Tips and Tricks for Choosing the Right Tattoo
If you’re considering getting a new tattoo—whether it’s your first tattoo or your twentieth tattoo—you might feel a little uncertain about the process. It’s fairly normal to feel this way—especially if it’s your first tattoo. You are, after all, getting something permanently affixed to your skin! Don’t let that stop you from getting the tattoo of your dreams. If you’re feeling unsure about your next tattoo, check out these tips and tricks for making sure you’re choosing the right tattoo for you.
Consult Your Tattoo Artist
We know getting a tattoo can be intimidating, especially if you can’t decide on the perfect design or are unfamiliar with the process. At Certified Tattoo Studios, we are here to help! Don’t question your tattoo design, reasoning, or the tattoo process, in general, any longer—schedule a free consultation with us today to talk about all your concerns. Both our studio staff and our tattoo artists live and breathe tattoos—it’s what we do! We want to help you feel confident in your decision to get a tattoo.
Check Out Different Tattoo Styles
If you’re feeling unsure about your tattoo, we might be able to change that by simply changing the style! There are so many varied tattoo styles out there, and at Certified Tattoo Studios, we specialize in everything. We can help you find the perfect style for your tattoo, from realism to traditional, to blackwork, to script, to full-color, to abstract, to watercolor, and many more. We’ll help you decide what works best for the type of piece you’re looking to get tattooed, and go over all the details to make sure you’re one hundred percent happy with your art!
Think About Placement
Just like the style and content of your tattoo is important, so is the placement! There are many things to consider when deciding where you want your tattoo on your body, and if you’re uncertain about the placement you’ve chosen, we can help. Sometimes particular artwork or lettering works better in one spot than another. Similarly, some areas of the body are easier to tattoo, both due to pain level and due to the varying skin make-up on different parts of your body.
Make Sure Your Tattoo Makes You Happy
This one sums up just about every point, but it’s crucial to make sure that your tattoo makes you happy. Not every tattoo is coming from a place of happiness, and we get that. You may not always feel happy when getting a commemorative tattoo for someone you love who passed away, for example. But your tattoo should still make you proud to show it off! Make sure your tattoo is something you love and that you will be happy with for years to come—that’s the most important thing to keep in mind as you start the process of getting your tattoo.
Choosing what art you want to get tattooed permanently on your skin can be daunting! There are many things that can inspire you to get a tattoo in the first place, and an equal number of things to consider before finally getting that new tattoo inked into your skin. Narrowing down the why behind your tattoo, and why you ultimately decided to get the tattoo, is a crucial step in the process. At Certified Tattoo Studios, we’re here to help you through each step of the tattoo process, including helping you feel confident in your decision to get a tattoo and in your final tattoo art choice!
