Tattoos are created by putting coloured pigment in between the permanent base layer of your skin and the constantly changing top layer. The pigment becomes bonded to the skin cells and is visible through the translucent outer layer of your skin. artisit.jpgSo applying a tattoo properly takes much more than the ability to draw pretty pictures. A professional tattooist is an artist, a technician and a craftsman.
If the ink is put too deep in your skin, your body fluids will cause it to spread and loose definition. If the ink is not put in the skin deep enough the tattoo will fade or actually disappear in just a few months.
•     You should get tattooed in a studio that is as clean as your doctor or dentist surgery.
•     Everything that is used for your tattoo should be disposable or sterile.
Having chosen a tattooist who works clean, you should want to see examples of his work. You should try to see examples of his work in the flesh. Ask around your tattooed friends, look at the work they have, ask about the studio they visited and the experience they had. Look at their tattoo carefully.

Does It Hurt ?
DOES IT HURT??
Getting tattooed is more just annoying rather than painful.hurt.jpg

There are areas that are more painful than others are.
We wouldn't recommend that you have your first tattoo on your spine, ribcage or belly. Areas close to the bone hurt more than the padded bits (tops of arm and leg).

We hope you found the information in this leaflet helpful, if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
