Tattoo's are permanent, and I think our society hasn't forgotten that little fact. People seem to wake up one morning with the idea in their head that they need to get Mini Mouse tattooed on their neck, and later that day they make a decision they will soon regret. Not that I am some sort of tattoo expert, but I do like all of mine, so I have made a list of some simple rules to avoid getting something put on your body you may someday hate... 

  • Don't Drink & Tattoo

    Just like boinking a chick that you might not be proud of in the morning and catching herpes... Tattoos are forever too, and booze affects your judgement. Friends don't let friends get tattoos drunk, and for the most part tattoo shops don't either... Thank goodness!

  • Pick the Right Body Part

    Tattoos are meant to be shown off, so don't get one on your Johnson or your ass because no one wants to see that!

    Also, you might want to avoid your face, because you may get funny looks!

  • Don't Get Names

    Tattoos are forever and sadly, girlfriend's, boyfriends, even husbands or wives sometimes are not. The whole that's my dead dog's name excuse doesn't work anymore!

  • Be Original

    The Pam Anderson barbed wire arm band is overdone! . If you can't think of something original, you probably don't need to get one.

  • Try it Before You Buy it

    If you are going to get a Mike Tyson face tattoo, draw it on your face and wear it around, see if you can take the heat, for a couple weeks before you go get it permanently tattooed.

  • Research Foreign Languages

    If you want the Chinese symbol for "I like chicken," research it, and make sure you know you are getting the right symbol... You wouldn't want to have something on your arm that says "I love beef and broccoli."

  • Don't Let Your Friend Tattoo You

    Just because your friend can draw one hell of a Spongebob Squarepants, and happens to have a tattoo gun in his garage does NOT mean he should tattoo! I realize tattoos can be expensive, but pay the money, and do it right! No one wants a Spongebob that looks like a cheeseburger... Or a staph infection!

  • Logos are No-Go's

    If you have the Nike logo tattooed on your back I instantly know I don't want to be your friend. I would also hesitate to get your favorite bands logo tattooed on you... Again like relationships, your taste can change and you could be stuck with a huge Miley Cyrus tattoo on your back.

  • Keep it Classy

    No F-word's, no naked ladies, no tattoo's that make your belly button look like a cow's butthole... They may be cool/funny for second, but they aren't cool when you happen to end up in the hot tub with your mama... If mama ain't happy nobody's happy!
