out will be much more, because our blood is difficult to clot as usual.

4. Tattooed by people you don't like

Well, this too should be avoided. Tattooing the body is a life experience. When tattooed, we will sit and chat, until a work of art on the body is created. For that, it is important to tattoo the body with someone who does not make us uncomfortable. In fact, even if we are tattooed by famous artists, we will not get any experience if we do not enjoy the process. Therefore, do not let the experience of tattooing the body is damaged because of choosing the wrong tattoo artist.

5. Not being honest with the tattoo artist

If we are people who are afraid of hurting people's feelings, we are often uncomfortable saying something honest--whether it's a work that didn't live up to expectations or something went wrong. In fact, an honest opinion from us is necessary, especially if there is a mistake from the tattoo artist. Because, we definitely don't want to permanently suffer the mistakes of the artists. If it turns out that your tattoo artist is offended and angry, then they are not the right tattoo artist.

6. Conversation during tattoos

One of the other big mistakes is not talking to the artist when getting tattooed. If you want something, such as a short break to go to the restroom, just say so. Or for example there is something you want to add, just say so. That way the results will also be satisfactory. Don't just sit passively. Build an atmosphere so that the tattooing process is also comfortable.

7. Wrong Clothes

The possibility of wrong costumes can also occur when we are going to make a tattoo. Newly tattooed skin needs open space for air circulation. Therefore, use clothes that do not interfere and touch the tattoo area too hard.

8. Take Care your Tattoo

Always listen to the advice of the artists about the care of your tattoo. Avoid swimming, diving and bathing after getting a tattoo. If reckless, the risk can be fatal and endanger yourself. Also, don't sleep in a tattooed position, for example sleeping on top of your newly tattooed arm.

9. Stingy

When you get a tattoo for the first time, you will definitely doubt whether it's okay to give tips to tattoo artists. The answer is that there is no problem at all. They work long hours to make the creations we want. It is also done carefully and full of creativity, so it is very natural to give them proper tips.

10. Not thinking long term

This is the most important part, because tattooing is permanent, so the long-term impact must be considered. Some of these suggestions need to be implemented, such as not getting your partner's name tattooed, choosing an unqualified artist and getting tattooed by a friend.
