the one piece of advice i give to anyone thinking about getting a tattoo is, would it look cool on your mom? because when you are your mom's age, that's what it's gonna look like.

Comment number one is cliche and stupid.

Don't think of that. Think of now. I adore tattoos and when you're old you'll look old no matter what. Live in the now and be happy with the way you look now. Fretting over the future will just make you stressed out over everything.

I don't know any of the shops in the area but I recommend talking to the artists and making an appointment for a later date. That way you can get the feel of the place and the person. You never want an asshole inking your skin.

Drawing up your own design, be as specific as possible, use color if you want color, shading, so forth, and don't be closed to the artists suggestions to change.

And this type of post is fine. ;D
