Getting your first tattoo the most important thing about getting your first tattoo is to have a look at a few web sites for tattoo pictures of the sort of tattoo you are looking for if you find something you like just don't just go for that one keep that in mind or book mark the site so you can return to it and keep looking you may find something better. In the link at the bottom of the page. They were very help full in my search but this was a long time ago but I still use it for all sorts of ideas as I have a lot of tattoos now. once you have the right pic you are looking for just think if that is what you want most people make the mistake of finding something then jump in and get it right away then after a few years regret getting if and would like it removed. Which could cost more than getting it done in the first place? Once you have had a think about it and you still like to get it the best thing is to shop around at.

Other artist shops and compares their prices. But remember the cheapest is not always the best ask if you could watch them do a tattoo or ask them about the tattoo most artists will help you with anything you ask them also see if they have an up to date certificate which means that they are insured if anything that happens to it. (All needles should be in sealed packed and the artist should only open them in front of you just before they start tattooing you). Once you have all the info you need to now and you have found your artist and the price and you have made up your mind that you would like the tattoo and were you would like it placed. The artist will talk to you just before he starts he will do a small line then stop and ask you if you fell OK don't lie to him he can tell if you're OK by looking at your face. once he has done the tattoo he will tell you how to look after it and wash it take notice because if you don't once it has settled down and it looks bad it's your problem so it's best if you take note of what he is saying to you he will also offer you a small pot of cream to put on it as it starts to heal. If you have an active life such as working out swimming etc ask him if you can still do it he will tell you that you should keep away from that for at least two to three weeks until it has fully healed. Once it's all finished you should still keep it out of direct sunlight for at least one month. I hope this has helped you when you are looking for you first tattoo good luck.
