Frequently asked

Where should I get my first tattoo?

Forearm, outer wrist, or ankle. Moderately visible (so you live with it day-to-day) but tolerable pain.

How big should my first tattoo be?

Bigger than feels natural at first. Tiny tattoos blur into smudges within 5 years. 5–10cm is a sweet spot.

What if I regret it?

Most regret peaks around month 3–6 and fades. Removal is possible (laser) but expensive and painful. Choose meaningful subjects.
