3 Things You Need to Know Before You Get a Tattoo

Tattoo lovers come in all shapes and sizes. Like all forms of art, what one person finds perfect, another may see as unbearable. There are some aspects of getting a tattoo that are universal however, and that should be sought after and understood by anyone seeking some ink.

Quality of the Studio Matters

We've all heard horror stories about people getting bad tattoos, backyard tattoo parties, biker tattoo parties, and basically any unsanitary, non-sterile situation where people have gotten tattooed. Most of these situations involve alcohol as well; which when combined with the non-sterile environment places them at the top of the "Don't Do" list for getting a tattoo. While getting a tattoo in less-than-optimum environment won't absolutely guarantee you get a bad tattoo or heaven forbid, a serious infection, it would simply be wiser to opt-out of these kinds of situations entirely and visit a reputable, licensed, sterile tattoo facility instead.

Bring Your Own Artwork or Idea

Yes, tattoo studios have books and books of artwork already available for you, but do you really want something that potentially hundreds, even thousands of people are already wearing? Isn't the purpose of getting the tattoo to mark something special about your life? You don't need a professional or to pay someone to draw you something, but have a good idea of what you want, be able to describe it, or have a picture handy to give the artist something to go on. A good tattoo artists will be able to help you refine your artwork before they ink you anyway. Remember also that tattoos look larger on paper. Once they're applied to your skin the perspective will change a bit so choose something slightly larger than you would normally to compensate.

All Tattoos Can Be Removed

The days of people using salt or creams are reaching an end. Unless you'd simply like to cover your tattoo temporarily, there is no reason for you to put-off laser tattoo removal for unwanted body art. The prices are affordable, the new Quanta Q-Plus Lasers take out every spectrum of ink, and professional tattoo studios typically offer skin cooling procedures to keep the pain under control.

Whether you need to free up some space for a new tattoo, or are simply looking to get rid of an old one, laser tattoo removal is the best option available.

Jeff Goyette Bio

Jeff Goyette was born and raised in Massachusetts where tattooing was illegal, and to this day is only allowed on a per community basis, with each community deciding for themselves whether to allow it or not. Jeff still wanted to be a tattoo artist, and so learned his trade and took it on the road with the tattoo tour where he continued his tattoo education through coursework and tour experience.

In 1993 Jeff opened Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio in Portsmouth RI as a way to get out of touring and establish some roots in the community. He has been in this location for 17 years. After a few years in the shop however, he wanted to use his traveling experience to be able to bring tattooing to people who might not have the chance to get to a brick-and-mortar shop.

So he built the Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo truck, over 73 feet of truck housing a state of the art, sterile, mobile tattoo facility ~ there is nothing else like it on the planet, literally, as the Guiness Book of World Records has named it the largest tattoo facility in the world, but simply has no category to place it in.

The truck travels to fairs, events, concerts, and even does private parties, drawing large crowds and those who do not have access to a local tattoo studio for their body art. Jeff loves when he can give back to a community, and often simply brings the truck to draw in numbers at charity events whenever possible, whether any tattooing will be done or not.

He and his artists model their work on the belief that a customer should always feel that they have received a quality piece of art, that the work is consistent, and that they can be proud of their tattoo as well as where it came from.
