THE PERFECT TATTOO




Look for the perfect tattoo for some people can be difficult. If you are wondering what are the things you look for in a tattoo, many were undecided about the first tattoo. However, the reason for the perfect tattoo being hard to find is the fact that it is a design that is going to be on your skin for life. Some tattoo artist recommends designs to their consumers that are close to their personality. For example, most women would be seen with a flower, because of the beauty it symbolizes. On the other hand, a person could have personal significant meanings to a symbol. If a person is also unsure of a design for a tattoo, research shows that some can e found on the internet, in magazines, and even recommend by a friend that have a particular design. Tattooing is very popular but every tattoo seen on a person has a meaning to them. Things close to heart can help someone choose a design meant for them. There is not a right or wrong tattoo to get but there would be no purpose to get a tattoo that has no meaning to you. Almost 1500 years ago, tribes even had body art but they also had meanings to them. For example if boy was becoming a man, there were body art that they had to receive to indicate so. Then tattoos were worn as badges like on soldiers. When picking a tattoo never rush into it just to have one. Because tattoos are permanent, they should be thought through carefully and well. I believe those who wear body art should be proud of their design or designs and because of the meaning, it has to them. It is their perfect tattoo and no one else. Even with the same design, each tattoo is different because of their meanings.








Economy N Tattoos

Are Tattoos the only thing not being affected by the economy’s slump? After reading articles and researching, it has been said that allot of tattoo businesses has mad a drastic increase in work other than the thought of closure. Throughout the country there are companies that have been around for decades that are laying off jobs or even closed down due to the change in the economics today. But why is it that there is no dreadful challenges for tattoo artist? I think I may have a answer. In order to be a tattoo designer or to even own a tattoo parlor, a person is to have insurance licenses, supplies, and many important things before they can just get started with their art. A pound of money has to be invested for a good and durable company to be run. Tattooing is not a small business at all, and there are millions of artist known for wonderful jobs. When the recession came, tattoo artist made recession marketing by allow consumers to come to knock on their door. In other words, many artist was allowing themselves to do business out of their own homes. The reason for doing business out of a home themselves was to cut down on owing money for parlor rent or booth rent. The tattoo artist would make more and more money and not lose much. Money would only come in need for new or updated supplies. The economy hasn’t affect the tattooing business because of the different ways an artist can go about continuing their service. There isn’t a lot of shortcuts that your ordinary companies can take to keep from closing the business they have worked hard for. But many doesn’t know that the tattoo business is much bigger and successful than it seems.
