"Think Before You Ink"

A tattoo, unlike most things in life cannot easily be discarded. Once a tattoo has been inked into your skin it's there to stay. You'll have to live with it, day in day out, week in week out - for the rest of your life. So if you've changed your mind, or made a mistake choosing a design, you're going to be stuck with it. You'll begin to dislike your tattoo - you'll end up loathing it, and wishing with all your heart and skin that you'd taken more time and given more thought to what is an important and far-reaching decision. After all, you wouldn't buy the first house you saw, would you? Or decide on a car at a dealer's garage because there were only a few to choose from? So why be in a hurry to pick a tattoo?

Of course, it is possible to have a tattoo removed from your skin - but it's expensive, painful and can leave scarring. And to cap all that, there is no guarantee of complete success!

Statistics tell us that over 30% of people who get a tattoo regret their decision a few months later. Why? Because they did not do their research. They went to a tattoo studio - probably on the spur of the moment - and were persuaded by the salesperson to choose a design and have it done then and there. Not a good decision! There is no cooling-off period like there is with that double-glazing hard-sell guy who comes to your home. Before you know it, that tattoo artist has got to work on your precious skin and it's too late to say "Er, excuse me - can I have the wolf instead?" Choosing the tattoo that is "right" for you takes time.

It's going to be part of you. Your choice of tattoo will reflect your personality. You need to think about where on your body to position it - what colour to have -what size to choose - and most important of all - what design. How can you do that in a few minutes when a sales guy on commission is breathing down your neck and telling you that the pink elephant will look fantastic on you? The very best case scenario here is that the tattoo will look OK - just OK. Is that what you want? This is a piece of art that will be on your body for a lifetime. It's got to be WAY better than OK. You have to LOVE it!!

So how do you avoid the pitfalls and take steps to pick a tattoo that you'll love to live with? Well, first of all,

Choosing a tattoo from an on-line catalogue is a great idea - you can take your time and choose in the comfort and privacy of your own home. You pay a one-off fee and have access to a database of thousands of amazing tattoos. Imagine being able to pick a design, print it out in all its glory and then take all the time you need to decide if it is really "you". And your chosen design will be detailed and clear enough for your tattoo artist to produce the perfect result. You won't have a single worry!

Chopper Tattoos have established a top-class reputation for having one of the largest on-line databases of quality tattoo designs available today. They have thousands of wonderful designs to choose from - and more are added every day!

Yes, you can get free tattoo designs. But they won't usually be of prime quality - which will make your tattoo artist's job harder.

Now, I'm not saying that getting something for nothing is a bad thing. But the problem with a free tattoo design is that often you do not get all the things you need to enable your tattoo artist to do his job properly.

You may have to "enlarge" your free design - which can spoil the quality and clarity. Which means you turn up at your chosen tattoo artist's studio with a "fuzzy" picture and expect him to do a professional job. Well that wouldn't be my favourite option!

In this world, you get what you pay for. This also applies to the tattoo artist you choose. For pity's sake, don't try getting a tattoo done on the cheap. Not only will you get a poor job done, you risk infection if the artist's hygiene is dodgy.

Good tattoo artists are highly skilled professionals - find one by recommendation if you can, and be prepared to pay his fee.

So you've found your inky Michaelangelo. What's the point in taking him a poor quality design that you downloaded for free? For just a few dollars more you can hand him a superb design that you'll both be delighted with!

Ready for that big decision? Eager to choose that perfect design? Well, go for it! Click Here and pick a tattoo you can love and live with forever!

I wish you all the best. May you find exactly what you're looking for!
