Tattoo Mistakes!

If you are thinking about getting a tattoo you need to avoid this mistake!

Many people spend all of their time thinking about what they want to get but not where they want to put it. Tattoo placement is very important, not just for aesthetic reasons but for other considerations.

1) Pain: If this is your first tattoo, you might want to avoid typically more painful areas such as the ribs or the side of the bicep.

2) Difficult spots to tattoo: Fingers and feet are difficult for many artists to tattoo if they lack experience in these areas. The tattoos in these spots often flake out because the ink isn't put in deep enough, or if it's too deep, you will get a blowout.

Before your next tattoo, discuss placement with your artist and be sure it's going where you want it to. Do you already have a bad tattoo placement story? I would love to hear about it. Post in the comments.
