Caution: Tattoos Can Become Addicting
March 12, 2011Metro Detroit Tattoo Studio Wants To Know If You’re A Baby Deliverer Or A Porn Star?
April 20, 2011Before a tattoo is performed the recipient must choose the right tattooist for the job. As a tattooist I thought what if I had a choice to tattoo ten people? Who would they be? Several names came to mind right away, but I wanted to keep the list to only ten. Here is a random list of ten people in no particular order. I’ve even included the tattoo and the reason for it.
Alan Mulally, Ford CEO– Alan is greatly responsible for the turnaround at Ford Motor Company. I would design a phoenix tattoo. This would represent the rebirth and resurrection through fire and adversity. It would be placed on his chest above his heart.
Alicia Smith, Channel 7 Anchor– Alicia means graceful and intelligent. I would create a blue toned butterfly about the size of a quarter and place it on the side of her right foot.
Tommy Hearns, Boxer–The 7 time world champion helped make Kronk an absolute dynasty. I would create a Kronk family Coat of arms symbol for Tommy and the entire Kronk family.
Charlie Sheen, Actor–A traditional “mans ruin” design complete with drugs, women, and booze. To be placed on his right forearm as a constant reminder as he “withdrawls” at the ATM.
Kim Kardashian, Actress– I would design a golden heart for her that represents her popularity of being at one with all things. I would place it on her right butt cheek.
Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers MVP – I would tattoo the key to the city on his right bicep. He is our driver so please drive responsibly.
Molly Mcdonald– The Founder of The Pink Fund would receive a pink ribbon tattoo for her drive and determination to battle the effects of breast cancer.
Robocop, Fictional Detroit Hero-I propose an Old English D tattoo on Robo Cops right bicep. (Its amazing how much respect is commanded around the world from the Old English D tattoo).
Salvatore Giunta, Congressional Medal of Honor Hero– Would receive The American Flag and Eagle with talons extended. It would be my way of extending gratitude for his extreme heroism.
Ryan Seacrest, Entertainment Host– Would receive A map with the Motown logo tattooed down his left inner forearm arm. As he is driving up I75 he could just glance at the permanent map to find his way.
When you are ready for the experience of a lifetime make sure that you
choose your tattooist wisely. Just because you are feeling gutsy doesn’t mean you will gain the optimal performance you deserve. Keep it in a professional environment. Visit a few studios beforehand. Price shopping is not the way to go. Focus on artistic quality and demeanor of your tattooist. By working with a professional tattooist he/she will try their best to make sure the design fits with the natural flow of the bodies’ curvature. Now you are ready to make an appointment for your session. Make sure that you eat a couple of hours before and that you are clean. Drinking alcohol or taking drugs is never encouraged before having your tattoo done. Do it naturally so that you can experience the full scope of body produced enhancers.
Never bring a consultant to the session because they may interfere with the progress by getting in the way. Chewing a piece of gum while you are having your tattoo done is a great way to stabilize your breathing level and to gain the optimal amount of endorphins during the procedure.
As long as you take the impulsive nature out of the tattoo and are willing to follow through with the necessary steps than this puts you at a distinct advantage. First you are picking and choosing your studio and artist wisely. Next your subject matter should be well thought out. Last but not least by doing your homework you will gain an optimal experience of a lifetime.
