The tattoo is an age old method of self adornment and self expression that is more popular than ever. Today one can find a tattoo on persons of any age, gender, education, and socio-economic level. It's a uniquely personal form of art that expresses a message and tells a story about the person wearing it. There is a story behind each and every tattoo - just ask anyone who has a tattoo about it and you will get an ear full.
Most people have a general idea of the tattoo design or theme they want when they consider getting one. The first thing to remember is that this is a forever step since a tattoo will become a permanent part of your skin forever, short of an expensive, painful, and scarring removal procedure at some later date. Give your idea and design some time to develop and adapt over a period of time before having it committed to your body. For example, let's say you want a yin and yang symbol. There are many ways to present the symbol artistically. Look at many different styles, colors, and representations and think about exactly what you would like to incorporate into your design in a way that means the most to you.
The artist you choose will be the one who inks your design where it counts. Take the time to visit a couple of tattoo studios and talk to the artist who will do the work for you. Watch the artist work and look around the studio to make sure they are practicing safe and sterile methods. You will have a lifetime to enjoy that tattoo. It's worth taking some time and doing some homework to make sure you get the ink you love.
