Tattoo No-Nos For You And For The Artist

Applying shoulder tattoo designs

There are certain lines when it comes to getting  tattoo designs, lines which must not be crossed either by you or by the tattoo artist.

These lines exist in order to protect your health, dignity and decency, and crossing them will only end badly. The following are some facts about the no-nos of tattoo art.

You should know when getting your tattoo designs that the artist is reliable. There is some chance of blood seeping out through the skin which is pretty much unavoidable. For reasons of hygiene and health, a good artist will wipe this away as and when they see it.

Getting  tattoo designs on your face may seem like a great thing to do at the time, but be aware that in many countries most artists will refuse to do it without a lot of persuasion that you are ready for the repercussions. Many employers will simply refuse to hire someone with facial tattoo designs – especially in positions where employees deal with the public. Granted, you shouldn’t  be judged by your appearance, but people still do it anyways.

Tattoo designs on hands and feet are similarly unpopular with artists, but for different reasons, although hand tattoo designs are also highly visible and a tattoo artist does not want to be the cause of your unemployment. The other reason is that our hands and feet get through a lot of work, and during the three month period that exists between getting a tattoo and it completely healing that work can lead to the tattoo designs rubbing off. If they all came off at once that would suck, but the actual fact it is worse – they come off in bits and pieces and look appalling.

When you are getting your tattoo designs consider having them applied where you can cover them with clothing should the need arise.

Terrible Tattoo Designs – They Can Be There For Life

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Some people have simply terrible tattoo designs.

This should not be interpreted as a call to condemn the entire thought of getting tattoo designs, simply it should be a gentle reminder to anyone thinking about getting ink done that they want to be cautious before allowing the needle anywhere near their skin. Tattoo designs are a permanent addition to your body, so your decision to get one should involve some clear headed thought and consideration.

It may seem like a neat idea to get some tattoo designs after a few drinks with your buddies on a Saturday night, and end up looking  like a horrifying mess the next morning. There is a reason why virtually all tattoo parlors will refuse to tattoo anyone who even seems under the influence. In addition to the hassles of dealing with a drunken patron, they don’t want to deal with these idiots coming back and complaining about their tattoo designs. It’s far better for the artist to lose a sale than to deal with the problems later.

We have certainly all encountered terrible tattoo designs. Tattoo designs which portray a cartoon character in an lewd pose. Tattoo designs which take a somewhat weak visual joke and stretch it so far that it breaks. A drunken tattoo will not persuade people that you’re a hilarious, crazy guy, but it could make them consider you are a total loser. If you are going to get a tattoo, make certain it is conceived when you are sober.

It is also worth looking into the reputation of the tattoo parlor where you go before you get any tattoo designs. If you have a friend whose got a great-looking tattoo, inquire where he went and go there. Don’t go to just any tattoo parlor, because some really aren’t very skillful, and they can leave you with tattoo designs that look nothing like you were anticipating. And pity the poor fool who cannot spell and finds a tattooist who can’t either. Don’t be like the guy who had “I’m Awsome” tattooed across his back.

Put some real thought into your tattoo designs and you’ll end up with a work of art that you’ll be proud to display in public.
