heart with wings - heart

My husband and I are thinking of getting tattos. I have never had one before. What and where should we get the tattoos? We are thinking of getting the heart with wings. I am thinking of doing something to honor my dad as well but not sure. I am nervous about it but want to do it. Any ideas for "clean" areas and ideas of tattos?

Hello. I have many friends with many tattoos and there is one thing that they all agree on. Even though it may cost a little more, find a tattoo artist with a good reputation and is well known. It shouldn't be too hard to find one in your area. Just ask. In general, people are ok talking about their tattoos and are proud of them aws they usually have a sentimental meaning or story behind them. The reason I bring this up is that the successful / well known artists with a good reputation are the better artists which follow the highest standard of hygene in their shops.

Great suggestion. I will definitely check into that. I didn't even think about that.

Thanks. Just be sure that you ask the tattoo parlor if they use new needles for each tattoo done. And then watch them unwrap the needle.

Just make sure you put serious thought into your design. Don't just pick something on a whim. I thought about my 1st tattoo for well over a year before I went through with it. As far as locations, is it something you want hidden or do you want others to see it all the time? Plus what is your pain tolarance? Can you handle a good amount a pain or no? Also is the tattoo going to be big or small? All this should be taken into account when you deceide on the location for your tattoo.

I truly appreciate your response. I am putting thought into this but I am at the point that I do not know what else to think. I do want it hidden. My pain tolerance is not very good at all. The tattoo will definitely be small because I do not want a huge one the first time I get a tattoo. Thank you again for all your questions, it has helped me.
