About Tattoos includes the general details that do not neatly fit into any other LoveToKnow Tattoos category. Here, you will find information about Celebrities with Tattoos, what to do when you've outgrown your current tats, and where to find all the latest designs, industry news, and best of all, which galleries and magazines are worth your time.

The Tattoo Commitment

You've probably heard the horror stories about inking your lover's name on your arm only to have your heartbroken the next day, leaving you to regret your decision. It happens, but you do have options. You can choose a temporary design to match your "no commitment" personality, have the tattoo design changed to cover up the name, or you can have the stain removed, for a cost. The cost of a removal is significant enough, both in the scarring potential and the price, that it is a good idea to go into a tattoo parlor well informed and prepared to make a decision you can live with for a while.

Ask yourself some of the following questions:

• What design?
• Where would you like the design located?
• Is this a fad or a lifestyle statement?
• What is the reputation of the tattooist?
• Are you allergic to any chemicals or dyes that may be used in the Tattoo Ink? Can the artist working on your design even tell you what is in the ink he uses?

Tattoo Perks

Tattoos are a terrific way to make statements about your style, heritage, or personal history. They can act as a badge of courage or as a reminder to strive toward greater things. Tats can draw attention to your personal assets and add a dash of sex appeal. But the secret to any long-term satisfaction with a tattoo is in knowing what you want and having the courage to go for it.
