One of the most rewarding parts of tattooing is giving someone something that makes them feel good about themselves. Many people are turning to tattoo artist to hide their unwanted scars instead of plastic surgeons. I’ve been covering scars for the past 7 years and with each scar the situation is different just like the person. Let me start by saying, that there are no guarantee’s when it comes to tattoos covering the scaring 100%. Some will take ink very well and some not so well, depending on the skin quality.

We create art for our clients. Some people come in with an idea already in mind and can visualize exactly what they want. Some come in with a rough idea and want us to run with it and make it our own. It’s very rare that we get the chance to be given a concept and are given the freedom to not only design but, also tattoo it the way we want.

Just some suggestions for beginners and seasoned tattoo collectors. Here are some things you may have never considered!
* Most people this time of year are still dealing with dry skin from dry heat in their homes over the winter. No matter what time of the year. It’s always good to hydrate your skin by using lotion a couple weeks prior to your tattoo. This also means drinking a lot of water. Your skin is the last part of your body to receive hydration from the water you consume, so drink up! A healthy canvas = a healthy and more vibrant tattoo!

During our visit to the Philadelphia Tattoo Convention this year we ran across some very interesting artists. We had our Zombie Caricatures done for each artist at the studio and it was really a lot of fun. We wanted to pass along some of their work and hopes that some of you may be interested in getting some work done yourself. Could even be a cool tattoo idea!
Covering a tattoo with saran wrap is usually seen at conventions to allow the person to still show their new work. The advantage of seeing the tattoo is not worth the issues associated with using this type of coverage. Saran wrap causes excessive seepage and sweat because of its occlusion of air from the skin. This will also allow the body fluids to leak out and come in contact with other people and things and putting others at risk of cross contamination. This coverage is a breeding ground for bacteria and can also affect the healing of the tattoo and the over all quality when healed.

Since tattoos have become more popular over the years, the idea of becoming a tattoo artist has also. We are sometimes asked 2 to 3 times a month by clients and random people about learning to tattoo. This blog will give you a run down on what we ourselves would look for in someone worthy of teaching. It will also give you a list of things you will need to learn to become a tattoo artist. This will also help those trying to learn on their own in hopes of working in a studio one day.
