To tattoo or not to tattoo?

If getting a tattoo is what you really want then I'm here to help you find your dream's tattoo!
What stops you from getting a tattoo?
The real reasons behind the "to get or not to get a tattoo" question
Your family's opinion matters
So what can be done when they disagree?
Sometimes when you think of getting your first tattoo, especially as a teenager, your parents usually tend to get in your way.
"It's a big mistake", they say
"you'll regret it!"
"we will not allow you to do it!"
There must be something you can do!
If they just can't figure you out perhaps it's best that you figure them out and learn how to make them more understanding. Start learning how they, as parents, think and you'll be one step closer to getting what you want.

Tattoos and your workplace
Usually people believe a tattoo can really screw their chances of getting a good job or could attract negative reactions from their bosses or co-workers.
That's not necessarily true. Besides, there are plenty of places where you could get a tattoo without anyone seeing it (unless you want to).
And here are some cute small tattoos that can be easily hidden by clothes,shoes, bracelets or any other accessory.
It hurts too much they say..
How to find your dreams tattoo
The dreams tattoo checklist
Most people, when trying to find their dreams tattoo, turn to zodiacal signs, exotic, tribal designs, intriguing antique letters or even animal motifs. But what exactly fits you best?
When getting a tattoo you certainly step up out of the crowd. But why not step a little further from the general thematic? Your dreams tattoo must represent you! So here's a little checklist before thinking about choosing the perfect tattoo:
1. What kind of a person am I?( static, energetic, enthusiastic, etc.)
"Tell me who your friends are so I can tell you who you are". I believe it works the same with tattoos. Every tattoo has a story behind it - a story of you!
2. Where do I want my tattoo? (foot, arm, neck, shoulder)
You could have a big tattoo covering all your back, or maybe just a small ankle butterfly tattoo. Size matters, especially when your workplace is not that tolerant with tattoos.
3. What do I want it to express? (joy, anger, victory..)
A dream tattoo can better express a feeling than a 100 words could. Think of it as art taken to another level.

Price for a tattoo?
If you're getting your first tattoo, you may have this question floating around in your head. Well, this is also dependent on a combination of factors such as, the studio's pricing scale for artwork done, if it is an original custom design, the size of the tattoo, and how many colors are used.
Realistically, plan on spending anywhere from $65 to $500+ for your new tattoo. Consider it an investment because it will be something that will be with you throughout your lifetime and something that you'll always be proud of.
