Top Three Tips for Avoiding Tattoo Disasters

Custom tattoo designs are the hottest trend in the fashion world. Online tattoo design contests have hit the mainstream fashion world and show no signs of decline. These contests are an opportunity for both designers and tattoo enthusiasts to discover the creativity, talent, graphic skill as well as the ability of an artist to understand and interpret the client's tattoo ideas and preferences.

It is difficult for some people to resist the temptation of getting a particular design/ words tattooed on his or her body. Whether to commemorate a significant event or for pleasure, tattoos are considered a way of expressing one's unique personality. For those clueless about the world of body art, here's a refresher.

Tattoo is an ancient art form of sculpting the body with symbolic designs. In present time, this art form has become a regular part of fashion and lifestyle both in men and women of every age. Therefore, in fashion sense, tattoos are a way of decorating and accessorizing one's body.

However, like shoes, tattoo designs also come in different shapes, sizes and various styles because, one style/ size does not fit all. There may be certain designs that look very beautiful on some people but may not look that good on others. So, here are the top ten tips to stay away from any type of tattoo disasters and avoid the pain of tattoo removal and the additional expense it entails.

TIP# 1: Take time to think over the design you want tattooed in your body.

Getting a tattoo is a big decision and should be taken after considering all the pros and cons of having one. If you are not happy with either the tattoo design or its effect after it is inked on the skin, there is hardly anything that you can do about it. For instance; if the size is inappropriate, the colors look dull or the body part where the tattoo is located is not right, it cannot be undone. So take sufficient time to decide upon the design and its specifications before getting inked.

TIP# 2: Choose unique tattoo designs.

The generic tattoo designs are very common and have no uniqueness. Although these designs come at an affordable price, they may not match your personality or your lifestyle. Besides, the designs are not created by the artist with you in mind; the tattoo design may not have any meaning for you. When compared with these conventional designs, custom tattoo designs are more personal, have a meaning for you, are vivid in color and are best in quality. You even have the option to get your designs patented to guarantee their uniqueness.

TIP# 3: Get the best tattoo artist.

Choosing the best design is only one aspect of tattooing. The other aspect is the skill and expertise of the tattoo artist. Your tattoo artist should be experienced, skilled as well as sensitive to your feelings. He should be honest enough to let you know the various tattooing techniques, their pros and cons, the ink quality and the safety and hygiene methods practiced by him or her.
