1 Does it hurt? This is the first question in this FAQ because it is typically the first question people usually ask. The answer is yes. The needles pierce your skin causing a wound surface. But what I really want to know is, how much it hurts, and I can take me? It is a pain so strong that you could imagine. The pain comes from the cluster of needles on the machine that pierces your skin very quickly. This feeling, however, does not feel like the pain of a shot but as the constant vibration. You'll be amazed by how quickly your body releases endorphins, (pain atennuantes), which reduce pain significantly. The pain will also vary according to the body part being worked. The tattoo on the bones (collarbone, tobacco, etc.) Tends to be more painful than on other areas. In addition, certain types of needles seem to hurt more than others. The needles used to profile most notable produce pain while the needles used to fill appear to be much more like an electrical buzz (nearly painless). Remember, the amount of pain depends very much on your psychological attitude.
NOTE: Do not drink alcohol or take illegal drugs to relieve pain prior to your tattoo sessions. Aspirin and alcohol thin the blood and promote excessive bleeding. Aspirin also reduces blood clotting and reduce the speed of your healing well. In addition, artists do not appreciate dealing with drunks. 2 WHY DO want to tattoo? People get tattoos for different reasons. "Please your partner? "Belong to a group that has tattoos? "Identified with a certain subculture known for tattoos?

3 WHERE TO FIND A GOOD ARTIST, AND WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A TATTOO ARTIST? The bane of the tattoo world is dark person, improperly called the "scratcher." A scratcher is someone who:- You do not have proper training in the art of tattooing - Do not know and / or does not care to use responsible methods of sterilization; - Tattooing is offered for a fee incredibly low, free or in exchange for drugs (ack!) - Choose not be an apprentice in a tattoo shop because of a legitimate excuse or another (but lacks the conical one needs to work on one.) - I hurt because he knows what he is doing; - It will make you feel a permanent tattoo for the rest of your life; - Depart from scratcher. Never, never, never accept a job from a scratcher unless you assume all risks listed above. Search for an artist can be as easy as flipping through the Yellow Pages, or as complex as checking references, photographs of a magazine. Here we list several ways to find good artists: -Reading tattoo magazines. While not all tattoo magazines are National Geographic quality, the pictures speak for them .. Use the pictures in magazines to compare with those of the artist in you are interested. Some things to look in magazines: -Style (realistic, black & gray work, tribal, etc.). -Placement in your body -Ideas for images -Size as your body -Artists whose work you love. - "Going to a tattoo convention." -Visiting tattoo studios.
The studies listed in our Yellow Pages section have an initial vote of confidence because we only list those who are open to the public address, removing from it those tattoo artists who do not have a fixed address where they claim if necessary. The most important aspects to get a good result are: Choose an experienced tattoo artist, aware of the techniques of sterilization and prevention of infection during the healing process and to ensure that the final result will have the desired look. 4 HOW TO CAST A LOOK AROUND AT THE STORE? Do not let that intimidate you shop when you walk into the interior. To the layman, a tattoo shop rather intimidating. Strange smells, strange sounds ... Some stores try to create an intimidating appearance only because it is precisely what some customers want. Consider it a window shopping. The first thing you should do is take a minute to look around. Illustrations will surely find stapled on the walls. They probably will be supported to the traditional skull and crossbones, roses and other traditional designs. You could also see some signs ("Unaccompanied Minors", "We have tax ID," "We met the health standards" etc.).. These signs will also be indicators of the personality of the owner of the store. Some are very friendly, with plants, aquarium fish, and decorations. Note: There is no international law regarding the legal age for tattooing. Check with the store to find out what the local statute regulates. 5 ASKING WATCH YOUR WALLET
Do not be impressed by the designs of the wall. These illustrations are usually purchased from other artists and do not represent the work of the artist. Frankly, anyone with a little experience can easily trace the outlines of these illustrations and fill colors. What we really need to look is the book that contains a collection of photographs of the artist's work. Ask to see one. If they say they have not, go away. You are visiting the store you expect to place a piece of art permanently on your skin shown, that the artist will tell you that no samples in a folder is an insult. 6 WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR WALLET? When looking at your portfolio, there are some things to keep in mind. Do you see any pictures you recognize some of the designs you've been taught in the store (on the wall, or a book of designs)? if so, how is the picture of the tattoo.
