Karen thoroughly discusses all the major points to consider when planning a tattoo-emphasis on PLANNING. A tattoo is definitely not something you want to get off a wall when drunk downtown one night...


Matt rated 5 out of 5 Interesting breakdown of considerations for a tattoo 03/15/2008 ~ matt

This video brings up several things about tattoos that I hadn't considered. Pain factor, placement issues, and the importance of giving an artist time to look at what you want well in advance so they can work on it before you come in.

There is a lot discussion of health factors in here that I never would have thought of and the attention to detail is something I really appreciated. Sometimes lessons skim over topics, but this has nice examples of what to look for for sterile technique, down to what to look for in packaging.

Usually at the end of lessons I find myself wishing certain things had been addressed in more detail. This time, I just went away feeling like I know what I need to. Thanks!
