So you want a tattoo?

If you are thinking of getting a body modification in the shape of a tattoo, then you it is advisable for you to make sure that you have given it some serious consideration. After all you need to remember that if you get tattooed then that will be with you for life and if you change your mind then it will be very costly and even painful to have it removed. You should also give a lot of thought to where on your body you want the tattoo placed.

Tattoos can be painful to have done, and if you do feel that the pain is getting too much do not be afraid to ask the tattooist to stop until you feel comfortable for them to carry on. There will be some bleeding as your tattoo is being done as the needle does pierce the skin.

The bodymodification of tattooing has been popular for some time and there are many different tattoo artists available, however you should do some research before you embark on getting your first tattoo. A good quality tattoo may cost you more money but it will look a lot nicer than one that has not been done to a good standard. If you get a tattoo that has something missing or some words have been misspelled then it may be difficult or even impossible to correct. When doing your research then it is a good idea to ask family or friends who have been tattooed if they can recommend someone to you.

Another thing you need to consider is hygiene, a good and professional tattoo artist will guide you step by step through the safety steps that are taken. The last thing you want is to get a serious blood infection by using a less than hygienic tattoo artist.
