When one is contemplating on getting a tattoo they should take the time to connect with a tattoo artist. A tattoo is a permanent work of art which takes several steps to achieve what you are desiring. Those several steps could include multiply visits and maybe even a touch up or two. Over time you may need to meet up with your tattoo artist again so they can brighten up the colors or just add-on to your tattoo. You will have a more enjoyable outcome from an over-time relationship then a quick “one-night stand” tattoo. It appears that most of the regretted tattoos are from an impromptu visit to a tattoo shop with no pre-thought on what is wanted. This results in a rushed pick from a tattoo flash book and no extra attention or detail is taken. Since no relationship was formed you might find it hard to ask for a touch up … everyone knows how awkward a one-night stand is 😉
