The Three Critical Errors Your Making When Choosing a Tattoo Artist!
http://AnkleTattoos.WordPress.com

Tattoos are so popular today it's not even funny! I mean, more than 10 million Americans (YES you read that right TEN million) are estimated to own AT LEAST one tattoo!

It all started with the Johnny Depp tattoo thing, remember that? Soon every celebrity with any dignity had a tribal tattoo design. Everyone knows the Angelina Jolie tattoos, as well as Robbie Williams beatles tattoo. Tribal and lower back tattoos have come and gone but the tattoo art is still going strong with tv shows like Miami Ink.

Still, 50% of every tattoo newbie later end up regretting it. Can you imagine that? That means that about 5 million Americans alone regret their choice of tattoo! It's staggering. Let's try to not be a part of that statistic shall we?

This video is about the top three things you need to know before you run out there and get your ink done. More specifically it's what you need to look for in the tattoo artist you choose. You know, it's an art, so you need to choose an ARTIST. These short tips will help you sort the Rembrandts from the shorthands.

Okay that last part maybe didn't make sense, but I said it damnit! Now go watch that video! :p

  • Wonderful vid! A lot of it should be common sense but people do make these mistakes.

  • ahhhh i an ahhhnold shvartzenegger and my ta two palahhh

  • Number 1 and 3 should be common sense but it's great that you made a video about them because a lot of people do make these mistakes. I hadn't thought about the autoclave mostly because the place that I go opens the needles and ink right in front of you and never ever shares needles between people(which should be made law) but that's good to include. Also I would say make sure the place you go to does spore tests, this and fresh needles will cost you a bit more but it's a must.

  • I can't get my tattoos for abut 2 years, but this will be helpful when the time comes.

  • with some premium shops they do charge to have your tat drawn my tattoo artist does charge 30 an hour which is all the time he needs and he has 30 years experience so i dont really agree with that one unless they are a new business.

  • I'll be sure to look for some kind of space oven when i get my tattoo.

  • Is there any tattoo artist that you would recommend? perhaps someone in denmark etc??

    Do you know the artist Michael Lomholt and Jay Williams??

  • XD that just makes me sad lol

  • lol. is this guy aware that autoclave isnt as effective as theyre let onto be? autoclave does not destroy Prion Diseases such as Mad Cow and Alzeimers. so using once only everything is the only way to be 100% safe.

  • haha!that makes me sad 2!
