How to get a tattoo
How I did it: We waited and used our tax refund to get us each a tattoo, my first, his third. We started researching parlors in our area, looking at their work and talking to others in the area whose ink we admired, and finally chose our parlor. Once we knew where we wanted to go, we went in and talked to them about how much it would cost for the ink we wanted. Once we knew that, we decided we'd have to use our tax refund.
Lessons & tips: RESEARCH! Make sure you check out all the tattoo parlors in yoiur area, check out how much they cost, look at their portfolios. This is an IMPORTANT step!
Resources: Ooh, Aveeno lotion was my best friend for a couple weeks after I got my ink. They tell you to use a scent-free lotion on it for a couple weeks afterwards to help the healing process. I kept a travel/sample size in my purse so that I could use it whenever I felt I needed it.
