what to consider when choosing tattoos for couples
So you and your partner have decided to get identical tattoos, or a set of complementary tattoo designs. you have some vague ideas, but you’re looking for an image that makes you think, “yeah! That’s what I want!”
You want the kind of tattoo you’d be happy to pay hundreds of dollars for, while completely sober. because even if your relationship doesn’t last decades, this tattoo surely will.
and you want that to be a good thing. or at least you don’t want to bitterly regret sitting in that chair and saying something like, “give me a tattoo, bro!”
Whatever your reasons for getting a partner tattoo, here are a few things to consider:
- Tattoos are very difficult and expensive to remove;
- no tattoo artist, no matter how talented, is capable of reading minds. bring a photo;
- spend time researching tattoos and artists before scheduling an appointment;
- finger tattoos fade the fastest (with all the hand washing );
- tattoos on bony or sensitive areas hurt more;
- eyeliner tattoos do not age well (according to tattoo artists)
- the skin around of the tattoo will look red and swollen for a bit; this is normal.