First of all, check that the lines are clean. Are they well defined? Exactly where they belong?; Are not irregular or blurred? Are the lines uniform in width? Do they seem true colors? Are Umino? "Proportionately correct? Look at people in the book. This may be an indicator of customers into the store (besides watching the store environment.) Is there a proportionate mix of men and women in the book? Are they a sporty or a particular genre?. Again, remember that anyone can draw the outline of a picture on your skin. The skill and artistry are shown at dusk, using colors and other subtle things that separate an artist from a simple tattooist. If more than one artist working in the store and see some pictures that you like, make sure the artist you will be the tattoo artist who did the work they've done to make the decision. 7 WICH TYPE OF QUESTIONS DO? Whenever you ask to see your collection of photographs, the person in the store hopefully will recognize you immediately as someone who knows a little more about tattoos - at least enough to not only comply with the designs .. If the store is too busy or if the artist is not in the middle of a tattoo, could have a conversation with you. This is a wonderful opportunity to ask questions of the artist. Some reasonable questions to ask at the conversation should not take too long to the artist to answer: What is your favorite style? If you intend to make that their specialty seems you're in luck, be it tribal, wildlife or whatever. Is there a particular issue that you enjoy? An artist, without hesitation, he said his favorite was skulls. I would have jumped for joy if it was what I wanted. How long has the store here? This may be an indicator of the stability of your business. The industry itself fluctuates, but continuity implies business acumen, responsible practices and that they do not develop a functioning irresponsible. How long have they been in the shop? The store may have been there for 20 years, but the artist may have been there for a couple of months. If they have been there for what you consider a short period, ask them where they were before. How long have you been tattooing? It might not matter to both the artist only take a short while there has been tattooing for several years. Tattoo artists can come from multiple sources - from working on friends to take a degree in fine arts. This information will give you more insight into the artist's attitude and aptitude. Do you do many special works (custom)? This may depend a lot on where the store is located, but also depends on how good artists who are, and whether they have their own style that are known. Do they use apprentices at the store? It is often difficult for new artists to break into the business, and learning is often a great way to not only learn about tattooing, but also the daily operation of a small business. The artists are often caught trainees interested in expanding the art, giving an opportunity for a new person (so to speak) and feeling confident enough about their own abilities to think they can offer some insight and experience to the new person. This again goes back to the attitude of the artist and the shop. Do not let the artist looks intimidate you. Tattooists are usually many tattoos on his skin. In fact, I would be something suspicious about an artist that he had no tattoo at all. The main thing is you need to talk to them and get a sense on how they are. When you talk with the artist and you establish a relationship where you feel comfortable, can begin to address the issue you are interested. Discuss your idea with the artist and hopes to help you with it. Remember though, that the artist is working in a professional business! Be polite. do not waste your time if you plan to get a tattoo. 8 WICH KIND OF THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A SHOP
Shop Watch is so critically important as choosing your artist. Make sure the place is very clean, make sure the artist uses single-use needles, and that uses an autoclave for all other equipment. Do not be afraid to ask or to ask for it show you.A legitimate artist will be glad to show it. What does the store? What is your environment? Does it look like a barber shop, hair salon, dental office or an art gallery?. Are the private work areas? Do they use shower curtains, private boxes and dividers fourth type screen? Try to visit them and come back. Do not feel pressured into having to get a "here and now." Try and talk to some people who have had experience with the artist. You must feel comfortable with the artist and you have to like you. If you do not like, do not get the tattoo. Make sure the artist is willing to listen and to respect your interests. The artist may make suggestions, but always the final word is yours.
