All summer long I had an obsession to get a tattoo, but had to wait until I was finished going to the beach or on the boat. My only problem was where to actually put it on my body. Some ideas were to have it done on my back, side hip or leg. For hours I looked on every website I could find to decide what design I actually wanted and where it would look exceptional on me. A design of an evil eye caught my attention. The evil eye was a symbol which I always connected with. The symbol itself means protected from evil and harm. This was the design I wanted. It just screamed my name. The tattoo company I selected is located in Brick, New Jersey. Their artist is exceptional and I chose a guy named Jason. He had a book with all the previous tattoos he had done and I loved the style of his art. The appointment with Jason was scheduled for a few days later. I was so nervous and worried about whether I would actually like the tattoo once it was done since I knew it was going to be a permanent feature of my body. I stressed about what if he made a mistake or made it too little or too large. What if it got ruined by not putting enough cream on it afterwards or got infected. So many wild thoughts ran through my mind. I almost backed out of the appointment. Nonetheless, the day of the appointment arrived on a Tuesday in August. My mother came with me since you needed a parent to give permission to get a tattoo if you are under the age of eighteen. Jason made me

During the twenty years that Hildebrandt worked at his New York tattoo shop, he tattooed some of the very first completely covered circus attractions (Eldridge, 2013a). One of those “circus attractions” was his very own daughter, Nora Hildebrandt.
The rising popularity of tattoos and body piercing is more than just the latest fashion craze. This type of body art has been a part of this world for thousands of years. Tattoos and piercings have served as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments and even forms of punishment (Smithsonian.com). In the later years (1940 – 2000) tattoos and piercings were more common among teenagers and young adults, but now, people of all ages are expressing themselves through body art. To try and understand this rise in the desire to permanently mark ones self, we must first determine the origin and history of tattoos and piercings.
The law will also require the specialist and the person getting the tattoo or piercing to sign a consent form confirming the specialist showed them the sealed single-use package, and opened it in front of them. The studio would then have to keep those forms for seven years. Wilson says unless those consent form were notarized, they would be pointless and just take up space. "We would have to keep stacks and stacks of paper. We'd literally have to get a separate storage unit for the paperwork," explains Wilson.
Being passed up by the county, he said, “made me work harder to prove myself as a good person, not someone who would be judged by my outside tattoos. I never thought they would be a barrier (to getting hired). A lot of people told me I should not, but I didn't listen to them. It was my choice and I did it.
“The nicest people I have ever met are covered in tattoos, while the most judgment people that I have met are the once who don’t have tattoos” (Earl Dibbles). When someone sees a person with a bunch of tattoos, maybe the first thing that comes to their mind is Thug, stupid, thief, or maybe even crazy. Judging a person off of first feeling with tattoos can lead to false allegation and potentially hurt a person’s feelings. Tattoos have existed since the beginning of civilization and although widespread now, there are still misconceptions about them. I have come across many people with tattoos, especially my friend which is MMA fighter; his name is Nasratullah Akhunzada. He has a bunch of tattoos on his body. First of all, he loses his job cause of his tattoos
This essay describes the job of a tattoo parlor and the tattoo artist, and the interaction between the artist and the customer. The description is of a normal day where I visit Blue Moon Tattoo, watch a lady being tattooed, and receive a tattoo of my own. I describe the complete day in the parlor, from watching a woman find the perfect tattoo, to watching her getting the tattoo. Along with the description, the main point of this essay is to explain how people can actually be comfortable with a tattoo artist and be comfortable with needles being poked into their body. A small amount of interaction between the artist and the customer makes the tattoo have a bit of personality, and a memorable experience.
It’s very important to make sure the tattoo studio is clean and safe, and that all equipment is disposable (needles, gloves, masks, etc.) and that everything is sterilized. You can call your state, county, or local health department to ask for recommendations on licensed tattoo shops, or to ask about any complaints about a particular studio.
The decision to get a tattoo is personal and different for everyone. Tattoos are generally permanent additions to the body. Rushing into a design typically ends in regret. Taking a considerable amount of time to find the perfect design and the positioning on ones’ body may not be a bad idea. Unfortunately, there are far more tattoos that are spur-of-the-moment rather than thoroughly considered, meaningful, or commemorative tattoos. In Beth Janes’s article, “Why I Rue My Tattoo,” and Stephanie Dolgoff’s piece, “Tattoo Me Again and Again,” the authors describe the different processes that they went through when deciding to get their tattoos. Both authors discuss their reasons for getting their tattoos, the designs they chose to get, and
"I think the tattoo scene will be bigger now since they're legal," Jake Branson, 21,

Have you ever wondered how a person gives a tattoo? I have pondered this question for many years, ever since I got my first tattoo. Even though tattoos are more common than they were years ago, tattooing is a process that is complicated and a skilled art. The process of giving a tattoo can be very in depth and difficult to understand. For many years, the process of giving a tattoo was only learned by proving one’s self to a tattoo artist in hopes that they would give you your own tattoo machine one day. Now that the art of tattooing has become so popular, it is more easily learned. There are many different steps to follow in giving a tattoo. The first step is talk with the client about what tattoo that they are interested in getting. After
Finally, tattoos are permanent and very hard to get off. It would be hard to pick one design and to stick with that design for the rest of your life. Most people change their mind about everything at least three times. What may have seemed cool when you were 25 is completely different kind of cool when you are 55. Also, your body changes too. You won’t have the same body at 25 when you are 55. That tattoo will be there forever unless you decide to use laser surgery to have it remove, which would cost at least a thousand more than the tattoo itself. Then, after you have it removed you will still have a scar where the tattoo use to be. You could even end up in hell for having a tattoo. God created your human body and expected you to die with that human body. Which, if you get a tattoo it would be a creation
