I made an appointment a month from now to get my first tattoo.
Our 25th wedding anniversary is coming up. The plan is a heart and banner with my wife's name and 25th worked in somewhere. It will be on my upper left arm, where it will be hidden by a polo shirt. I'm a CPA and so a tattoo isn't good professionally. But, in the summer I frequently wear sleeveless shirts, so it will get some visibility.
There's a tattoo shop within walking distance of my house. I checked their website and it showed some good work. I went down last night and talked to the owner. He seemed very nice and professional. I put $20 down to hold the time. He's going to draw two proposals this week, one more traditional, one more modern. Then wife and I will decide and/or have him make some modifications. That way we'll be certain of the design well before the appointment.
Any advice from those with tattoos? Am I missing any important considerations?
