This is a very important part of getting a tattoo..... obviously, but It depends on what your interests are, or what design symbolises you as a person.
Or maybe you would like to get a tattoo that is dedicated towards a loved one or something that means something of significance. Normally when going into a tattoo parlour most people just tend to choose a design provided by the parlour.
But personally I think it means so much more if you have found the time to find your own design or even have gotten someone to sketch one for you. Once you have found your design it is always best to provide a stencil so the tattoo artist can create the tattoo on your skin to scale.
Or if you don't provide a stencil along with your design, what I did was I took my own design to the artist and she just re-drew it to how I wanted it on the stencil. Now the right place to get your tattoo on your body can sometimes be a tricky decision depending on how noticeable you want it.
It may also depend on your type of profession as well, because say if you're always in an office environment so to speak, you really wouldn't like your tattoos showing and leaving a bad impression on your boss or co-workers. But if you're in an industry like the entertainment industry or involved in some media jobs, tattoos aren't usually discriminated in those types of environments.
Your type of job may not also affect your descion on where you might want to get your tattoo, but also you might need to consider the type of area that may produce more pain than other spots on your body. But it also depends on your ability to handle and experience pain, because everybody is different and may handle pain differently to others.
Before I got my very first tattoo done, I was so close to getting it on my wrist but then my mum convinced me to get it in another spot because she warned me about ink poising that some people experience while getting a tattoo on their wrist. And since I have very sensitive skin I didn't want to take that risk.
That wasn't the only thing that my mum warned me about, "What about when you go for job interviews!" she said, and I agreed with her.
If you're going for a professional job the last thing you want is the employer staring at your tattoo when you shake hands for the first time. So it's also not a bad idea to hear and take in other people's opinions of your idea's about getting a tattoo.
One last thing I just had to mention! was that when you've finally plucked up the courage to get one and are 100% sure, the most important thing to do while getting one is to KEEP STILL at all times!Because you don't want to end up with a crooked tattoo like I have! (pictured above)
so I have listed a website with some great designs, so check them out!!
