Hi, I'm 19 years old and thinking about getting my first tattoo. My question is how do you find a perfect tattoo? Coz I'm not going to remove it later Razz

Did you guys just go to an artist and look what they had in store? or you browse online? I've been browsing thru this couple days and found seems to answer my question, I emailed the owner and he replied and answered all my question.....but still, is it worth my money for the membership?

I guess my question is, how much money did you spend when finding your tattoo? Thank you very much and have a great day.....

personally, my latest was a symbol that means something to me, i decided on the basic symbol, then went into google images and searche for the symbol and came up with loads of different designs, i narrowed it down to about 4 or 5 then decided which i liked best then just took it into the tattooist, but if you go into a good tattoo studio, they can help you with designing it without charging you extra.

yea, most of the quality studies have free consoltations. if you tell them your idea's they might be able to turn them into ink.

Poseidon what defines the dream tattoo for you ?

Once you have the basics of an image in your head then find or draw a picture that reflects the basics of the image you like, you may find the pic in a book or online it might be on the wall of the tattooist or in a magazine about ink.

Once you have the image take it to the artist of choice let them play around with it (they may make changes these will almost certainly improve the image) then if your happy get coloured in.

Take your time think things through and you will never have any regrets mate.

what sort of thing are you looking for..
google it, and ask for free tattoo's of your choice..
go into tattoo parlors.
speak to tattoo'ed people, they really are more than happy to talk about them....
and when you have found your perfect tattoo, draw it yourself, or a rough drawing will do, then take it to your tattoo artist and he will modify it to your taste...

agree with chic there i drew up my cover up and got the artist to adjust it and tidy it all up.

feels good to have my own design on my arm!
