Probably the main reason that people encounter when deciding to get a tattoo is choosing what tattoo design they’d like. This is because a tattoo is “not just for Christmas” but is for the rest of your life.
There are various unique designs available which include tribal tattoo, dragon tattoo, butterfly tattoo, fairy tattoo, angel tattoo and flower tattoo amongst many others which can be found in all tattoo parlors around the world. This is probably the most important decision as once the design has been inked it is very difficult and expensive to remove.
Another design aspect which you my wish to consider is having an artist custom design a tattoo for you. However, this tends to be more expensive due to the additional demand out on the artist to have to pay a closer attention to detail. More common designs are less expensive and take less time as the artist has more than likely tattooed them before.
The next aspect of the tattoo design to consider is “will it be color or will it be black”? Black tattoos tend to stand out more on the skin simply due to bolder lines and contrast. Color tattoos are usually more expensive but enable the artist to use more creativity and add extra character to the design you have chosen.
Location? This is something you must consider as some places are more painful than others. Generally places on the body with thinner skin and are close to bone tend to hurt more. These places include the ankles, head, neck and lower back. Less painful places include the chest, upper arm and shoulders and the upper back. The place on the body that you chose for your tattoo will be determined by some other decisions such as will it be easily seen? Do I want it to be easily seen by others?
In summary, getting a tattoo is a big decision. You should not rush into this before considering the above points and be 100% sure the design you have chosen is for you.
