Getting a Tattoo
7 Tips to Consider Prior to Getting a Tattoo
1. Is the tattoo artist experienced? This is perhaps the most important thing to consider before hiring any one particular tattoo artist.
2. Will the tattoo image be as important to you in the future as it is right now? For instance, if your tattoo will be in celebration of a love interest, are you absolutely certain that person will be there 10, 20 or even 50 years from now?
3. Why do you want to get the tattoo?
4. Are you prepared to deal with possible consequences that may arise out of getting a tattoo? This may include an infection or severe soreness of the skin at the site of the tattoo.
5. Do you have a design in mind? If you don't, stop by the local tattoo parlor and ask to see some samples of what is available.
7. Do you have a fear of needles? If you do, tattoos may not be for you. There is no other way to say it, but getting a tattoo is painful. It does involve needles and you should really consider your level of tolerance before signing up for a tattoo.
Can you afford the cost associated with surgery? The only way to remove a tattoo is through surgery, which can be very expensive. Unless it is for medical reasons, most health insurance policies will not cover the cost of a tattoo removal. This means that the patient will often find themselves with 100% of the financial responsibility and, before getting a tattoo, you should make sure that you will be financially able to handle any future medical procedures that are associated with a tattoo.

Finding a Suitable Design
If you have made up your mind to get a phoenix tattoo design, the next stage in your planning should involve research into finding a suitable design. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of tattoo galleries, both online and offline, from which you can choose your perfect phoenix tattoo. These galleries are usually full of color and are a pleasant way to while away the time as you make up your mind.
However, try not to get too distracted by the dozens of alternative designs available. Stick to the phoenix design!Vitally important in your final decision should be the color and size; you have to like the design, but it also has to coordinate and blend and all these elements must match if your design is to be esthetically pleasing. A balance is, therefore, needed: not too many similar or contrasting colors. Your tattoo will be with you for a long, long time so make sure it doesn't look awkward or out of place.
Finally, once you've decided on a phoenix tattoo design, you should spend a good deal of time with your chosen tattoo artist and explain exactly what it is that you are looking for and maybe even suggest a few alternate phoenix designs. Who knows, between you both you may come up with a new 'hybrid' phoenix design. It's a big decision, so take your time and 'live' with the various designs for a period of time before finally having it inked.

That Tattoo Worth the Cost Years Later
Many believe that since the tattoo can go on so easily the tattoo can come off just as easily. Tattoo removal can be quite complicated and is not always successful. The colors that were used for the tattoo can play a large role in the success of its removal since colors like black are more easily removed than colors like green or red. Laser tattoo removal is not a pleasant procedure to have done. Removing a tattoo is much like getting a tattoo in the sense of time. The larger the tattoo is the longer it takes to have it removed.
One other very painful fact that isn't physical pain is the cost of having tattoo removal procedures done. Medical insurance will often not cover tattoo removal procedures so this makes having a tattoo removed impossible for some people. Since the procedure is considered to be cosmetic, insurance companies classify it as unnecessary and therefore the cost is solely on the person to have the tattoo removed.

Another Gil Elvgren lady, done by Joao Bosco. I think he nailed her 'come hither' expression.
The most current in style lower back tattoos
The most current in style lower back tattoos are:
- Angel tattoos project a forward thinking belief in life and it is believed that when a man wears an angel tattoo the he likes the ladies!
- The most popular cross tattoos for the lower back is the Christian cross. Other cross designs that are popular are the Celtic, Egyptian or Russian cross and look especially good in the centre of the lower back.
- Dragon tattoos are very popular and look great as a lower back tattoo especially when they are big and are wrapped around the body with their wings spanning across the lower back and breathing fire up the spine. They actually signify authoritative, fierce, and liberated personalities.
- The popular trend for star tattoos is to have them placed in the centre of the lower back or on the hips. As these designs are small they can be discretely hidden.
