This is very important. Make sure that the tattoo artist takes care of hygiene and opens the needle package in front of you. The needles should be single-use only. Also, any reusable tools should be properly cleaned before they are used on any other client. The artist should also be wearing protective gloves while he is giving you the tattoo. - Start Small

If you are having even the smallest doubt about having a tattoo, start small. Do not go for such a design that might take 4-5 sessions. That way you would get an actual idea about how everything works and what would the experience really be like. Go through it before you make a commitment about it. After all it would remain with you for the rest of your life. - Choose the Design very wisely

Choose where you want to get the tattoo and what you want to get very wisely. Do not make any choice hastily. Removing or covering it up if you don’t like it won’t be an easy option. It can surely be done but it is a difficult choice. Hence, think more than twice before you take any decision. - You Might Have to go for a Touch-Up

There are full chances that some fine lines in your tattoo may fade. If that happens contact your tattoo artist and get it done. A quick touch-up might be all that is needed. This does happen with most of the people soon after the tattoo is done. - Take Someone Along with You

People tend to get nervous before getting the tattoo. Some people hyperventilate even before the needle has been used. It is only natural to feel nervous or tensed about it. So just to make sure you don’t feel any of this, take a friend along with you. Having someone by your side while you go through the process would really make it comparatively easy. - Don’t be afraid to ask a question
