After months (years?) Of hesitation and a dozen models spotted on Pinterest, we are finally ready to make an appointment with a tattoo artist.

But how can you be sure that you will never regret your tattoo?

This act, not really innocuous, requires a little thought, hindsight and some tests to make the right choice.

• Draw her future tattoo with pen

First step on the road of the tattoo: to check that our look is not going to be struck by this ornament. Also, before going under the needle of the tattooist, it is advisable to draw - with makeup or a pen - a pattern where you want to get a tattoo.

And repeat the operation for several weeks in a row to see if you get used.

• Test your visual with the Ink Hunter app

A revolutionary application can help us in our last hesitations: Ink Hunter .

Thanks to a projection system, the application allows you to visualize any part of your tattooed body with one of the saved patterns or via personal motifs uploaded.

Ideal to get a clear idea of ​​our future tattoo.

• Know the price and medical recommendations

Last but not least: you have to know all the details around the tattoo.

Fame of tattoo artist or salon, quality of ink, price of tattoo and number of "ironies" envisaged.

The goal ? Avoid scares, annoyances and regrets.

Another important fact, we think about the date of appointment. Indeed, tattooing and sun do not really mix well: the latter may prevent good healing and cause feelings of burns.
