What do I need to do before I get a tattoo?

Preparation

If you want to get a tattoo, condition your skin with lotion before you go so it is in good condition, ready to absorb the ink. Do not have too dark a tan, since that will change your pigment temporarily, and your tattoo will look different when your skin fades. Look at a lot of tattoos before you decide what you want. Don't be afraid to discuss your own ideas with the artist.
