Unique Permanent Tattoo Designs

The most important step is making the decision if you want a tattoo on your body until the day that you die.

That's either a YES or a NO.

I must say, when tastefully done tattoos can look amazing, that is why it is so important to choose a unique tattoo design!

I would suggest choosing a timeless design, that doesn't lose meaning as you get older. This means don't get a tattoo with your girlfriends name on it if you've been seeing her for 3 months.

CHOPPER TATTOOS has a huge selection of amazing designs that make you go WOW...I want that!

If you're serious about getting a tattoo, and you do some browsing, avoid the generic sites offering free tattoos, and make sure you choose a unique and meaningful design.

Another suggestion...once you have decided on your design, print it out and put it away.

Don't look at it for 6 months.

After 6 months take it out and then see how you feel about it, if you without a doubt feel that that is the tattoo you want, then you can go out and get inked, and be sure that you have made the right choice:)

1.) PICK A TATTOO DESIGN

This means choosing a design that is unique and meaningful to you, one that you are willing to live with for the rest of your life. Think about the size, the color and if you want graphics or lettering.Make sure the design is timeless, and not related to a current trend or something that will fade because the tattoo is permanent!

Chopper Tattoo Design Gallery has thousands of unique award-winning designs to choose from, everything from graphics, to animals to lettering!

2.) DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT YOUR TATTOO

Depending on where you get your tattoo on your body there are different levels of pain involved.
Will the location of your tattoo affect your career or relationship one day? Do you want it visible to everyone, or hidden so it can only be seen by someone who is intimate with you?

3.) CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL TATTOO STUDIO!

With the constant threat of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis, strong measures are being taken by local governments to standardize the health procedures followed by tattoo shops. Many reputable tattoo shops govern themselves, following strict codes of cleanliness and anti cross-contamination practices. But when it comes to your health, common sense should rule above all else. If you see something that you feel will jeopardize your health, question it. Don't take unnecessary chances.

4.)DOES IT HURT??

Your sternum,hands,ribs and feet are very sensitive, the least painful areas and often the most popular because of that fact, are the upper arms,calves,shoulder blades, outer thighs and your bottom.

5.) TATTOO AFTER CARE

Remove the bandage after 2 hours (do not rebandage)

Wash tattoo with your hand (make sure hand is clean) using warm, soapy water. Rinse with cold water. Don't over soak your tattoo. Keep out of the direct spray of the shower. Pat dry, DO NOT rub with towel.

For 3 to 5 days or until tattoo is healed, apply Vitamin A&D Ointment or Bacitracin or Zinc Oxide Ointment 3 to 4 times daily after washing tattoo. Keep tattoo moist. If allergic to these ointments, use a water based lotion such as Curel.

Tattoo will flake. DO NOT pick at the flakes or you may pull the color out. Try not to let clothing rub on your tattoo while it is healing.

NO swimming or suntanning until healed. Apply a high SPF sunblock to tattoo after healed to prevent fading.

6.) BE PROUD OF YOUR NEW TATTOO AND ENJOY IT! :)

Tattoos have served as rites of passage, marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of fertility, pledges of love, punishment, amulets and talismans, protection, and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. The symbolism and impact of tattoos varies in different places and cultures, sometimes with unintended consequences. Also, tattoos may show how a person feels about a relative (commonly mother/father or daughter/son) or about an unrelated person.

on Wikipedia...

The profession of a tattoo artist is a bit of a contemporary one. There are many tattoo parlors and artists out there, a lot of them very sleazy and bad, some good and very few very good ones.

It may not be the most glorious job, but there is a huge prestige that comes with it.

If you are good, and I mean really good, people will come from far and beyond to get their tattoo done by you. Think about it, a tattoo is super permanent, and you can only get it done once...no mistakes allowed. If the artist messes up, the person has to carry the ugly tattoo for life!!!

Imagine people sporting tattoos and telling them it was designed and inked by YOU!

Of course it's not so easy to learn, and you will need a lot of practice, but I came across an awesome training course for aspiring tattoo artists. It gives you over 5 hours of video footage of how to tattoo people! It also shows and teaches you about body piercings and healing times.

(and earn money doing it?)
