There are four major different types of tattooing.  The first would be, abstraction tattoos, and with this type of tattooing they are done in shades of black and classic gray. The second would be naturalistic tattoos, and this type of tattoo name speaks for itself, this is done in a natural way, and every tattoo is designed to make as real as possible. The third would be the dedication tattoos, this type of tattoo is known as “pledges”, and for example they are prayer hands with someone name, hearts with people’s names inside and many more different types of things. The fourth would be simplification tattoos, this is a tattoo that doesn’t have any limited boundaries and the tattoo can be any shape and size.

Once you and your artist are ready they will walk you over to the station and clean the area where you want your tattoo with rubbing alcohol. Any hair around the area will be shaved with a razor, and once again the area will the cleaned with rubbing alcohol. The artist with use a thermal fax to make the stencil which will be placed on the area where you want to get your tattoo. The artist will use a stick of deodorant which makes transfer darken on your skin once the stencil is pulled away it will look purple-ish blue. The artist will show you the needles they will be using on you and start connecting the tattoo machine. While doing your tattoo the artist will use A&D ointment or Vaseline once will only be applied on clean areas, and the ink that will be used on your skin will be placed in tiny cups called, “ink caps”.

Many people get tattoos for all the wrong reasons. Some people get them just because everyone else is and because they think they will be cool and people will like them. One of the main real reasons people get tattoos are because they have meaning and something special behind them. Tattoos are supposed to mean something to you just like everything you want or have has meaning to it. My favorite person that has tattoos is a rapper named, “Lil Wayne”, I believe he has over 200 different tattoos and behind every still one is something important and means something different.