9 How much does it cost to get a tattoo?
This is a very old debate, that the following is only a very basic orientation. Normally you pay or work, or by the hour. Smaller tattoos in the book of the artist's designs are "standard" material that the artist usually does not take too long to do. Sometimes prices are listed to the right of the illustration. . You may have a "minimum" charge that could vary with each artist. Larger (or custom) tattoos will normally be charged by hours of work (unless you and the artist you decide in advance the full price). Given the difference between many Hispanic countries can not give a price based on that work. The price negotiation should be the front and honest, and before work begins. Some shops accept credit cards, most do not .. Be particularly wary of people who "work cheap" or "free." They are often artists who are just starting out, who is still developing their skills. Warning: Once the artist tell you one price, no haggle with him! * The best way to get the bad side of the artist is trying to argue with the price. If you think the price is too high, renegotiate the size or complexity of the work. NOT the price. If you get very satisfied with their work and service, it's appropriate to tip, even when the artist is the owner of the store. the owners do not pocket 100% of what they do (remember - it's a bargain!).
A tip of 10% to 20% of the total price paid. I recommend a tip for any job that you are happy, or any work where the artist spent time preparing your artwork (drawing time the design is usually not included in price). Many artists have told me that tip the better the sound of mouth propaganda. If you're happy with your tattoo, presumed to your friends and tell them where you've done!
10 WHAT TO DO WHEN I FEEL?
Any time you're in that chair, what will happen? Probably, the artist begins the long process of preparing their work putting the design on paper "fit", since there are very few who work to "freehand", ie to draw directly on your skin. Then you clean the skin where you will be tattooed with alcohol or antiseptic. We draw the main lines on the skin and use carbon paper to transfer the drawing on your skin. The artist you will probably look in a mirror to make sure you like the plan and placement. Once they agree on this, the artist will begin to place the instrumental front of you, putting the ink into small little boats and new needles on the machine. At this point, it is better for you to try and relax. You can ask about things like the colors of ink. Depending on the work, the artist will need to mix some colors. You'll be at the same time probably a little nervous, your body is going through a real adrenaline secretion. Try to stay calm and not too anxious. Anxiety about the pain you suffer can expect to provide a faint. Help if you're there with your stomach vacío.Es recommended to eat something sweet or drink during the session. Just relax. For women, the experience of anxiety is similar to a pelvic examination by a gynecologist, which is more nervous about it while waiting for the doctor when they stay on the table with your feet up. Just as most exams are not painful or really less than they thought, neither is tattooing. Bzzzzzttttt .. Starts machine, dips the needle into the ink and start working on your skin! Aaaaaahhhhh! Not so much as looked right? The worst thing will happen in a couple of minutes. Relax and you, handle it. Take a deep breath and enjoy the experience.
This may seem trivial, because the answer may be "anywhere" The only places where you can not do technically a permanent tattoos are your hair, teeth and nails (even the cornea tattooed years ago for medical purposes). Interestingly, women and men tend to get tattoos in different places. This, according to sociólogoClinton Sanders, is because men and women get tattoos for different reasons. Men, he says, to teach tattooing tattoos, while women make to decorate your body - and often the place where they can not normally be seen, so not likely to comment on his "reputation." However, the following is a list of areas which are usually based on a statistical tattoo by Clinton Sanders in which we studied 111 men and 52 women. Head: The "head" here refers primarily to the area where hair grows. Need to shave the area for the tattoo is visible. If you need to hide, you can let your hair grow. The areas most commonly inked are the sides of the head (above the ears), and on the nape of the neck in the back. Some people have their heads enterastatuadas. They say the process vibrate the skull!
Sides of the neck (neck).
Back of neck: I've seen some tribal pieces, and sticks made in the back of the neck. Need to wear their hair short or tie it to be visible.
