Tattoos - Are You Ready For It?

By Jimmy Johnson

Tattoos as a decorative medium for the skin has become widely accepted. Needles are used to introduce ink into the skin layers that produces a permanent design. One has to bear in mind that results of tattoo designs can no longer be undone so that one has to be certain in choosing the designs that he or she will carry on their skin for the rest of their lives.

Permanent skin designs are now quite ordinary. Needles that have been filled with ink are used to stain skin designs that will leave a mark on one's skin forever. If you decide to have once done on your skin, you can no longer have the results undone. Thus, it is essential to remember this factor when

For me, seeing the same design on your skin day in day out could be quite unsettling. I would want to be able to change my accessories, such as my earrings to go with my present disposition or the circumstances. Different things that could be expected everyday are what makes us excited and hopeful. If by some quirk of fate I decide to get a tattoo, I would still end up having the salon frequently update it or add something to the design to suit my highs and lows. No, I don't think tattoos would be ideal for an individual such as me.

In contrast, my sister loves the few tattoos she has. She produced a superb design that is really awesome. She had me measure the length and width of her back, outlining the exact shape of her spine and then we drew it on a big piece of paper.

My sister drew a picture of a cat for her tattoo design. The cat's back is facing out and its head is turned so it is looking at the onlooker. The cat's spine follows my sister's spine nearly to the small of her back. There, the tail curves beautifully around the image. This magnificent tattoo design almost completely fills her entire back area. While it is quite beautiful and cleverly designed, she often laments that it is just too much for her small frame.

If you so wish to experiment with this art form on your body, you have to set certain limitations on how daring you would like to be. An exquisite design such as my sister's creation may cost much more than you bargained for. Another important factor to consider is its being kind of irreversible, and having it removed afterwards if you do not like the results pr for some other reasons could equally be expensive and troublesome. My sister is keeping her options open, she has her cat tattoo design with her, but she has not yet said yes to the tattoo master.
