How To Choose Your First Tattoo Step 1: Placement

Where do you want the tattoo?

You probably have some idea of what you want, but where should you put it? In the art of tattooing your body is your canvas and with all that real estate you must decided the best place to put that fancy new tattoo. When thinking of the best location are two main factors to consider:

Do you want the tattoo visible or hidden? Some people like to show off their new ink, while others like to keep them hidden for personal or professional reasons. Whatever the case is for you and your new tattoo this is the first part in deciding where to place your tattoo.

What is your pain tolerance. You may think that tattoos on the neck or hands look cool, but can you handle the pain? While individuals pain tolerance varies, there are a few place that are very easy to get a tattoo, and few that are a bit more painful. While you shouldn’t let pain ultimately decide where you get your new tattoo it definitely something to consider.

How To Choose Your First Tattoo Step 2: Size

How big do you want the tattoo?

I don’t care what they say, “Size matters!” And this is something you must decide on when getting your new tattoo. Some go big, some like minimal and small, both are good tattoo options, one is not superior to another. This is your choice, so figure out where you stand.

How To Choose Your First Tattoo Step 3: Style

What Style Tattoo Do You Want?

Just like all art there are many different tattoos styles. Do you want something realistic, or do you want something more traditional? Do you like bright vibrant color tattoos, or are you more of a black and grey fan? Once you chosen the style you want to go with you will almost be ready to get your new tattoo.

How To Choose Your First Tattoo Step 4: Put it all together

Now that you know where you want your new tattoo, the size you want it, and the style of tattoo you want, you just need to put it all together. Search online and tattoos that inspire you and fit your specs, then put all those notes together and get them ready for your tattoo artist. You are now just one step away from getting the awesome new tattoo…
