Tattoos are for life.

If you don't make an educated decision there may come a time
when you regret what you did.

If you already have one or several tattoos I hope you're
proud of them, but most importantly comfortable in your own
skin.

Think about not just the short-term gratification but also the
long term weight attached.

Will you still be ok with them no matter what direction you may
take in life?

Do you want to still have it when you have kids in the future
and be a father?

Will it still be ok with you then?

I remember a guy who got a huge devil tattoo on his back 10
years ago when he was in his early twenties. I wonder how he
feels about it now...

If you're thinking about going for ink...I recommend you think
about it for a few weeks just to make sure that you're totally
ok with it.

Either be 140% convinced about the decision or don't do it at
all.

If you want to get a tattoo it IS a decision that is not to be
taken lightly although now they do have laser removal. You
should never see that as an option.

However strange it may sound, I would personally never recommend
anyone to get a tattoo, despite my own love of tattoos.

You are an adult and you can make your own decisions.

When making the decision to get a tattoo, always ask yourself
for what reason you're doing it. Don't do it from social
pressure or for anyone else...do it for yourself!

If you after having asked yourself the questions above are fully
sure that you want a tattoo, and know what you want, then GO FOR
IT!

The right tattoo, one that looks good and means something to you,
is an extension of your character and something to be proud of.

To conclude this first day of the email course: If you KNOW you
want it, and know WHAT you want, then get that tattoo! It's a
beautiful thing!

Deciding on what type of tattoo to get is obviously a very
important decision right?

There are so many options to choose from but the bottom line
is that you should choose something that has significance to
you. This may require a lot of thought but it is best to
really think about what you want before you have a tattoo
done to make sure that you will not regret the tattoo later
on.

There are too many options to mention but just a few include
religious, tribal, words, cartoons, and just about anything
you can think of. You can even get a tattoo that bears a
likeness to a loved one. The other options to consider are
black and white tattoos or color tattoos. These choices are a
matter of personal preference and there are no right or
wrong answers.

The most important thing about choosing a tattoo is to choose
something that is special to you. That is all that really
matters. As long as you like your tattoo, it doesn't matter
what anyone else thinks about it.

Those who are happy with their tattoos and those who feel as
though their tattoo has special meaning are much less likely
to regret their tattoo.

Choosing black and white or color for your tattoo is another
decision you will have to make. Again personal preference is
the most important factor.

Your tattoo is a lifelong investment so don't let the price
persuade you to pick one over the other. Some tattoos may
look better in black and white such as pictures while
cartoons may look better in color. Choose what you like best
and you are sure to be happy with your decision.

There are so many options to choose from that it may seem
overwhelming. TattooMeNow.com is the best place to start
your tattoo design search because we are offering thousands
of different tattoos divided into categories that make
searching for a design really easy.

We offer a LIFETIME membership so whether you are looking
for your first and only tattoo or whether you are always

browsing our gallery for the tattoos of your dreams.

Deciding on a location for your tattoo can be as difficult
as choosing a design for your tattoo...


One important decision to make is whether you want your
tattoo to be visible to the world or in a more intimate
location where only you and your beloved will see the
tattoo?


The largest organ of the body is the skin so there are
certainly a lot of options when deciding where to place your
tattoo.


Although tattoos can go just about anywhere, some popular
tattoo locations include the bicep, the calf, the ankle, the
back, the hip and even the neck and the chest.


For girls some of the most popular tattoo locations include
the calf, the hip and the lower back. Most girls opt for
smaller tattoos in these locations and in the case of the
lower back and the hip the tattoo is not always fully visible.


Guys are more visible by nature so it comes as no surprise
that they typically have tattoos in locations that are more
visible to other people, like the bicep, shoulder or neck.


Does size really matter? We'll discuss that in my next email
for you. Check your inbox in a couple of days!

Does size really matter?

Well, I don't feel like the right person to answer that
question :)

But when it comes to tattoos the answer is no.

Well sort of..

It all depends on why you are thinking of getting a small
tattoo.

If you are thinking of getting a small tattoo because you
aren't positive that you really want a tattoo and think that
getting a smaller one will be like testing the waters to see
if tattoos are really for you then you should take some more
time to think about whether or not to commit to getting a
tattoo.

The fact of the matter is that a tattoo of any size
is still a lifelong commitment.

A small tattoo may be less noticeable (or not noticeable at
all, depending on location) than a larger one but it is
still always going to be there no matter how big or small it
is.

Large tattoos can be a great idea for a number of reasons.
Larger tattoos allow for more detail in the artwork. There
is also more opportunity to include color that will really
enhance the tattoo.

How large you decide to go is up to you. A larger tattoo doesn't
have to take up a great deal of surface area but it should be a
size that you are happy with.

The back is one area where larger tattoos tend to
look better than smaller ones because there is so much
area to work with on the back.

Small tattoos can also be very beautiful. Depending on the
design and the location you might decide to have your
tattoo very small.

For example a small flower on you ankle or hip might look really
good but going with a larger tattoo in those locations might look
awkward and out of place.

