Tattoo artist at work.

You are on holiday. On the beach or in the club you see all these nice guys with their hot tattoo. Under the arcades in your holiday destination you see a tattoo shop. That’s the opportunity you think: Now or newer.

Never. Simply don’t do it. But ask you: What do you know about the tattoo artist? Are you aware of the fact, that for 4 to 6 weeks you should protect your tattoo from the sun? And just now you plan to tattoo you? What’s about the motive? Are you really sure that you are still fine with your tattoo when you are 60, 70 or even older? Tattoos last forever, but a friendship or the admiration for a star, will it last? And what is, if your taste changes? And one last thing: Do you really trust the hygiene in the tattoo-shop in your holiday destination?

Therefore: Before you go for a tattoo, inform you. Have people you know made good or not so good experience with a tattoo artist? How does the artist work? Does he (or she) just apply a template from a book or does he or she adapt it to your body? The most important thing is: You have to feel comfortably with the tatooer. This person will come really close to you.

And be aware: Yes, it hurds, it really does. After the work began, there is on way out. You have to endure the pain. But if you become tattoo addicted, you must have more and more and more. Believe me: You want click the habit.
