It was not that long ago that tattoos were the art of the rebel. Well, it is pretty amazing how quickly things have changed. If you are jumping on the ink bandwagon, make sure you take the following into account.

If this is your first tattoo, a word of caution is called for. Getting ink is pretty trendy these days, but that does not change the fact you are getting something that is permanent. Make sure you are not bummed you did it.

Another thing to consider is the location of the tat. You might be tempted to get one on your neck, head, lower arms or wherever. While this is cool today, will it be in 10 years? Again, think through what you are doing.

Okay, on to the fun stuff. Once you make the decision to get a tattoo, you need to settle upon a particular design. Again, this is a decision to make carefully since you are going to have it with you for a long time.

The vast majority of people cruise into their local tat shop and start looking through the books of designs that are sitting in the lobbies. Picking such a tat is probably not a good long term idea. Why? It really has no personal meaning to you.

Anyone can become dissatisfied with a tattoo after a few months or years. One of the best ways to avoid this is to not rush into your design decision. Instead, come up with something unique to you. If you pick something unique, you will be happier down the line.

A second area that many people get wrong is picking a tattooist. Most people just charge in, look at pictures of the artists work and pick one. First off, the pictures only reflect the best work of the artists. Do you really expect them to put bad tats in their?

Talk with a number of artists. You want to find one that you share a good vibe with. Look at their work and see if you like it. Discuss the designs you are considering and see what input they offer. Find a match and you will have a good result.

The one area that you do not want to consider when getting a tattoo is price. You get what you pay for in life and the same goes for tattoos. Since your ink is going to be permanent, spend the extra money to get a killer design.
