What Quote should i do for my tattoo?
Q. My grandma dies a couple years ago and she was like a mom to me. What quote or tattoo ideas could I incoprporate into my tattoo. She also love pink roses and her name is carol
A. Here are somethings you need to know.
This is PERMANENT! I know that there is laser tattoo removal out there, but it is expensive (last I checked it cost $1,000 a square inch), leaves 70% scar tissue (last I checked), and is 10 times more painful then getting the tattoo (again, last I checked into it). Because of it's permanency, there are some things you REALLY NEED to keep in mind.
You want to be sure that YOU are happy with where your tattoo is placed, don't ever let anyone tell you it needs to be somewhere else. In that same breath though, you need to keep in mind the ramifications as to your placement of your tattoo. For men, a tattoo on the forearm or below the sleeveline is socially acceptable, as men are usually the ones who, do all the heavy lifting, if you will. They are the rough and tough construction workers, the ones who go to war, the ones who do stupid shit and live to regret it later. Women however, are not put in that same category. Women are STEREOTYPICALLY the ones who do the lighter side of things, stay at home and raise the kids, when we work, we work in office type environments, grocery stores, nursing, yadda, yadda yadda.... These places tend to frown upon women with visible tattoos, tend to think these "type" of women are irresponsible, unprofessional, and not taken seriously. It sounds like a bitchy thing to say, but it is the truth, as ugly as it may be. So before you put it anywhere, think of your future, what are you going to do with your life, will this hinder my professional career, so on and so forth.
You also need to think about the possibility of your body changing, whether it be from having kids, drastic weight gain or loss, is your body even done growing. When you get a tattoo, you are making that art a PART of your body, it becomes your skin. Look at your skin now, at your friends skin. You see those stretch marks, those scars from falling or other mishaps? Now think about what your tattoo will look like with those things in them. When your skin inflates (from what ever reason other then just normal water retention) or it deflates, those pretty lines on your design that are now longer thin and pretty, they do what is called "blow out" and make a piece of art on you that looks like Michelangelo himself drew on you, now look like you gave a kinder-gardener a tattoo machine and told them to have fun! The scars on your body, 95% of the time, will not hold color properly, so don't even think you can get it "touched up", because all you are doing is standing on the bow of the Titanic with a water bucket screaming "I'll save us all" when in reality all you are doing is wasting your money and the artists time.
Also, you really need to do some homework on the artist you chose. Don't JUST look at the pictures in their book, try and find some of their work that is a few years old. Most tattoo artists tend to have pictures of their work just after they finish it, when it is all fresh and bright. You need to see how their stuff looks after it is all healed and time has had its chance to get ahold of their work. This is going to be something you will live with form now until AFTER you are dead and buried, make sure it is going to look good later and not just now.
I promise you that if you take your time with it all, your chance of regret is much lower. You hear people say all the time, I wish I had not gotten my tattoo, I should have waited to get a tattoo, I shoulda, woulda, couda, but I didn't. How many people do you hear say, I should have never waited to get a tattoo?
I know that I have given you a bit more then what you might have been looking for, but there is a very good reason for doing so. And please do not think I am some brainless wonder sitting at a computer talking out of their arse. I am actually MARRIED to a tattoo artist (and have been for 14 years now), I have 25% of my body covered in tattoo's and I am speaking from experience far greater then most.
