Does the 30 is the New 20 Rule Apply to Tattoos?

Tattoos are usually associated with a certain level of coolness and individuality. So what about tattoos in your 30s, 40s and 50s? Are they equally accepted among the middle aged generation? How would you feel about your parents or aunts and uncles getting a tattoo? Would it be a different reaction to your little brother's first tattoo? Paula Mangin allows us into her journey of deciding were right for her or not.

I am very conflicted about the tattoo. Because I'm a fashion and corporate rebel, many are surprised there's not some ink lurking under my R13 Jeans. But the fact is I don't have a tattoo, or multiple piercings (only one hole in each ear, empty, stretched out from those huge hoops of the '80s) or anything permanent, involving needles. 2014-05-01-BLONDEVERONICA.jpg Oddly enough, Jslow is also sans tattoos. I asked her why. "I knew my tastes would change and I couldn't figure out the one thing I'd want to live with forever."

Where Should I Put My First Tattoo?

There are many considerations when preparing to dive head first into your first tattoo. Design, placement, size, color and style are all huge factors in your novice tattoo experience. We've gathered a few tips on how to survive your first ink print. Think through these advisory points on placement and maintenance before committing to your first official tattoo.

Most people, and especially people new to tattoos, should avoid getting tattoos, on their hands, neck, or head and face. In fact, most shops will refuse to do the work unless it is obvious you are already ‘in the tattoo game'.The artist knows the possible negative reaction people may have to tattoos, and placing them in a highly visible spot only increases the possibility. The other concern with getting a hand or foot tattoo is the wear and contact that these areas of your body endure. For example, if you work with your hands, that would make a hand tattoo a poor choice. The tattoo will get distorted and would also be highly noticeable. For your feet, make sure you can commit to proper healing processes; eg. a 2-3 month process of being barefoot as much as possible and truly pampering your skin. 10. Talk with your artist about proper tattoo aftercare. Generally you should keep the tattoo bandaged overnight. Then, gently wash the area the next day. Do not scratch or rub your new tattoo. Once healed, you must use sun protection as much as possible, as the UV light will fade the colors. (This is another important consideration when determining the location of your tattoo.)

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.
