There are so many reasons dads get tattoos, and probably the single biggest reason is to mark the birth of our children or as a tribute to them. If you’re considering a tattoo, have you thought about what design? Here are some tips to help you make the right choice.
Don’t just clone what you see on TV or what some movie star or football player has on their arm, it’s you that is going to wear the design. Do plenty of research before deciding what to get i.e. what style and how it relates to the reason. Then go looking for the best artist for that style who will make it fit and translate it.
This really is the first step in the process of getting a tattoo. It is also probably the hardest step. When you are choosing your tattoo design, you should take a few things into consideration. The location on your body, the size, the style and colouring, and the meaning. Then think carefully about the location? If you are planning to have your first tattoo placed in a very visible place on your body (like fore-arms, calves, ankles, neck, etc.) you may want to consider, would it be appropriate for your work etc?
The experts say – It’s an idea to keep it clean and classic. Don’t put too much detail in a small area, or mix genres i.e. dragons with roses and someones name on top of it. You want it to represent love, beauty and commitment not a mess of different messages.
Then go searching for a good artist that can make it all happen.
