I am looking to get a tattoo in a few days and need an irish one HELP!?


ok so im going to a tattoo party and im irish and getting my first tat. I have been looking for a irish clover with a claddagh ring around it or something like that. can any of you help with pics even if its just some kind of irish tat and where it should go. Thank you

In the state of Michigan what you are about to do is illegal. There are serious fines, and jail time to those that operate/tattoo like this. This is also a bigger health risk. Normally these are done out of a home, which is not a sterile environment. Does this home or wherever have an autoclave on site? How did they bring their materials? Are they licensed, trained (for how long, 1 week?), bloodborne pathogens certified, and do they autoclave all instruments touching you? Can they prove this to you? If they say "NO" to anyone of these questions, you are foolish to let them touch you. You run the risk of Hepatitis, HIV, MRSA (which can kill you).

As far as looking for art, you really need more time to think and decide what design you want on your body. How much time have you spent checking all the artist stuff out? These are major decisions that are/could be life changing. You have to live with the piece for the rest of you life. Laser hurts, and cover ups are more money-why? Get it right the first time. Please take your time and don’t jump the gun to get tattooed by a dirty one. Isn’t your life and you body worth that? People in this area/artists work like this for a reason, and it is not a good one. They could be the biggest hack in your area for all you know who happens to have a bad case of MRSA that he’s not telling you about. Please think twice about this, do NOT be pressured.

I am not trying to talk you out of a tattoo. First find out design you can live with forever. Be safe and go to a reputable artist at a shop, that can do all the above I mentioned.

Good luck, hope this help you.

    why don’t you get a four leafed clover on your wrist with the claddagh symbol in the middle?

    a long sleeved top will cover the tattoo so you wouldn’t have to worry about the boss’ getting funny about it

    =]

    all else fails go to a tattoo studio and tell them what you would like and they’ll be able to draw something up for you

    I don`t think a tattoo party sounds very sanitary.. I have seen many jail tattoos and such, you do not want these on your body, besides the fact that you have not even yet found a design that you love I would say wait and get one done at a tattoo parlor when you have decided on a design!!
