You can carry out a little experiment by using the link on your index finger. Wait for a week. If it gives an itching sensation or gives a feeling of burn then avoid it. If your body does not give any strange reaction to ink then go for your first tattoo.

16. Print the Design you want

About 95% of people already choose their tattoo design online before finding a tattoo artist. The other 5% just ask their tattoo artist to ink whatever comes to his/her mind. If you belong to the other 5% then skip the decision of getting a tattoo.

If you belong to the 95% group then bring the tattoo design in printed form to your tattoo artist. You can have a high-resolution image too but it is always better to bring a paper copy. The tattoo design must be clear to understand and you should discuss it with your artist.

17. Know About Tattoo Sessions

Inking a good tattoo takes time. Many tattoos are not completed in one session. The whole process is divided into multiple sessions (especially if it is a large size tattoo). Your tattoo artist needs a lot of focus and an active mind while tattooing your body. He/She may feel tired and ask you to come back again. Don’t be rude on this decision as it is good for both of you. Come back again and get your tattoo done with a fresh mind.

18. Know and Respect the Rules of Tattoo Parlor –

A tattoo parlor is not a pub where you will bring all your friends to hang out. Nor it is a daycare school where you will bring your kids. Each tattoo parlor has its own set of rules and you must know about them before you go to the studio. You can visit them beforehand to ask about their policies. Usually most parlor allows one friend with you but still many people bring about half a dozen people so that they can witness the golden moment. Don’t do it.
