Go big or go home:

This is true of tattoos because the bigger the piece, the better and more visible the tattoo is. It looks cheap when you try to put together so many details in one cramped piece. Over time they also start to bleed and it looks horrible.

Classic:

In choosing a piece for yourself, choose something that when you think about yourself twenty five years from now, you’ll be proud to have put it on yourself.

Job Stoppers:

There are tattoos that you have in certain places on your body and if you go to certain white collar job interviews, they could be an issue. Thus, leave the hand and neck tattoos for the rappers and artistes.

The pricier, the better:

The fact is that if the the tattoo artist is good and he quotes a high price, then he’s someone you should be talking to because if he seems to be good and he’s quoting something on the low side, he most likely is cutting some corners.
