| For a lot of people they think about getting their next tattoo days after they got their last one. It is important that you spend some time thinking about your next tattoo and that is why I wanted to bring this up to you. Don’t be like some people and just feel the urge to get a tattoo so you walk into a shop and pick one out. This is not what you need to do, being that a tattoo is permanent you need to love whatever it is because it will be with you forever. Advice On Picking Your Next Tattoo Take Your Time – It is important to spend a little bit of time to think about your next tattoo. The reason why you need to take your time is because when people rush a decision it will normally come out wrong. Something that I would highly recommend is to wait at least a week before you decide on the final design of your tattoo. I know this might seem like a long time but it really isn’t. Get Something Small – Being that I have some tattoos, I know that at some point you might want to get something big and meaningful but sometimes you should wait on that. My advice is to plan on getting something that is big but do it in a way that you get pieces of it done at a time. The reason I recommend getting something small and then expanding on it is because you won’t be able to tell when enough is enough until you actually see it on your body. Customize It – The last thing I would do is change the way your tattoo looks. If you are looking at something on the internet then I would print off the picture and see about adding little things to it to make it your own. Just remember that this is going to be on your body forever to make sure that it looks just like you want it to. If your tattoo is a little bit different than you had planned on then don’t worry just yet, every tattoo is different so if yours is a bit unique then that should not make a huge difference. A lot of people will ask the tattoo artist for a recommendation and I would recommend doing this to a point, get some pointers but don’t let them change your mind on what you want. Whether you are getting shoulder blade tattoos or something on your forearm, you need to get something that YOU love because that is all that matters. |

Tattoos That You Might Want To Avoid
Have you ever heard of somebody that hated their newly finished tattoo even though it was something they just wanted to get? This is more common than you probably know and the reason is because a lot of people don’t think about the tattoo they are about to get or where they are going to get it. Getting a tattoo in the right place is very important and that is why I want to help you with this sometimes troublesome task.
The problem with a tattoo is they don’t come off without a surgical procedure and that is why it is imperative that you get the perfect tattoo in the beginning. What you need to realize is that some tattoos can be corrected for minor errors but big tattoos are really hard to cover up so make sure you don’t think that every tattoo can easily be fixed. Do yourself a favor and listen to what I have to say below because it will benefit you at some point.
Tattoos You Should Avoid
Names – Something that I strongly believe is that a tattoo should never be a name of somebody that you don’t love unconditionally such as a child, parent, or brother/sister. The problem with getting a name is that a lot of people get names of their spouses, people they are dating, and sometimes even actors or athletes that they like. Think about what you do before getting the tattoo, what if the person you are dating leaves you for somebody else, they would are you going to do with their name on your body?
Logos – Have you ever seen what some older logos look like 20 years ago. One of the biggest issues with a logo is that the team or company that uses it will change it roughly every 10 years and because of that your tattoo will look very outdated in a very short amount of time. What I recommend is that you get something else that will symbolize a team or company because at least that way it won’t look as outdated.
Faces – Are you thinking about getting somebody’s face tattooed on your body somewhere? If you do then I would recommend that you rethink that. The problem with getting a person’s face on your body is the tattoo articles barely ever des an exact match of the person and therefore your tattoo will not really resemble who you want it to. If you want to do something then I would try to come up with another idea because as soon as the tattoo is on you can’t do anything to get rid of it (other than tattoo removal surgery).
Trust me, you need to think long and hard about any type of tattoo that you plan on getting. What I would recommend is that you think about more than just the tattoo, often times the tattoo looks great but the area of your body is not the best place for it. What I would do is get a shoulder blade tattoo because you can do many things on a bigger canvas and they are easy to cover up.

Best Way To Cover Up Tattoos
| A lot of people in the world have tattoos and millions of people are getting new tattoos every year. The reason why you need to know this is because a lot of job interviews are lost because a person has a tattoo that is just too outrageous for the company they are interviewing for. The problem with some tattoos is that it is hard to cover them up and that is why you need to either get a reasonable tattoo or something that is a little harder to see. I have a lot of tattoos and the thing that I suggest is to put them in spots on your body that people won’t easily be able to notice them. For instance, a back tattoo would be a good one, shoulder tattoos are great, and even upper arm tattoos are perfect for somebody that is looking for a job. My one piece of advice is to never get something on your face or your neck because that is where everybody will look when they talk to you. I know that people are not going to stop getting tattoos and that is why I have created a few ways that you can cover up your tattoos when you need to. The first thing that you should do is use makeup. For men this might be a little hard to do at first because just the thought of putting on makeup might make you feel weird. When it comes to getting the perfect job you might have to do things like this, whatever it takes to get the job, right. I would rather use a little bit of makeup and be the only one that knows about it than to lose a job because of a tattoo that is visiable. Another great way to cover up a tattoo is to simply wear clothes over the top of it. If you have a tattoo on your forearm then it is very easy to just wear a long sleeve shirt all the time. If you have a tattoo on your leg then wearing pants would be the best thing to do. Now if you have a tattoo on your upper neck then you will either need to wear a turtle neck or wear a collared shirt and probably use makeup. What you need to understand is that covering up certain tattoos might be extremely difficult and that is why you should not get something that can be covered up. Something I recommend if you get another tattoo is to make sure that you can hide it whenever you need to. This is probably why I love it when people get shoulder blade tattoos. |
