[QUOTE="Lankan, post: 139006"] Hi I've got two tattoos (on either side of my calves), n they went real great. I too spent over a year mulling bout whether to get one or not so it's great you've got that aspect of it sorted out. I always describe the feeling of actually getting tattooed as being the same as someone drawing over you with a mechanical pencil, with the lead removed. Sure it hurts, but its a bearable pain. Neway regarding what to look out for in a good parlour n stuff you can check out this webbie: [url="http://tattoo.about.com/od/tattoo101/a/tatbegguide.htm"]http://tattoo.about.com/od/tattoo101/a/tatbegguide.htm[/url] I found it quite useful (although personally I used [url="http://www.bmezine.com"]http://www.bmezine.com[/url] and [url="http://www.bodymod.org"]http://www.bodymod.org[/url] as resources when I was scouring for info). The link off About.com have some other articles too regarding the actual process, n the science behind tattooing etc.. Basically you should not feel pressured to get a tattoo or any variation of the original tattoo you had in mind by the folks at the studio, unless of course it is valid advice in terms of the long term viability of the tattoo (whether for e.g. it suits ur pigment etc.). Most importantly wherever you get a tattoo make sure it has an [b]Autoclave[/b], cause thats what sterilizes the equipment. Parlous should be willing to show you their autoclaves and give you a rundown of their safety procedures...if they aren't then it isn't worth it. Regardin the sketchin, usually artists can draw up a stencil from a vague sketch or an idea itself (given you discuss it together), but if your sure about what you want then a finished sketch would make things all the more smoother. Be sure to ask the artists opinion 'bout the piece...regarding the placement, size, detail etc. Hope it helps! [/QUOTE]
