Introduction To Tattoos.

Of all the body modifications available, none are as individualistic and artistic as tattoos.  A well done tat can say quite a bit about who you are.  However, the emotive power of an artfully executed tattoo design can be eroded if you ignore the common mistakes people make when deciding to get a tattoo.  But how to choose a tattoo design doesn't need to be a difficult or scary process.  As a conservatively tattooed man, with a large group of friends with a wide range of tattoos, from the pedestrian to the extreme, I have learned more about tattooing and piercing than most people do in a lifetime. I want to pass this knowledge on to you so that you can avoid the mistakes most people make, and so that your tattoo experience is a positive and rewarding lifestyle choice that you will be happy with for decades to come.
