When to get a tattoo or NOT!

This is inspired by some of the things we run into here-

DO NOT get a tattoo if you are on acne medication or any skin medication.
DO NOT get a tattoo if you are on antibiotics.
DO NOT get a tattoo if your friend is going to pay for it. In most cases when you are getting
"hooked up" it could end up not being great!
DO NOT get a tattoo if you are pregnant or breast feeding. This is for obvious reasons. Why would you put yourself through pain when your pregnant?!
DO NOT get a tattoo if you are under 18. It's the law.
DO NOT get a tattoo if you are going camping right after.
DO NOT get a tattoo if you really don't want one.
DO NOT get a tattoo if everyone else does, so you think you should too.
DO NOT get a tattoo if the artist says it's not a good idea.
DO NOT get a tattoo if it's in a garage or kitchen!
DO NOT get a tattoo on a empty stomach.
DO NOT get a tattoo if your drunk.



DO get a tattoo if you love the art and can live with the special characteristics tattoos have.
DO get a tattoo if you have saved some money really like someones' style.
DO get a tattoo if you are not afraid of the pain.
DO get a tattoo if you have checked out portfolios and you know the artist is badass!

There ended up being a lot do not's!
