Must Do Aftercare Techniques

Remember to Avoid

* Direct sunlight for the first two weeks.

* Submerging your tattoo in any type of water for the first two weeks.

* Picking or scratching at your tattoo.

* Washing the area with soaps or lotions that contain lots of ingredients, especially fragrance. Fragrance can irritate your skin or even cause you to have a more serious reaction. The least amount of chemicals you put on your tattoo, the better.

Once the tattoo has healed, however, you can pretty much put anything on it!

And Don't Forget

Another thing we would add to Kat's expert advice is to make sure that you always apply plenty of sun-block to your tattoo when you are out and about. This is a simple, yet really important step if you want to avoid needing a touch up and retaining the bold color and detail of your tattoo.

A Tattoo Artist, How Do You Choose One?

The Number Two Thing to Look For

Second most important is their portfolio.

When you are looking through their portfolio you need to be looking for both the images of the tattoo designs they have drawn and created with previous clients and you will want to see photos of the tattoo's they have applied.

If they show you a portfolio of just one of the above make sure you ask to see the other in order the gauge their skill at both drawing & creating and at real life tattoo application.

Other Important Things to Look For

When you are chatting to the artist and talking to them about their background and experience you also need to make sure the artist hasn't suffered any broken fingers, hands or wrists lately.

You need an artist who's tools, be it their tattoo gun or hands, are in good working order otherwise you tattoo is never going to be spot on.

Avoiding the Top Tattoo Mistakes

This can be heaps of fun and you can also put a few tattoos on your photographer and see if you can convince them to get a tattoo that way you can get them done together.

Once you are done taking the pictures load them onto the PC and check them out. You will be able to tell very quickly whether the tattoo gets lost or if it still stands out and is clearly visible. This will tell you if you are in any danger of getting a design that is too small.

Correct Size Tattoo First Time Round

At the end of the day if you do end up with something that is just too small you can always get it covered over with a bigger more appropriately sized tattoo so there is a solution to the problem if it happens to you. But, dear reader, you want to get it right the first time round, so take the time and have some fun.

Are you still looking for your dream tattoo and one that is hopefully the right size?