If you are looking into getting your very first tattoo, you
probably have a number of questions running through your
head.

For most people the first question they have is, "How painful
is it going to be?" but right behind that for many is, "How
much will my tattoo cost?"

You may be on a budget and living off of store brands of
macaroni and cheese but when it comes to your tattoo, cost
shouldn't be a consideration. Tattoos last a lifetime and
should not be purchased based on their price tag. It is
important to remember that your tattoo is an investment.

Like anything else in life, you have to pay for quality.
There may be many second rate tattoo artists out there
offering tattoos at low prices but most likely the quality of
their work will be reflected in the price tag.

If you were having plastic surgery done, you would look for
the most qualified surgeon instead of the cheapest one, right?
So, why look for the cheapest tattoo artist instead of the most
qualified one? A poor quality tattoo will likely wind up
looking awful and the cost of removing it will far exceed the
cost of getting a quality tattoo in the first place.

Your tattoo is an investment and you want to make sure that you
make the right decisions when it comes to your tattoo. There
is no doubt that one of the best investments that you can make
is to join TattooMeNow.com. We give you access to thousands of
beautiful tattoos categorized for your convenience.

Oouuch! Tattoo removal is certainly possible but not without
extensive treatments that are painful to both your body and
your checkbook.

Not only is tattoo removal painful and expensive but it is
also not always 100% effective. In most cases it does work
very well but there are some people who may not be satisfied
with their results.

Tattoo removal is a physically painful process...

Some people who have undergone the procedure describe it as
feeling like rubber bands snapping against your skin during
the procedure and feeling raw afterwards as if they have
sunburn.

In other words, not a great deal of fun!

So if possible, try to avoid getting a tattoo that you will
regret and want to have removed.

Another reason to not get a tattoo that you could wind up
regretting later on is the cost of tattoo removal.

The cost of tattoo removal varies depending on the size of
the tattoo, the colors used in the tattoo, the age of the
tattoo as well as the skin type of the person having the
tattoo removed. Basically, the harder the tattoo is to
remove, the more it is going to cost you.

Generally speaking though, tattoo removal can wind up costing
you $100-$150 per square inch of the tattoo per treatment.
Most tattoos require somewhere between three and eight
treatments so as you can see the price can add up pretty
quickly, even for a small tattoo.

Just another reason to really be sure that you won't regret
your tattoo before you make a commitment!

The best way to avoid getting a tattoo that you are going to
wind up regretting later is to carefully consider what tattoo
design you choose before making your decision.

Tattoo removal procedures are too painful and expensive to
take a chance on not choosing the tattoo design of your
dreams.

Investing in our lifetime membership is the bestway to
ensure that you find your dream tattoo that you will never
regret because they have thousands of designs for you to
choose from.

If you have made the decision to get a tattoo then you
should also be committed to taking care of your tattoo.

The fact is that taking care of your tattoo until it heals
and beyond will help to preserve your tattoo. You will want
the tattoo of your dreams to last so following the tips
below will help to make sure that your tattoo doesn't begin
to fade prematurely.

Your tattoo will typically take approximately a month to
fully heal. The tips below will help to make sure that the
tattooed area heals properly without damaging the tattoo.


- For the first 24 hours keep your tattoo covered with
a bandage.

- Do not touch the tattoo during the healing process
and if any scabs form, do not pick at them.

- Wash the tattoo 4-5 times daily with an antibacterial
soap and dry it by patting it with a soft towel
rather than rubbing the area.

- Use antibiotic ointment after washing to keep the area
free of infection and moist.

- Use an ice pack if there is any redness or swelling.

- Avoid soaking the tattooed area in water until it has
healed.

- Keep the tattoo out of the direct sunlight until it
has healed.

Long term maintenance is also important to making sure your
tattoo lasts. It's okay to expose your tattoo to direct
sunlight after it has fully healed but you should always use a
sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 on your tattooed skin.

The sunscreen will not only protect your skin from the damaging
rays of the sun but will also help to keep your tattoo from
fading.

Your tattoo is a lifetime investment and proper care while it is
healing and in the long run will help you to enjoy your tattoo for
many many years!
Today we're going to talk about my favourite subject
(NOT! :-) ) - history!

Normally I'm not very interested in it, but I find the
history of tattoos pretty damn interesting!

Believe it or not, tattoos are nothing new. Although, they
may have become more commonplace in recent years our
generation is definitely not the first to bare tattoos.

In fact mummified bodies that date back to around 3000 B.C.
have been found with marks on their bones that indicate that
they had tattoos.

The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word "tattau". This
word literally means "To mark" which makes sense considering
that a tattoo involves marks on the skin.

In the 18th and 19th century Tattoos were rediscovered by
Europeans when during their explorations they came across
the Polynesians and American Indians who bore tattoos.

At this time tattoos were very uncommon in Europe and the
United States where they were amazed by the Polynesians and
Indians who were covered in tattoos.

