Here at this page youīll find information on tattoos in general, how to take care of your tattoo and FAQs. Letīs begin with the FAQs.
Does it hurt?
Yes, it hurts, but it depends on where on your body you do it and of course how sensitive you are. The pain is very hard to describe and it was nothing what I expected. I suppose that it canīt be described, cause pain is different from one person to another.
What does it cost?
Well, thatīs very different from one tattoo artist to another. I sugest that if you have an idea or a picture of your tattoo, go to the studio and ask them for a price.
Is it dangerous to get a tattoo?
If you donīt take care of the tattoo afterwards it could get infected and that could ruin your tattoo and make you sick.
If you got to a studio, make sure that theyīre members of a tattoorganisation like APTA (Association of Professional Tattoo Artists). Theyīre guaranteed to keep their tools and instruments steril and theyīll take good care of you and your health. It might not sound important to you but keep in mind that AIDS and other venereal diseases spread via blood! Several persons have been infected with AIDS when they got their tattoo... Do you want to be next?!
What should I think of before getting a tattoo?
Itīs permanent so make sure that youīre absolutely satisfied with your motive. You canīt wash it off after a few days! Remember that itīs up to you and only you what and where it shall be. Listen to your heart and not to your friends! Do I really want to do this?
When the answer is yes - make an appointment!
This is my hero, Paddy (left) and his assistent. Iīm so sorry, but I canīt remember his name. So embarrasing!
After youīve gotten your tattoo itīs VERY important to follow the following advise precisely. (From Ommadawn Tattoo)
