Don’t get a tattoo just to get a tattoo

When something really has your heart and mind then tattoo it,
Mark a place in your life, a person lost, a tattoo to tell people about you, or just an awesome piece of skin art for arts sake

Use the best artist you can get, like frank lantra

after you get a tattoo you may end up like me, you may want ALOT more, you will appreciate being selective as you begin to build your collection, collecting pieces that really mean something to you

thats how I have felt about it, friends told me to develop an idea in my head, then hold that idea for 6 months, if it was still a good idrea, ink it……………….its worked well for me………….just my 2 cents

Im confused, are you saying you have booked a tattoo appointment when you are not 100% sure what you want?

yeah, what mrchen said is good advice. think about it for a few months and if you still want it, go for it. personally, i think trendy tattoos that you see everywhere (tribal, stars, bible verses, crosses, huge verses and stupid “life” quotes, chinese letters, etc) are retarded. if you want one to have one, at least get something that looks cool as shit :p

True. Tattoo is an art, it should be something special.

These guys are giving you excellent advice. When you get an idea that sticks with you, that you love. That is when it is time to get it. NEVER get a tattoo just because you want to have one.

The upper arm is very valuable real estate when it comes to tattoo. Don’t squander it recklessly!

And NOT TRIBAL!!

Find an EXCELLENT artist. Not the dude your friend went to, someone with talent and style. Peter’s list is a great place to start looking.

C.J. hasn’t been active for almost a year. I hope tribal wasn’t picked.
It would be nice to have an update.

If you don’t want to compromise with style choose Polynesian style tattoo. They are similar to tribal tattoos. The designs of Polynesian style tattoo are very good and you have no problem in future.
