Tattoos are a great way of expressing your thoughts, your love for someone, or your beliefs. Thus, people who decide to get a tattoo put in great effort to find a design that has some meaning and perfectly fits their personality.

Apart from the design, there are several other things that need your consideration. This article will help you in getting the best experience while getting your first tattoo inked.

Pick an artist

This is the first step toward your journey of getting a tattoo. When looking for an artist, it is better to shortlist the top picks and follow their work on their social media pages. You can check out the intricate details and look for images of fresh as well as healed tattoos.

This will help you to understand whether the tattoo looks the same after healing or not. There are times when the ink fades away or the lines become less distinct. 

Also, check out the style and see if it matches your requirements. Other things to look for include license and hygiene habits. The workstation should be spotless; the needles should be used only once including the gloves, razors, and swabs.

When you are happy that you have picked the right tattoo artist, you can then start thinking about the actual style and design that you would like. In addition, when it comes to actually having the work done, you may also want to consider using a tattoo numbing cream to minimize pain and bleeding.

Design

It is essential to give thought to the design. Some pick illustrations while others go for quotes alongside the image. You can check out the best designs online as well or consult with the tattoo artist as they will help to come up with a unique design.

Style 

After finalizing the design, you need to decide the style. There are different styles in which you can get the design inked like:

  • Traditional Japanese – In this style, the artist will create the tattoo with clean lines to define the outlines. Minimal shading is also involved to give the design an aesthetic look.
  • Geometric – precision is what you get if you opt for this style option. The design will be made using sharp black lines. The final design is symbolic and simple.

There are several other styles like illustrative, American traditional, realism, etc.

Color 

The colors are mostly picked based on the design and style but the artist can discuss with you and give it a personalized touch. The selection of colors also very much depends on your skin tone. There are certain colors like purple, white, black, and red that hold good and look vibrant on fair skin tone. For dark skin tones, dark colors like royal blue and crimson red hold good.

Location and size

All tattoos tend to fade over time. However, how long they remain is dependent on the location and size of the tattoo. If you want a small tattoo and wish to highlight it, you can get it on your neck. For big designs, arms and thighs are the best. Ankle tattoos are also very much in trend and girls can get them. If you are not able to decide the area, you can ask the artist and they will give you the best suggestion.
