Terrific Tattoos

The history of tattoos goes way back thousands of years. And there was a time when tattoos were associated with criminals and people on the dark side of society. Not any more. Since the 1990s tattoos have become cool. Tattoos today are mainstream. They have become a fashion statement with girls being tattooed as much as guys.

You can wear your tattoo in easy to see parts of your body or in those more private places as well. You can have one small tattoo or many. You can have whole areas of your body tattooed or just a tiny spot like your ankle. Tattoos are in.

But unlike clothes or hairstyles or jewels, tattoos are permanent so when choosing your design, it's important you take your time and select exactly what you want.

Here's a good tip when you decide to get a tattoo. Be sober. That may sound a little crazy but plenty of people have had a tattoo when they were a little worse for wear. When they sobered up they may have said, "Why on earth did I do that?"

You need to be really sure and confident that your tattoo is something you really want, that the design is perfect and the position is just right. Of course choosing the best artist is also important. So get all these things right and your tattoo can be something you'll reckon is awesome and super cool.
