Millions of people worldwide choose to get themselves tattooed. Some people get hundreds of tattoos. Tattoos are a fairly common thing for people to have these days. Tattoos can be a lot of fun to have and to get. Many people put a lot of meaning into their tattoos. Tattoos can be used as memorial pieces for pets, friends, family, or other things they love. For other people, tattoos can purely be for the aesthetic. Then, for some amount of people, tattoos have no meaning and can just be for silly fun, even if they are bad. No matter why someone gets tattooed, it should be done well and safely.

Tattoos are very permanent, that's kind of the whole point of them. People are stuck with their tattoos forever. Sure, sometimes they can be removed with lasers or covered up with another tattoo, but that's expensive and painful. It's best to just get a tattoo right the first time, it isn't that hard. Many people choose not to do this, though, and they end up with tattoo fails. Tattoo failures can be a result of a bad artist, a bad design, or a combination of the two.
