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?
You're doing it all wrong. You're supposed to hit a bottle of tequila and wake up in a painful fog, only to notice a tattoo you can't remember getting. Bonus points if there's a strange woman in your bed. Double bonus points if your wife is there too and not at all unhappy about the situation.
But if you must be responsible about this, it looks like you're on the right track.
