Tattoo Do's and Don't's

        This weeks blog is on what tattoos you should get and what tattoos are just a big N.O. I'm gonna start off with tattoo don't's. The biggest one out there is DO NOT get a tattoo of you boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse's name/face! Stupid teenagers who are in love think that this is the person of there dreams and that there name should be forever on there body. But then 3 weeks later they split up for good and now they're stuck with the name of the person they probably hate the most. Unfortunately this stuff even happens to happily married coupled. They are married for a few years so they think that nothing could go wrong now. Sadly, the majority of our society gets a divorce.
         Another N.O is don't get a tattoo that your gonna regret in the future. Kids who turn 18 can't wait for there first tattoo and usually end up getting something stupid like a pot leaf on there neck. Little do they know that that there grand kids are gonna see that pot leaf and wonder what kind of a grandparent you really are.
         One more N.O  is do not get a different language tattooed on your body unless you are 100% sure that you know what it says. Countless times I've seen people who come in with a Japanese sign they think says love and it really means chicken or something.

          Now time for the DO's. The best tattoo's you should get and probably the only ones you should get are tattoo's that legitimately mean something to you. Perhaps you have a grandparent that has passed on and you want something to commemorate him with. One time we had a girl come in and had us mix the ashes of her dead father into the tattoo ink and had us tattoo her. Maybe it could even be a passion you have or a day you want to remember forever. Never care about what people think about your tattoo because it means something to you.
           Another DO is if you do end up getting something stupid like a flower or something, please get it in an inconspicuous area like your back or foot. Even though they are becoming more accepted in today's society, a lot of companies still have a problem with the public display of tattoos. If you plan on having a high paying job or a job at all your going to want to hide that pot leaf so people don't get the wrong idea.

           Hopefully if you read this it will give you a better idea and hopefully change your mind on what tattoo's to get.
