Part of the time spent deciding on your tattoo design should also be spent on deciding the placement of your tattoo. Depending on where you place it, the very same design can hold very different meanings, some places will exhibit innocence well others portray sexuality or sensuality. Where you place it is of course, ultimately up to you.
A portion of your decision also needs to account for whether or not you can conceal the tattoo. Some professions do not require the look of professionalism while others do. A lawyer with letters across his knuckle will not come across as well as the lawyer whose tattoo is easily covered by his suit. There are places where tattoos are appropriate and where they are not. Remember though, it is there for life, you may not always be in a profession that finds exhibiting them acceptable. If you are young, your best choice is one you can conceal, so that down the road you don’t lose that dream career because of a choice you may in your teenage years.
Placement is often easier for men then women, as more of a male body is commonly covered. Female wear dresses and skirts and spaghetti strap tops. Some of the places a male could commonly hide and conceal his tattoo aren’t so much of an option for a female. Men can get a tattoo on their leg that won’t be seen in a business setting but for the same placement on the female body it may be quite visitable in her suit skirts.
You need to also take into account how your body will age and grow. For males again, it isn’t as much an issue but for the female, child birthing and aging can have quite the dramatic effects on your skin and your tattoo as a result. Sure the tattoo looks great across your breast now, but after a child and the stretching it may end up deformed and no longer something you want adorning your body.
Placement is key in deciding on your tattoo. Sure you need to keep in mind the way the design works with your body, the significance and the colouring but you also need to remember that this tattoo is there for life and your body changes over your lifetime, as does your personality and personal sense of style. Don’t pick the in thing, because 5 years down the road you may regret it. Careful consideration and deliberation will leave you with a tattoo that you are happy with for life.
The tattoo lettering that adorns your ink can very well make or break it. There are some general guidelines when it comes to any sort of lettering in your tattoo design. Some are just a bit of information to ensure your tattoo remains legible in the future, others can keep you from making a fool of yourself without even knowing it.
Too many people walk into a shop completely unprepared ask for something in some foreign language and walk out with who knows what, for the rest of your life. There have been too many stories of people getting something to find out later that the word they thought was upon their bodies is very different. Do not get something in a foreign language unless you are 150% sure it says what you are wanting it to say.
Forget names unless it really is something eternal, like remembering a child or parent. If it is something to symbolize your partner in life, remember they may not always be your life partner, no matter what you think. Imagine starting over after your relationship but every person you meet wants to know who Kimberly is, now unless you want to limit your future partners to having that name forget the name on the tattoo. Get a picture to symbolize them instead.
Another thing to keep in mind is the font size. If it is too small, as it ages and your body absorbs the ink and fades the tattoo the letters will shrink. If you chose too small a font in the beginning you will no longer be able to read the tattoos message. A good artist will inform you when looking at the initial design that the font is too small. If they don’t and you are unsure, make sure to ask. Also keep in mind where you place it will determine how badly it ages. If it is on a body part that grows or gains and loses weight through the normal course of life, your tattoo is more likely to reflect its age, and perhaps destroy the readability of your lettering all together.
No matter the tattoo lettering you decide upon, research is an important factor. Your ink is with you for life and you have to think ahead to what life may hold and possibly do to your body. Ensure you truly know your design and lettering beforehand and be much happier with it in the end.
