A tattoo to get: tongue tattoos

You would be surprised to find that more than 60% of the people who get a tongue tattoo are women! This is a statistical fact!

Men should not be discouraged though, there is plenty of time to surpass women's majority :)!

The profile of the tongue tattooer:
-young, usually between 17 and 34 years old
-not having kids yet
-the majority of people getting a tongue tattoo are: Caucasian.
Hispanics also have an above the average participation.
-people with middle income ($30-60k)

Now..do you think you fit in the above description of a person who is most likely to get a tongue tattoo?

If so, then follow me through the next section where I hope that any thoughts of doubt will be cleared forever from your mind!

You might ask yourself at one point : why get a tongue tattoo? Isn't it more painful? More weird? Is it good looking?

..And you are absolutely right - it is more weird! But that it the exact reason thousands of people look for such a tattoo. If you are looking to stand out of the crowd, to be different, than there is no other better way to express yourself! Plus many people consider it sexy! What do you think?

Painful!? please..that's not a good excuse for not getting a tattoo. You might be deeply surprised to find that a tongue tattoo can be even less painful than an ordinary, let's say, neck tattoo.

Good looking? Well, let me put it this way: it is AWESOME! And it feels great too. Besides its cool look your tongue tattoo doesn't bother you in any way (like sometimes a pierce might do). It is just body art taken to a brand new level!

With these issues being cleared from your mind, lets see what are the exact steps to follow before you get that most wanted tongue tattoo.

If you match the above description of the tongue tattooer than you are most certainly closer than ever and more determined than ever to get a tongue tattoo.

But before rushing to the "painter" there are some things you should know and seriously take into consideration. Bare with me for a little longer as I provide you with some useful guidelines for safely and painlessly getting your desired tongue tattoo:

1.Your tongue is a very sensible muscle, so NEVER do a tongue tattoo unless you are in the hands of a certified professional. (I would advise the same for any other kind of tattoo or pierce that you may want)

2. For hygiene purposes, the tattoo artist must use single use disposable gloves and disinfected equipment. Pay close attention to these details as your health is at stake!

3. Don't panic! Tongue tattoos take between 1 week to 3 weeks to heal, during which you might experience some swelling, the color of the tattoo might be a little pale but these are normal after tattooing symptoms.
You might feel a little pain in the first couple of days after tattooing because of the skin crust that is growing there, but it's nothing to worry about, as after the crust flakes off not only will you feel no pain anymore but your tattoo will look as a shiny,recently polished car:).

Remember to keep your tattoo clean in order to prevent any possibility of infection! Again hygiene is critical!

Now that you have made up your mind and feel ready to get a tongue tattoo it's time to find the perfect design!

Don't underestimate this last part as it may prove to be the hardest part yet!

So, where would you look for that great design that has been haunting your dreams? Well, there are a couple of places where you may find your dream tattoo. But as every beautiful thing in life they come with a price (don't worry, they're not that expensive). Here's a list of the top tattoo design galleries I've put together:

1. www.Tattoofever.net - my #1 choice because it's cheap and has a huge database of designs( over 10.000). Plus they keep you up to date with the hottest and newest designs on the market. Check out the bonuses too!

2.www.Tattoomenow!.com - yet another great tattoo design database. It hit my #2 because it is a bit more expensive than the previous choice and has less designs. But they balance that by providing a great network of tattooing enthusiast where you can see what others have done, the place where they got their tattoo( more importantly), get feedback on your choices and why not make new friends. The extra cash that they charge is nothing when it compares to all the cool things they offer.

3. Last but not leas on my list is www.Chopper-tattoo.com. Again great number of designs but more expensive (around $30).

Now, if you feel like paying for a design is not worth it I suggest you think again! If you already have at least 1 tattoo then you certainly know what I'm talking about. But if this would be your first then make it a successful one- choose the right design!
Besides, whats $20 when you decide to get your dream tattoo?
There's no greater satisfaction than having the right design that makes you UNIQUE!
