When you are preparing to get your first tattoo, the design is of great importance. You will probably spend a great deal of time making your decision, so instead of taking up extra time at the tattoo parlour, spend some time browsing the Internet and even going to the tattoo parlour to find out what kinds of tattoo designs they offer. If you spend the time before you actually go to get your tattoo you will spend less time and feel less nervous about having it done. Let us face it�even if you are a macho male, you are going to be nervous about getting your first tattoo.
Do not feel childish if you become nervous about getting your first tattoo. You may not be nervous about the tattoo as much as you are about wondering if you are choosing the right one or if it is going to look right when it is finished. There are many different reasons why you might experience some apprehension and not all of them relate to any kind of fear. In fact, for most people it is not fear of getting the tattoo but concern over choosing the right design and the place where it will look best. The other thing that concerns people getting a first tattoo is whether they will have a problem at work or choosing an inconspicuous spot so that no one at work can see it.
Today more women are choosing to have tattoos and though many people do not agree with this, it is a personal choice. The one thing that women need to consider, however, is that many employers are more likely to accept a male with a tattoo than a female. Therefore, do not develop the attitude that you have a right to do what you want to your body because the employer also has the right not to hire you or keep you on the payroll. There are some rules by which we must abide and that includes wearing tattoos to work. For women choosing a tattoo design that does not show is an alternative and that includes the inclination to have a rose tattooed on your ankle. It may sound small and dainty but if your employer has a rule against tattoos being visible in the work place you will put yourself in a position where you will always have to wear pants or ankle length skirts and dresses.
How to Choose the Best Tattoo Design
Part of making a decision to have a tattoo is choosing the best design possible. There are no limits to what a tattoo can offer to you. They can be bold and make a loud statement. They can be alluring and much more subdued. They can be over the top or sentimental. The choice is yours but be careful when making it. Ultimately, you will live with this tattoo design for some time in coming. Therefore, you want only the very best option to be what you actually have done.
One of the first things to consider about a tattoo design is how well the image fits your personality. Tattoos are usually to be symbolic of who you are and what has defined you. Therefore, you should consider designs that do well to represent your personality as much as possible. What qualities about your personality are you most interested in sharing with the world? This will make a significant difference in the long term in terms of how well the tattoo represents you.
Prior to agreeing to any tattoo design, be sure there has been a sketch of the tattoo that you have approved. That final sketch you approve should also be in colour. Do you like the colour scheme and is there any colour you want to change out? This will ensure the design has the composition you want. You would not want to look in the mirror and see a design that you hate the colour of.
Yet another consideration for choosing the best tattoo is to invest in a tattoo for the right reasons. Your friend may have a great tattoo that you would like to have. However, does that tattoo have a deep meaning for you? If not, look for another design. Avoid choosing tattoos because of their fashion trend meaning and instead look at them for what they actually mean to you, at a much deeper level. That way, you will appreciate it and be proud of it years from now just as you are now.
