Getting Inked Up? - Remember This

Everyday I hear stories about tattoos, some are good and some are bad. Most people life happily for the rest of their lives with their Ink and some simply regret having it applied to their body, it makes me wonder why, why the regret. What can make someone regret having a tattoo done, here's what I believe.

Possible reasons to regret a tattoo

1) Ignorance: Sometimes people decide to go get tattooed without doing research first, just because someone like a specific artist does not meant you have to like the same artist too. Someone might think that a tattoo done at someone's backyard that costs twenty dollars might look good in their eyes but that does not mean it has to appeal to everyone.

I've seen people who like certain styles, designs, artists, etc. they see in the magazines and they wish they could have something in their body that looks as good as what they see but never go for it, they decide to stick to the basics and after they get the work done they still wish what they got looked as good as they one they saw in the mag.

Remember this

The basics on getting the best tattoo are easy
a) Do research: Don't go for the first tattooer you cross paths with, you have to like their style, it really has to be appealing on a high level. If you look at a tattooers work and you really think looks good enough (magazine appeal), go for it.

b) Hygiene: That's one of the most important to have in consideration. Tattoos do get infected and the scar it leaves behind is even worst. Most tattooers have knowledge on how important hygiene is regardless of the size of the studio they work at.

c) Appeal: When you're waiting for you turn to get tattooed you want to feel at peace, confortable and confident that the work will come out good, at relaxed environment helps a lot. Believe it or not, a chaotic environment is not the best environment to get Inked. I've seen tattoo shops where people are screaming, yelling, using foul language, sexually explicit jokes and even fighting while having customers and they simply don't realize they're creating a hostile work environment which is not good for them and the customers.

If you go to a tattoo parlor and you don't feel confortable the best thing to do is leave. Reputable shops make sure that thier customers are confortable being in an appealing environment, also most reputable shop employees have excellent customer service skills (who knew!).

d) Customer's Health: If you have a health issue that concerns you at the time you're about to get tattooed make sure you get advice from the artist. He or She will be open about what's best, your health comes first.

This posting shows there's no limits to imagination and artistic skills when doing or getting a Tattoo.

High quality work and reputable artists are the reason why this pieces of work came to life. Remember to do research first before getting Inked.

It can be a portrait, cartoon or a traditional, the important thing is to stay accurate and find the right artist, te one that can make your wish a reality and maybe go beyond your expectations.

With so much competition is kind of hard to find a true artist. Tattoos have gone mainstream and wanna be tattooers (fakers) are on the hunt for the next victim which they can simply practice on while making the customer believe their tattooing experience is old enough to make anyone feel confortable.

It don't matter what the tattoo artist can tell you, the main thing to do is to see their work first, they can be good but that does not mean you have to like their signature style.

Reputable artists can be found almost anywhere especially the big cities. There is also well known artists (brand names) in the industry who have developed a style of their own that people can simply recognize one they see the work and know right away who did it.

One thing I have mentioned in the past is the importance of quality. Sometimes people want something huge to cost cheap, most of the time they end up getting tattooed by someone just because they were told their work is good but you can tell a lot when you look at your dissapointed face thru a reflection.

Colorful Tattoos VS Black and Shadowing

A good Tattoo Artist should be able to mix an blend colors and also do shadowing work easily. It is fun to show colorful artwork like most of the tattoos we've seen as well as some black with shadowing. Here's some pics of Great Tattoos.

As you can see, Japanese Tattoo has become popular (exept back in the days in Japan) and a few of the reason is the ability to decorate the body with colorful designs by a well skilled artist. Some people prefer to have a Japanese tattoo done the traditional way while other opt for machines or both.

Regardless of the style you choose what you have to keep in mind is to give proper care to the new Ink so it won't fade or get infected, most important is to see a reputable artist, ask him questions and be open about what you really want on your body.

Japanese Sleeves Tattoo

Japanese Sleeve Tattoos come in different forms and designs depending on ones personality and what he wants to be represented by. Because of the popularity of tattoos, people who want to get one now are more particular in the originality and uniqueness of their designs.

There are hundreds of possible tattoo designs to choose from. But since Japan has been in the tattoo business for a very long time, they have developed designs that people have shown more interest in, nowadays, than any other. Japanese sleeve tattoos is what they are called.

Examples these sleeve tattoos are koi fish tattoos, dragons, samurai and hannya masks. Koi fish designs are very popular because of it represent power and strength and they form an illusion of a swimming fish when tattooed on the arm.

Dragon designs are also very popular, next to koi fish designs, because of the masculinity it creates for men who have them. They are either red or black. This design is also a symbol of power and strength as this mythical creature can breathe out fire and is just ready to kill and take an enemy down when needed.

The samurai is a symbol of heroism and great courage. This is one of the reasons why it has become so popular among all sleeve tattoos.

Hannya masks were used before in some plays in Tokyo. But because of its beauty, it has become a piece of art itself. This is believed to have the power to ward of evil. With its beauty and reputation, hannya masks have become another popular tattoo designs, not only in Japan but all over the world.