If you are considering getting a tattoo, you probably have
your own reasons for wanting one. You might think of it as
a sign of independence or a work of art. Whatever your
reason, it is your personal choice but that wasn't always
the case...

While the first tattoos may have been purely decorative in
nature this wasn't always the case. Early Romans practiced
tattooing as a type of classification system. Slaves and
criminals in particular were tattooed with a symbol to make
others aware of their status.

In Tahiti, tattoos were considered a tribal rite symbolizing
the journey of your life. Today tattoos have somewhat
returned to their earliest uses. Most people who get a
tattoo today do so purely for decorative reasons.

Not only have the reasons for tattoos changed through the
ages but the methods have changed as well...

Pricking was one of the first methods used by Native
Americans. Later on a few tribes in California modified the
process by using scratches to add color.

Polynesians used a small rake like tool to inject pigment
into the skin to create their tattoos.

The Maoris actually carved into the skin to create colored
grooves. Today tattoos are created by puncturing the skin
and injecting pigment with a needle. This style of
tattooing is similar to the process used by the Europeans.

Amazing story huh?

The scary truth about tattoos


Let's face it d, the tattoo you loved as a teenager may not
look so great now that you are entering middle age.

You are not alone though...

We live in an impetuous society where rash decisions are
commonplace and those in the tattoo removal industry are
taking advantage of our society's impulsiveness.

Although it is hard to pinpoint exact numbers of how many
people are deciding to have their tattoos removed, there is
no doubt that tattoo removal is on the rise.

One dermatologist who is cleaning up (literally and
figuratively) with laser tattoo removal treatments estimates
that she used to perform about five treatments a month in
the 1980s and now does about ten per day.

More and more people are realizing that they regret their
tattoos and are seeking to have them removed.

Impulsiveness is one reason that so many people regret their
tattoos but another major reason is that they just didn't
choose the right design to begin with.

Before now, finding the perfect tattoo was pretty hard.
Most people didn't know where to look to find really great
tattoo designs so they just picked a design quickly rather
than searching for the perfect tattoo.

Now they are paying the price. Tattoo removal usually
involves three to eight procedures and these procedures each
cost around $100-$150 per square inch.

As I'm saying on our website, before you settle on a tattoo,
the secret to finding a one you'll be satisfied with forever
is to browse through a lot of tattoo ideas and when you find
one ask yourself "Will I still love this tattoo 10 years from
now?".

If everybody did that instead of just settling for one they
just found by accident that "looks nice" I'm sure the number
of people having their tattoos would be greatly reduced.

5 Steps to Your Dream Tattoo...


Hi again d,

The following 5 simple steps help you to choose and maintain
the tattoo of your dreams.


1. Don't be impulsive. Sure spontaneity may be great
when it comes to keeping a relationship alive but when it
comes to tattoos it is better to only get a tattoo after you
have thought about it quite a bit. This will help to keep
you from regretting your tattoo after it is done


2. Chose your design. Once you are sure you want a
tattoo it's time to start thinking about what type of design
you would like. This is a very personal choice. You may opt
for something meaningful, fun or simply pretty. Whatever you
decide remember that it's your decision and you will be
happiest with a design you choose yourself


3. Test out your design. After choosing a design, you
might want to try having some temporary tattoos made that you
can use to decide whether or not you really like the design
and where you think it looks best. Have fun and try out a
number of locations on your body before making your decision.


4. Chose an artist. Finding a tattoo artist is a very
personal decision. Be careful to check out examples of their
previous work. You might also want to meet with the tattoo
artist to see if the two of you get along and if you think
the tattoo artist understandswhat you are looking for in a
tattoo.


5. Maintaining your tattoo. It will take about a month
for your tattoo to heal and the way you take care of it during
this time can affect how well it lasts. The two most important
things you can do to ensure that your tattoo lasts is to keep
it clean and most. Try washing your tattoo 4-5 times a day and
protected with a quality healing product. Your tattoo artist
will probably be able to recommend a product for you to use.


If you are reading this email, you've probably put quite a bit
of thought into whether or not a tattoo is right for you and
you are ready to move onto step two!

Choosing a design for your tattoo can be a blast with so many
options available. The perfect design is so important and
TattooMeNow.com is the best place to start your design
search.

We have thousands of designs to choose from and the designs are
grouped into categories such as butterflies, dolphins, flowers,
skulls, tribals and much more making it even easier to find the
tattoo of your dreams.

Some love her, some call her blonde and stupid...

I'm not going to tell you what I think about her, but visiting a
tattoo artist a couple of years ago together with her boyfriend
Nick Carter three weeks before their break-up to get permanent
"reminders" of each other wasn't a very smart move..

Nick says he doesn't regret his tattoo, but I think he's lying..

Who wants to be reminded of a relationship that went bad - or
anything that went wrong for that matter? Tattoos are supposed to
make you happy and feel good, not remind you of past mistakes.

So learn from Nick and Paris's stupidity and never get a tattoo
with the name of your partner, or anything else that has anything
to do with him or her - no matter how deep in love you are and no
matter how much you believe you'll be together forever.
