The design
So you have decided you are ready to make the commitment of permanent ink on your body. First of all you need to decide on a design that you are going to feel comfortable with for the rest of your life. Things like the logo from your favorite punk band, or LEGALIZE MARIJUANA in bold old English script, might not be such a good idea in a few years time when you have to explain it to the kids.

For your first tattoo try to choose a design that defines who you are as a person, but at the same time you will be happy to wear for the rest of your life. Obviously the size is a relative fact, whether you decide to get a tiny star on your ankle or a full Japanese body suit, it is still something that you have to absolutely love and unless it is on your back%u2026.something you will WANT to look at every day for the rest of your life.

The placement
Now you have to decide where you are going to want it on your body. Tattoos, like art should accentuate the good parts of your body, flow with the lines of your muscles and the curve of your body. A misplaced tattoo can look very awkward and that is the last thing you want to end up with!
Think of what you want your tattoo to say about you. Do you want it visible to the world or do you want to be able to hide it when the occasion demands? Do you want to hide it when you go to work and be able to show it off on weekends, when you change into your "weekend warrior" gear or do you have the freedom to place it anywhere you want?
If it is not a very large tattoo I suggest you put it somewhere where you can see it whenever you want to. The disadvantage of having a tattoo on your back is that you forget about it most of the time, as you don't see it on a regular basis.
See your new tattoo as decoration (that is what it is after all) and so work with your body with the placement of the tattoo, paint it on yourself, use Photoshop, do you what you must till you get the perfect positioning.

The artist
Here we get to the most important part of getting your new tattoo. Researching your artist is a MUST. Go to the all the shops close to you and ask to see the different artists portfolios and take a long look at not just the pictures but the standard of work that they are doing. Take note of the line work and the shading, and ask if they have any pictures of the tattoos after they have healed.
It is very important to find the right artist, your tattoo is going to be on you for the rest of your life, and you don't want to make a mistake at the crucial time of getting inked.

Once you have found your artist and are happy with the work he / she does, go and get into the chair. Don't let the artist talk you into anything that you don't want done, not that any artist worth his salt would actually try and do! After they have put the stensil on your skin, go and have a long look in the mirror, make sure it is exactly where you want it to be. Then go and get inked!!

Hope that this info helped you a little, coming soon ill have my lenses up about coverup tattoos (witch I have more than enough experience on) and tattoo after care.
If you are stuck for tattoo ideas have a look at the links in my links area, there are a host of companies out there that have AWESOME designs, some of them will even make you a custom design and the Chinese translation service is not to be missed.
Enjoy your new ink and welcome to the club
