Things To Consider Before Getting Body Art

By Karl Leppit


Body Art Design is about making a statement with your body. There are a wide array of options for you to choose from, whether you want a small tattoo on a certain area or a full sleeve design on one arm. You are not even limited to a tattoo as there are a number of other options.

There are a number of reasons people choose to do this. Unfortunately some people may do this for short term reasons, such as wanting to put the name of their current partner or the name of their favourite sporting hero on their chosen team. When they split up with that partner or their hero changes teams this can look a bit silly.

For example some people may want to get the name of a loved one or a certain phrase in a foreign script such as Japanese ideograms or Hebrew. However do you know if the phrase that is being etched onto your body is what the artist says it is? Given that this is something that last years it is important to carefully check before you even enter a studio.

This is equally why you should be careful before getting something to celebrate a relationship. If it ends after a couple of months you will have something on your body that is stuck there for years or can be removed with very expensive laser surgery. This can equally apply to any sporting star on your local team!

Once you have chosen a design it may be better to go with a temporary version. This will give you a chance to see if it looks right and whether you want to stay with it. However just because it is temporary does not mean you should be lax. Make sure whoever is applying it does so safely and hygienically.

The body can naturally deal with this once it is aware of what is going on. The brain realises this and releases endorphins to compensate for the pain. Once finished it will feel like sunburn for about a day or so and may itch for a couple of days after that. Be sure to follow any advice and keep the area covered to ensure that the area does not become infected.

One thing people are often concerned about is the pain both during and after the application. In order to minimise this you should make sure the artist uses clean needles and machines to apply the tattoo. The hurt is usually countered by endorphins produced by the brain. Certain areas will hurt more than others, especially near the bones and in the private areas.

When choosing a Body Art Design it may be better to try a temporary tattoo first. This will give you an idea if it is one that is best for you. Make sure that the artist is qualified before agreeing to one. Most will have a website so that you can check their work and see whether it is something that you want. Alternatively a smaller design in a discrete area may help you see if you enjoy the process. Look online for more designs and what is suitable for your individual needs.
