What to consider when getting a tattoo? First and foremost, a permanent marking on your skin? This won’t ‘grow back over’, as a piercing location would. This will be a lifelong alteration to the look of your body. While tattoos can be surgically removed, there is a great deal of scarring and potentially, skin grafting to remove the remnants of a tattoo.
At the moment, tattoos have gained a kind of fad status. It seems as everyone wants one, or at least knows someone who has one. It is important to know as much as you can before you commit to getting one – as we said, even removal techniques can leave scars worse than the original ink. So do your research. Wait a while, … still want one, read on…
Want a tattoo? Is it to be part of a popular crowd? Think of how a dolphin on your breast today will look after you’ve had children, and body parts aren’t what they used to be.
A sprawling tribal design across your shoulders won’t look so attractive at the local high school reunions, 15 years later. Or, maybe that’s what you want. In any case, a
tattoo is not something to rush out and get just to keep up with the rest of your peers. Secondly, where is the tattoo to be located? Is it to be a location that will be visible, no matter what type of clothing you are wearing, or will it be in a location that is often concealed. Is it a private or a public thing?
Sometimes tattoos have significance to the bearer. Mothers who have lost children sometimes get a tattoo to remember them by. Lovers have their partner’s name (or names!), even children have tattoos of parents’ names. People with specific ancestries get tattoos to reflect their heritage. If you are choosing a design for its significance, make sure it moves you.
If you are getting a tattoo simply because you like a particular design, great! Just make sure you’ll be happy with it after it’s done.
Remember, trendy sayings or images go out of style as quickly as fashions or any other pop culture item. In a highly visible spot, a tattoo may go from cool to embarrassing in a very short period of time. Also, if working in a high visibility occupation, will a tattoo help or hurt the beautiful image of yours? This may determine how readily visible the body art will be.
The third consideration is how does the tattoo look on yourself. Pictures may look great on the wall, but how is something going to look on you, on your skin color, and is this artist truly capable of replicating the design choise? Ask to see some pictures of the tattoos already applied or, if possible, someone who has had a tattoo from this artist.
As for the tattoo parlor, make sure they’re safe and sterile. Above all, make sure that the artist has proper sanitation techniques; disposable needles and ink cups, proper cleaning of the tattoo area and some credentials to back it up. Needles are to be single use, anything else must be sterilized in an autoclave (uses steam to sterilize). The artist must be licensed, and they must adhere to a strict code of ethics. If you feel unsure about anything, it’s best to find somewhere you are completely comfortable.
Tattoos are basically made by a tiny needle, or several of them, inserting ink into the layer under the top layer of skin. Because this involves two factors – blood, and the breaking of skin – health is of prime importance.
Now the only thing to do is chose the tattoo or tattoos!!!
Tattoos are cool no matter where you put them but on the back you have a big advantage. Big space for a big tattoo!!! On your back tattoo ideas are unlimited, here you can make a mayan calendar, a celtic cross or a big tribal tattoo, no matter what you do the look of your back is going to be amazing. It will hurt a bit, but hey…. the final tattoo will compensate that.
And if you are undecised about what model to chose don’t be shy….take a look to our gallery of thousands and thousands tattoo designs. In conclusion….tattoos on back are COOL!!

Die, die, you non-believers! Because Khloe Kardashian won’t let you play with her emotions by keeping quiet while you are doing your best to tag her marriage to Lamar Odom as fake. The newly-wed couple just got their initials tattooed on each other to silence the wagging tongues.
Khloe posted the tattoo pics on her blog and jotted a big one to let her fans know that she and Lamar are totally into each other.
Hi dolls! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend…I definitely did! Saturday night Lamar and I were eating at Sunset Plaza and I just said, “Let’s go to Tattoo Mania! I want a tattoo!” I think the best tattoo experiences are the spontaneous ones, because that way you are not only left with the tattoo, but an amazing memory to go along with it!

“Tattoo the Cure” event raises money for cancer research
Most people who came to the “Tattoo the Cure” fund-raising event got tattoos in honor of someone they know who has or had breast cancer.
Aubri Hill, 21, of West Toledo donated a total of $120 and got two tattoos, a temporary one, and a T-shirt.
She got a ribbon with a butterfly on her ankle and a ribbon with the cherry blossom tattooed on her back to honor her cousin and neighbor, both of whom are breast cancer survivors.
“Breast cancer is such a hard thing to go through and I wanted to do this for them,” she said. “It’s a really good cause.”
Meghan Best, a local income development coordinator with the American Cancer Society, came to thank the tattoo shop workers for organizing the event. “It’s definitely one of the more unique events for us, and it’s just so creative,” she said. “I think maybe it provides some closure and some healing with that constant reminder. It’s like wearing heirloom jewelry. People like to remember their loved ones.”
For those squeamish about getting a tattoo, everyone yesterday described it like the sensation of a foot or hand falling asleep and little pulses of pressure.
If you missed it this time around, don’t worry.
Mr. Reynolds said organizers plan to make the cancer fund-raiser an annual event and are also plan an autism awareness event for the early spring.
When it comes to Pink’s relationship with Carey Hart, it’s clear who wears the pants.
The 30-year-old star has posed wearing a pair of fuchsia Y-fronts from her husband’s Hart and Huntington fashion line.
She reveals her toned body and an array of tattoos, including a pink bow on the back of each thigh in the racy shoot.
The fashion line is a spin-off from Carey’s Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company.
Motocross champion Hart opened the tattoo parlour in Las Vegas in 2004 with partner John Huntington.
He later took over the company and opened stores in Honolulu, Cabo San Lucas and Orlando.
The clothing line is based on the designs of artists that work at Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company.
Carey and Pink reconciled in March this year after splitting up in 2008.