Face: Various areas possible. Facial tattoos could be cosmetic, imprisonment, or normal categories. Cosmetic would include darkening of eyebrows, lips etc contour. The prison (which really are in their own category) often include a teardrop tattoo near his eye to mean time served. Getting a tattoo on his face is serious business and crosses a portal because people will never look as the same way.
Upper chest: One of the standard areas for tattoos for both men and women. Allows the realization of a fairly large piece. One of the areas where you can choose to get symmetrically inked on both sides.
Breasts (women) was trendy to get a tiny tattoo on his chest. Women (particularly larger breasted ones) need to be careful about eventual sagging of the skin at the tattoo kmismo área.El look different when the skin is stretched.
Nipples: Usually the artist leaves no tattooed nipples - the omission of ink tends not to be so remarkable. Work has been done tattooing a facsimile of a nipple on one breast that had to be surgically reconstructed for purposes of self-esteem.
Rib cage: Can be quite painful because of all the ribs on which they work. However it offers a fairly large area and can be incorporated into a larger work on the back, wrapping around toward the front.
Stomach / Abdomen: Some people choose not to work your stomach for a couple of reasons. The area is difficult to work because there is no solid backing to hold the skin. Is a sensitive area and may feel uncomfortable. Tattoos may look horrible after developing "beer drinker's belly."
Genitals. The idea may sound very painful, but no worse than any other tattoo. However, we must keep in mind if you will, in the case of the penis, the tattoo looks upright and flaccid and the difficulty of maintaining an erection during the tattoo process. Do not ask how they do it because I have no answer to that question. If anyone knows how to maintain erection for a tattuaje in the penis will be very grateful if you tell me .. . Note: Many artists refuse to do genitals.
Hips / thighs: A popular area for women where you can do big jobs (usually extending from the hip area). Look good in a bathing suit but easily concealable in modest shorts. The entire area of skin around the thighs is bigger than the back, so you can get a real piece of work done quite large. Legs: good area to get a normal size (2 "x 2"). However if you have very hairy legs, you can eat a little visibility. Ankles: Currently trendy. I think you have to have a Tatttoo in the ankle before going to a modeling agency with your "book" of photos are very popular plants or bracelets representing tribal although it is quite normal drawing inside or outside of the ankle
Feet: I've seen some amazing tattoos in some tattoo magazines. Combined with shoes. Probably not have much use as the hands so the color remains more alive. This, however, at the top of the feet. Will have trouble retaining a tattoo on the soles of the feet.
Armpits: Usually reserved for those who want to get the whole arm and chest area, and need to fill in the armpits. Probably not recommended for very ticklish.
Upper arms: One of the most common areas for men, although I have seen some good work in women too. If you decide to tattoo upper arm, consider how much sun you get. If not protected with sunscreen lose color over time and staining. If you want to hide it when you want to consider not pass the point where a short-sleeved shirt hidden.
Inner arms: A more rare than the outer upper arm area, it is not often readily visible.
Forearms: Popeye sported his anchor on his forearm. Probably not as popular as the upper arm but equally common.
Wrists: Janis Joplin had a delicate tattoo on her wrist, easily concealable with a watch.
Hands (fingers and palms): Some artists do not do hands because the ink tends to smudge or fade easily. Consider that you probably move your hands more than the rest of your entire body. In just a few years you may find that you lose clarity and definition. Some people want to replace his wedding ring tattooed ring. The palm does not retain ink well and rarely make you want a tattoo.
Shoulders: The shoulder area is another popular site for women who can boast a bathing suit or tank top. but covers regular clothes. If this is the case, particularly careful with the sun because you take it normally found in warm and sunny weather is a good place but it may bother the day you want to get a tattoo on his back more grtande Back: You can get a tattoo anywhere on your back, or save money to make uin work the top off. Expect to pay a large sum of money not to mention the number of sessions that will be needed.IN WHAT PART 11 tattooed me?
