    Follow Bodice's five point plan for a guaranteed better tattoo!


    1. Don't expect to get it any time soon. There are many obstacles in your path, money, legwork, waiting lists, and distance. Suck it up.

    2. Accept that you are more responsible for the tattoo you end up with than the artist who does it. The portfolio will easily tell you what level the work you will receive will be. Even if you know nothing about tattoos, the more portfolios you see - the more you will be able to discern quality.

    3. T'is better to find an artist whose work appeals to you already, than to give lots of creative input. These people do this for a living, if you don't think they know better than you, keep looking til you do.

    4. Small tattoos age badly, small tattoos are no less permanent a decision than large ones, small does not equal "feminine", small does not necessarily mean discrete, small should always be simple, don't argue when the artist says "too small".

    5. Every tattoo you see on Pintrest has been done thousands and thousands of times. Which is fine, if you are sure it won't bother you when it becomes apparent that your tattoo is very common. Some tattoos are essentially memes, and these are the ones that people get covered or spend a fortune removing.



    Start now, and you'll be rockin sick tattz in no time, yo.
