Tattoos are a lifetime commitment. The whole thing about tattoos is that they last forever, relatively. They can fade a little over time but for the most part, when someone gets a tattoo, it is with them forever. Because of this, it is important to put a lot of thought and consideration into getting a tattoo. Not just the design, if it's something that will be relevant in a year, but also who is going to be doing it. Not every good artist is a good tattoo artist, sometimes big tattoo fails can be the result of an impulsive decision. A tattoo fail is embarrassing and hard to get rid of. It is best to avoid them.
