formspring.me




I want to get a tattoo kind of like the one you posted of the outline of the continents, but I want it to be somewhere where it will look good forever. any suggestions?

The one thing that stops tattoos from looking good forever is tanning and stretching.

I don't think there is one place on the body that won't stretch with age.
But there are places that will stretch less, mainly your wrist and your lower back.
Remember, skin stretches due to weight loss/gain, working out, friction. etc.
So the place which will properly get stretched the most would be your stomach or the area around it.
Don't forget, if you work out and gain a lot of muscle over a short period of time, that would stretch your skin too!

And remember to put sunscreen onto your tattoo if you're going be under strong sunlight for a long period of time.

Hope that helped :)

P.S
This is one of the reasons why you shouldn't get a tattoo when you're too young and still have a lot of physical growing to do.

Just Wondering.



I would love to create a few 'Tattoologist' T-shirts. It's just a thought, and i was wondering if you would want one or not. It would be a set of simple style T-shirts.
What do you think? Would you purchase one?

it's my 18th birthday soon and i want to get my first tattoo, of the gps coordinates of my favourite place in the world, but i don't know where to get it on my body! where would you suggest?

Hi!

Happy 18th Birthday! sorry if i'm late.

gps co-ordinations tend to be quite long (assuming you'll have it done in one line)
so i would suggest tattooing it in a place which won't stretch as much, or change when you move.

An example of tattoos changing when you move is a long tattoo on your forearm running from your elbow down. When you turn your hand the tattoo tends to twist from being straight into being slanted.

I would suggest your foot, wrist, back or Angelina Jolie's placement of the shoulder.

Remember, these are only suggestions, it's down to what you like in the end ;)
