About Tattoos

If you are considering tattoos, keep in mind that
they are a permanent part of your skin. Because
tattoos are created with permanent ink being
placed underneath the skin, they are a lifelong
fixture unless you later decide to have them removed.
Having a tattoo removed involves surgery, which
is very expensive and carries it's own risks. As
with any surgery, there is always the possibility
of complications. If you are thinking of getting
tattoos, it's best to make sure that you really
want them in order to avoid having to later go
through surgery just to remove them.

Tattoos can be very expensive depending on
the size of the design. They can range from
the tiniest of symbol to a large detailed image.
Because tattoos can be priced very high, many
parlors offer an unconventional, yet practical,
way to purchase your design of choice. Many
businesses offer a convenient layaway plan
with the tattoos being created after the last
payment is made. If you have the cash to pay
upfront, you may be able to make an appointment
and get the design imprinted on the same day
as payment. Depending on the design and
complexity of the tattoos that you select, the
process can be brief or may last for hours.

When considering tattoos, it is important to do
some research on the design parlor before hiring
them. How long have they been in business?
Have there been any complaints lodged against
them with the local Better Business Bureau? If
you have friends who also have tattoos, who do
they recommend and what was their experience?
It is very important to follow up with references
and as much of a background check as you can
possibly get before agreeing to have your tattoos
created.

In your research, try to find out which businesses
have the best history with make sure their equipment
is clean. This is the most important thing to consider
about tattoos because, if the business is not licensed
or the artist is not a professional, there is no guarantee
that their instruments are clean or properly maintained.
Your health is your biggest concern so, if you are
considering tattoos, be sure to select the best parlor
for the job.
