It feels good to get out of
the chair or off the massage table after the tattooist says that you are
finished. There is nothing like the feeling of being done with getting a
tattoo. Now you can show all your friends and maybe your parents. You are now
“one of those people” who has a tattoo and there is no going back.
The process isn’t over yet, though. Now you need to
care for the tattoo. As you will see, there are a few steps to the
aftercare that you will need to follow.
There are also a few
steps to
ensure that your tattoo will look good for years to come.
Usually after the first
tattoo, the next idea will start floating around in your thoughts ... so you
may need to make another trip to the tattoo shop. Tattoos are addictive. In
this chapter we will go over what you need to do to take care of your tattoo
and the different methods of changing your tattoo or having it removed.
