Can’t Decide What Tattoo To Get?

What will it be

Deciding to get your first tattoo can be an intimidating experience. After all, tattoos are basically forever, so you have to be absolutely sure of your decision.

Further complicating things is the fact that there are a ton of factors to consider before your final decision is made. These factors include who is going to do the tattoo, where on your body it will go, what style of art you will choose, etc.

Doing this on your own can be quite daunting, so I’m going to give you a hand in case you happen to be stuck and can’t decide what tattoos to get.

Choose Your Design

I’ve heard people say that you can leave this for last because it is the most difficult and personal part of the whole process. However, to those people, I say choose your design first for the very same reasons.

Choosing a design can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.

Most people have, at the very least, a faint idea of what they want to get as their first tattoo. These people usually focus on their hobbies, passions, memories, experiences in life, etc. If you happen to have no idea whatsoever, it can be helpful to view tattoo galleries online.

Choose something that resonates with you on a personal level. Don’t make the mistake of getting a tattoo based on what’s trending at the moment or based on somebody else’s expectations.

Placement And Size

There are a few things to consider when deciding where on your body your new tattoo will go. For example, you should consider your pain threshold. A large tattoo can take several hours to complete, and some designs may even take several sessions. Thus, if you choose to get your tattoo in sensitive areas of the body such as the ribs or inner thigh, and your pain threshold is low, you may end up in a world of hurt.

If your chosen design is complex and has lots of intricate details, you want to get it on a large area of the body such as the back, chest, or outer leg
