Try to have your tattoo designed in a reputable tattoo parlor, preferably one with an established clientele. Simply ask around, as every city has a couple of reputable tattoo parlors where local celebrities have their tattoos done.
1. Make sure the parlor is clean and sanitized at all times, and don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any concerns.
2. Make sure your tattoo artist is knowledgeable. How would you feel if you asked for a ferocious tiger tattoo, but ended up with one that looked like a pussycat? Or worse — the tattoo artist misspells your lover’s name? You’d probably be furious to say the least. Oversights do happen frequently and unfortunately, there’s no way to simply erase a botched tattoo and start over.

If tattooing is done with all the precautions, it is a great fun to sport a tattoo!
