Bad Tattoo Choices

[alex charles]

If you get a tattoo you want to make sure you don't make a bad choice.
No matter how good it may seem at the time, think hard about the
following factors that make up a real bad tattoo choice.
1. India ink homemade tattoos. These are common with youth, and you
will often see grown adults with old and dull green unrecognizable
"smears" on their body. Sometimes it looks like it might be a skin
condition, but in reality it's a homemade India ink tattoo put on by a
beginner several years ago, usually during their youth. I've seen home
made tattoos that used to say a name and now it's totally
unrecognizable. These are generally bad choices, and it's best to save
up some money and get a killer tattoo done by a pro.
2. Tribal tattoos or trendy tattoos. If you are truly into tribal then
by all means go for it, but if you are just jumping on the bandwagon
then forget it. Many tribal tattoo wearers jumped on the bandwagon
years ago and got a big tribal tattoo because it was trendy to do. Now
they are unoriginal and many are regretful that they got a design
which practically everyone and their brother now has. This also goes
for other trendy tattoo's such as the low center girl back tattoo that
has become so overdone, a slang term "tramp stamp" has developed
referring to such tattoos.
3. Face/neck tattoos. Many tattoo artists won't even do face tattoos
as they can have a horrible impact on a individual down the road. I
remember reading that a high suicide rate went along with face tattoo
wearers. The neck for some people can be an ideal place for a tattoo,
but for others it may seem good at the time, but due to the problem of
not being able to cover it up all the time there can be heavy regret
down the road. Some individuals have resorted to wearing band aids at
their place of work to cover up a neck tattoo they got several years
ago. Also, the neck tattoo seems to be becoming somewhat of a trend
now days, placing it into the bad choice trendy tattoo category.
