Three Body Parts Not Meant For Tattoos And Why

Your face, hands, and feet are the three places on your body
that a tattoo artist may try to talk you out of tattooing. You may
actually have a difficult time finding an artist who will give you a
tattoo there. Why is this? Because often times people are impulsive
about getting tattoos and the artist knows this.

Getting a tattoo is something that should be given a lot of thought because a tattoo is a permanent piece of art As you consider getting
a tattoo, you need to see the big picture of your life. An example of
this is your face area. Your face is obviously a highly visible area of
your body. You may not care today about your employment possibilities,
but a visible tattoo could cause you problems in getting a job,
especially a tattoo on your face. A tattoo in an area like your face
has the potential of ruining your life.

Good tattoo artists
understand the significance of wearing permanent art and they truly
want their clients to be happy, not just as they leave the studio, but
for the rest of their lives with their choices in tattoos. According to
the professional tattoo artists I have talked to, they all say they
will not tattoo someone in several areas, including the face.

Tattoos
on the hands and feet also have the potential of being of poor quality
because your hands and feet get the most physical abuse from everyday
life. It is very difficult to maintain a good quality tattoo once you
leave the studio when it is on these parts of your body. The constant
friction of socks and shoes on your feet can wear away a healed tattoo
as well. Healing of these areas is also very difficult and can take up
to 3 months. Your hands and feet can also require more touch-ups from
the tattoo artist. An artist who will do one of these tattoos may not
want to include the touch-ups for free, as they usually do with tattoos
on other parts of your body.

As I said before, it could be
difficult to find a tattoo artist who will do one of these tattoos.
Just make sure that you do not sacrifice a safe, quality tattoo
experience and get an inferior artist just to get the tattoo. You
should be prepared to have to take extra special care of these types of
tattoos as well.
