If you are interested in some angel tattoo designs, there are a few things you should think about before you get it permanently etched into your skin. You firstly want to make sure the proportion is correct, so draw it out on your skin in marker. If it is in an area you cannot reach, have a friend draw it for you.

Wear it around for a few days to make sure you do not get sick of it. You should also pick the color scheme carefully. Angel tattoos in colors like yellow, white, and pink fade very quickly and can look terrible if they are not touched up every six months. This can get pricey. All colors fade, but darker colors will still be noticeable after a few months.

You should also think about your future. An angel tattoo on your neck may seem like a great idea now, but is it going to influence your career? Are you ever going to want to enter a field where they may frown on an angel tattoo poking out of your collar? Many business etiquette books say that qualified people with visible tattoos are often not hired because of the social stigmas surrounding body art.

You should also think, too, about other occasions. If you are getting married, for instance, will you want an angel tattoo showing on your shoulder blade? Will it ruin the elegance of your gown? If you cannot think of a single situation where you would mind your angel tattoo showing in that area, then you are set to get it.

When you go about finding a place, get a quote in writing for the price. Some artists may discover 'complications' that will make them take far longer on the angel tattoo design. This could up your price by hundreds of dollars.

You also want to make sure it is a sanitary place with a good code of health. Do your research on parlors. Look at the artist's book of previous work for angel tattoo designs, better still, have a friend with a good tattoo recommend a talented artist to you.
