If you're getting a tattoo done, it is extremely crucial that you put some thinking into which tattoo artist you want to tattoo you.
Even though there are many qualified tattoo artists around, there are also the good ones and the bad ones.
Make sure you choose a good tattoo artist. Tattoo studios are very easy going and pretty open so nothing stops you from going into a couple of tattoo studios and asking to check their artists' portfolios. Here you will be able to find art work that the artists have produced and also tattoos they have previously done on other people. Try find a tattoo that has the same type of features as yours. For example, if you want a tattoo with a lot of shading or color and you find a tattoo in the artist's portfolio that has the same features as you then you should take a closer look at it and think if that artists will be ideal to do your type of tattoo.
Like we all know, some of us are better are some things and others are better at other things. The same applies to tattoo artists. Some are better at detail, others at coloring, others at shading, some at tribal tattoos and luckily enough, there are tattoo artists that can do absolute everything and everything you ask for in your tattoo.
Try figure out the style of the tattoo artist, if they are better at tribal or pretty things. Try to find out for yourself, their weaknesses and their strengths, think them all up and decide which artist would be ideal for you.
After that, all you need to do is prepare for the pain, role up your sleeves and open up your wallet... Then you are ready to roll.

Piercing Care Advice
Piercings are a pretty painful thing, some more than others but most also look pretty good, so why not? If you fancy getting piercing then there are some things you should know.
For example, if you get a piercing on the upper part of your ear, it can take up to 9 months to heal. Whilst if you get the lower part of your ear pierced, it can take up to only 6 weeks to heal.
If getting a nose piercing, I advice for you to ask the piercer to pierce you with a needle instead of the piercing gun as the gun often leaves a lump inside your nose where the piercing is on the long term. Many people also find that getting pierced with a gun causes them more pain because of the shock that part of your body goes through at the time. Also I suggest to try not to be pierced with a hook piercing as that is absolute hell to get off when you first take your piercing out. After that, its up to you which time of nose stud or hoop makes you feel the most comfortable wearing.
I also advice that if you are getting an eyebrow piercing, that you search up a little further into it before you proceed to getting the piercing as eyebrow piercings can be easily ripped out as they are a surface piercing. Eyebrow piercings can also grow out of the skin. when this happens, you can be left with a scar and for some people, that scar never entirely goes away.
Put some thinking into your piercings, give them awesome aftercare and you'll be happy with them!

Tattoo Care Advice
As we all know, tattoos can be absolute beautiful if you pick the right tattoo and the right artist to ink it up on you.
So if you are getting a tattoo, I have the following advice to give, and don't worry, you can trust me on this.
Only wrap your tattoo in cling film after you have the tattoo done, this includes the first hour or couple of hours if you do not have time to take it off beforehand. Never wear cling film on your tattoo after that because you will be sweating under that cling film and this can remove the ink and we don't want your tattoo looking horrible.
It is also very important that you keep your tattoo moisturized but don't go overboard with it. Do not use Vaseline. Vaseline is great at removing the color on the first week. I advice you to use a cream called Savlon, you can find it at your local Boots, Superdrug or even Tesco and Asda. Savlon is a great cream for tattoos, but once again don't over-do it, only apply the cream to the tattoo once a day and leave the skin to absorb the cream, do not wipe the cream off because that would just be pointless.
