The last thing you want to do is regret a piece of artwork or words that you chose to be tattooed on your own body..There are quite a few things one needs to do in preparation of a tattoo. Step 1- Carefully select what exactly you want. The Internet is helpful. Step 2- Consider the size, the piece may be too small or too large for the area. Step 3- Is it in your budget? Tattoos with a lot of detail can be costly. Remember the artist usually charges by the hour. Step 4- Find a good shop or Artist! Either check out their work in the shop in books or talk to some people who had some tattoos by that artist. Step 5 - Do some research on the pain factor for your chosen spot, every place is not the same pain factor!!

Well, there are 5 steps to not regretting your tattoo!! I love all my tattoos! I personally think if you are going to get a lot of tattoos in one region, get some sort of a theme..ie black &; white, color only..I have a all flower sleeve in process and some little things related to flowers like bees, butterflies. The flowers are my kids birth flowers. I plan on adding other wonderful people in my life birth flowers too! Good luck on your Ink!!
