First Timerzzz
There are a few tips that Tattoobuzzz would like to offer to first timers:
The most important suggestion we can offer you, is
HAVE IT DONE PROFEZZIONALLY!!!
Location...Where to put it???
Choose the location of the tattoo on your body very carefully. It is going to be there for a lifetime and is VERY expensive and painful to remove. It is a very good idea to wear a non-permanent tattoo for a while to make sure that the tattoo your'e getting is exactly the right size and

The Pain...Oh..!
Tattoos are reasonally painful to get, but you may stop the tattooist at any time during the procedure, until you feel ready to go on again. Some people feel pain more acutely than others. Most people feel inclined to get another tattoo soon - which is an indication of the bearability of the pain. Large tattoos are done over a period of time, to give the wearer time to rest after each session. And yes, when the tattooist perforates the skin, there will be moderate bleeding. It is a good idea to be well rested before your first tattoo!
Expensive or Cheap?
Good tattoos are expensive BUT nothing looks worse that a botched tattoo. Our advice is to choose a professional artist at a tattoo parlour, pay the extra amount and make sure that you get quality that will last a lifetime. Your tattoo artist should use a transfer sheet to transfer the image onto your body before starting to add on the colours...
Hygiene?
Going hand in hand with choosing a professional tattooist, is making sure that your tattoo is done with all the hygienic safety precautions in place. A professional tattooist will show and explain to you all the safety precautions that are taken. It is a good idea to shop around beforehand to be able to cut out dodgy tattooists. See our article about safety precautions.
Aftercare
A tattoo needs proper aftercare to make sure it lasts a lifetime. The biggest no-no is exposure to the sun. Make sure that you follow the aftercare suggestions carefully and meticulously and soon you'll be back for the next round....

Tattoos are hot, modern day body art and fashion accessories. Tattoos have been around for ages and still are a cultural icon
.
Everyone wears them, from the celebs to the everyday moms and dads. Ladies, especially, have become very aware of the appeal that a well placed tattoo can have
Lower back tattoos, small and secret little tattoos, flower tattoos and many more, are meant to surprise and please and decorate and so it does too, otherwise it wouldn't have been that popular!
Tattoos dating back to the second millennium before Christ have been noted on mummies as body decoration. Tattooing has been an ongoing practice since about ten thousand years ago in Japan as evidence shows. Different ancient traditions and cultures have been identified by the types of tattoos that they made use of.
Tattoos are made by perforating the skin, or even allowing for a small cut to be made into the epidermis of the skin and then inserting pigments into the perforation or cut.
Enhancing the body with tattoos is a fine and difficult art and in modern times the professional tattooist will advise and make sure that the tattoo you get is an accessory that you will be happy with for the rest of your life.
It is a bad idea to have a tattoo done under pressure. Make sure that you know exactly what you want to have done, beforehand!
Tattoos might become an embarrassment if not done properly or professionally, therefore make sure that you know exactly how it should be done, where to put the tattoo, what size you want and if your homework is done properly you will have the perfect tattoo!
The pain factor is something that first timers are wary of, but although everybody has a different pain tolerance, it is not unbearable and most people come back for a second tattoo - in fact, it is said that tattooing is addictive!
Professional aftercare is very important to make sure a tattoo is safe, heals properly and stays as beautiful as it was from the start.
Make sure that you have your tattoo done by a professional! Removing tattoos surgically is VERY painful and VERY expensive!
