Not sure what to do with your Christmas money? Get a new tattoo!!!
Of course here is the usual list of things to consider before you get inked.

1. Tattoos are permanent so make sure this is something you won’t regret and something you’ll be happy to age with. I always say pick something timeless and meaningful.

2. Make sure the studio is clean!!! Look for the licensing make sure they use clean needles. It’s not fun being sick for the rest of your life.

3. Placement is key. Will it affect your career, family or friends? Can you hide it if you need to? It’s great if you’re sporting something to be shown to the world, but remember its forever. I personally hate when people say it’ll get all saggy later, I mean all my skin will be saggy later and I don’t even want to look at normal skin like that so I highly doubt it matters if its colored or not. I do think having vulgarties on my arms or chest can disqualify from getting a great paying job so Keep it classy. bottomline- “fuck me” across my chest is not a good idea.

4. Names. You’re name or a family name fine. Lovers name…not a good idea. for obvious reasons.

5. healing time. Avoid sunlight and don’t scratch or pick!!!

6. don’t forget to tip your artist!
