The Perfect Tattoo Designs in the Right Place

Perfect tattoo designs do not only depend on style, size and colours. It does not really matters if it is big or small, a coloured dragon or a black and white tribal tattoo design - even the most beautiful tattoo designs look bad if placed in the wrong places.

Here is a little help for you to decide where to get inked:

- First point is PAIN. Choose according to your capacity to withstand pain. Some parts of your skin are more sensitive than others. Those spots should be avoided if you are the kind of person that does not really like suffering. Your tattooist will probably inform you that neck and ankles as much as ribs are some of the most sensitive areas. aUsually the areas where it hurts more are those right over bones.

Believe me; you do not want to get your first tattoo on your ribs.

Or let's say it in another way: if you are looking for an intense experience, then those could be the right spots for you to get a big and coloured tattoo design.

Of course, the more the tattoo design is complicated and coloured, the longer will be the tattoo session, the longer and intense will be the pain.

I am not trying to scare you, it always depend on your pain threshold. There really are people able to fall asleep during the session.

- Second point: How badly do you want others to see your new wonderful tattoo design? Depending on its size and shape there are a few "secret places" where you could hide a tattoo, and let only a few know about it. Have a look at where Megan Fox' "Brian" tattoo (dedicated to her great love and partner Brian Austin green) is placed.

If you want the world to admire your piece of body art, well then probably arms, hands and neck are the most visible places for tattoos - unless you are going to get a face tattoo. But then comes point three into consideration.

- Point three: Before getting a tattoo it is very important to spend some moments considering your professional position. As a matter of facts, not everyone loves tattoos. Some people could consider them vulgar, or even get scared from them. If you have (or you wish you had) a job which foresees frequent contacts with customers, you should better avoid getting tattoo designs on your hands or face. Just get them where it is possible to hide them, like arms, legs, back or shoulder. There is plenty of space on your body for tattoo designs, which won't cost you your job.

Tattoo Care

When you get your first tattoo you may not know much about tattoo care. Peeling is a part of the healthy healing process of your tattoo. It is normal for your tattoo to peel slightly after it is first completed. A typical tattoo will start to peel around 1 week after you had the ink applied. Of course this will vary according to how your body heals, whether you heal fast or slow but it is a general guideline.

So your tattoo is peeling, now what. Well first off lets discuss why it has begun to peel. Peeling is a result of the damage you did to the skin. It is much like the peeling from a sun burn. You need to be very careful at this point during tattoo care. You need to ensure while cleaning that you don't accidentally remove areas that were not ready to be exposed or you may end up damaging your design.

Tattoo Care

Most importantly during the peeling process is not to itch or scratch it. It will become bloody itchy as you can imagine but remember the time and money you invested and resist the urge to scratch as you can damage your new ink relatively easy. If you cannot handle the itchiness apply some lotion. Or more aftercare ointment.

Once you have had your first tattoo and have learned proper tattoo care, peeling won't be as alarming during the healing process, as it will be something you are expecting to occur. If your tattoo peels after that it is a sign of action needing to be taken.

Tattoo Letter Designs

Tattoo Letter Designs

The Two Different Types - And Their Importance

When people search for tattoo letter designs, they are usually searching for one of two things:

1) English lettering that is curvy and artistic.
2) Chinese lettering that is accurate.

With regards to English lettering, finding the right tattoo letter designs can be tricky. Unlike some types of artwork, lettering is like handwriting - it is easier to do forge if it is something you are familiar with. As a result, it is a good idea to go directly to your favorite parlor and see what lettering they have available. This gives you an opportunity to see the types of letters they are familiar with, so that you can be more confident that they are able to correctly create the look you are looking for. If not, go to another parlor.

Chinese lettering can be tricky. The meaning of the tattoo letter designs changes based on the accuracy of the writing. Far too many artists unfamiliar with Chinese leave off an important line or mark, drastically changing the meaning of the word - or giving the word no meaning at all.

The best way to remedy this is to send the letters to a tattoo artist that is fluent in Chinese writing. This way they can send you back an accurate draft of the word that is designed like a beautiful tattoo but also is correct in both meaning and intention.
