The most common mistake people make when trying to get a tattoo is not doing their research. They may think they know exactly what they want, but once they're in the chair and see it up close, they realize that the design doesn't quite work for them. 2 Another common mistake is not getting a consultation with a professional artist before going to the parlor. A good artist can help you decide on the right size, placement, and design of your tattoo. 3 Finally, many people don’t consider how long it will take to heal properly before getting a tattoo. Getting a tattoo hurts! Make sure you give yourself enough time for the skin to fully recover before adding more ink to your body.
