The reason people get tattoos is as different as the people are themselves. Approximately 34% of Americans who have tattoos say that it makes them feel more attractive and sexier. When the client gets a tattoo, they can choose a tattoo they want from flash pictures that are ready made or they can collude with the tattoo artist in order to create a custom design for the tattoo. Flash pictures are the standard designs that are usually displayed in the tattoo shop. Most tattoo shops usually have a large display of flash pictures on hand.

As soon as you are ready, the artist will stencil the design in the person’s skin. The artist will then begin to apply the ink to the outline with the use of an inking gun. The artist will know how deep the needles need to penetrate the skin during the inking process. Punctures that are too shallow will cause uneven lines and the ink not to set into the skin well enough. Punctures that penetrate too deeply will cause bleeding and excessive pain.

When you get a tattoo, the first thing that happens is that the artist inks an outline by using a needle that is single tipped and thin ink. This outline is usually done in black and the artist will create a line over a stencil. Most tattoo artists work up from the bottom of the right side so that when they are cleaning the excess ink from the newly laid line the stencil outline isn’t smeared.
