Nowadays, tattoos are trending. Various movie stars, international sportspeople, and other celebrities are getting inked to define their thoughts in an intellectual expression. Not just the celebs, but also regular people get inked, and they also spend a considerable amount of money. Tattoos are trending not just amongst the youth, but also senior people are fascinated by them.
So whether you are in your teens, planning a family, or your relaxation retirement life, getting a tattoo (or more than one) is a good idea. If you are getting inked for the first time, it is the right post for you. We are going to guide you with everything that you should know before your first tattoo.
Pain Of Getting Inked
People are fond of tattoos, but the fear of pain prevents them from getting inked. If you have never got a tattoo, it is obvious to have that fear. After all, it is a sharp needle that will be piercing your skin more than one time. However, if you ask the same question from a person with a tattoo, they will tell you that the pain is bearable. We also say the same; the pain is not as extreme as people think.
The pain will also depend on the amount of experience your artist holds. If the artist is professional and has the experience, it is possible that you may not feel the pain at all. You should also know that the bigger the tattoo, the more will be the pain. With that said, we shall now discuss with you other things to consider for your first tattoo.
Choosing The Right Tattoo
1. It should be more than a design
Your first tattoo (or even your last) should not be just a beautiful drawing by the tattoo artist. If that is the matter, you will not be able to cherish your tattoo for your entire life. Your tattoos should have a meaning for you. If the tattoo has a meaning, you will always love it for what it describes you. So, before you choose your tattoo, make sure that you gave a good thought behind the meaning.
2. Pick the right size
When you get your first tattoo, there is no hard and fast rule that it should not be big. However, the first experience of getting inked lets you understand the pain, and thus, we suggest starting with a small tattoo. A small tattoo will not be painful, and also the post-tattoo care will be easy.
3. Choosing The Spot On Your Body
When you are getting your first tattoo, we suggest getting it on a body area where there is more muscle and less bone. The pain on the muscles is less as compared to the bone. You can choose your wrist, forearm, or calf muscles. We advise not to get your first tattoo on the ribs, elbow, knee caps, shins, or any area of the body where the bone can be felt with a bare hand. If you are working in a professional organization, make sure your tattoos are not on visible parts like face, neck, fingers, etc.
How To Come Up With An Original Design?
If your favorite movie star, singer, etc. is wearing a jacket, it is possible that you too buy the same and feel good about it. However, copying a tattoo from your favorite celebrity will not be a good idea. Whether it is your first tattoo or last, you want it to be original. To make your tattoo design unique, talk to your artist about your ideas. This conversation will help your artist to bring your ideas on the canvas and later to your skin.
When you have thought about an idea, think about it for a week and see if you will be able to represent the expression behind it.
