How to choose a tattoo?

Before the procedure, think about what kind of tattoo you would like to get. I advise choosing symbols that have a special meaning to you. For example, it could be your wedding date or your children’s initials. Draw on your significant events.

You can also create unique designs by combining different elements. Another option is to use colors that symbolize certain emotions or life events.

Usually, clients opt for small tattoos as space is very limited. Simple and laconic designs on the fingers will look more winning. Of the colors I advise you to look at dark, black. They are more stable. But if desired, you can choose and bright shades.
