5 Tips for Choosing Your First Tattoo

Getting your first tattoo is an important decision. At Owink Studio in Metz, we guide clients through this adventure every day. Here are our best tips.

1. Take Your Time

Don't rush. A tattoo is permanent, so make sure you really love the design. Wait at least a few months after having the idea to be certain of your choice.

2. Choose a Strategic Placement

For a first tattoo, opt for a less sensitive area like the forearm, shoulder, or calf. Avoid very painful areas like the ribs or feet.

3. Start Small

A small tattoo allows you to test your pain tolerance and see how your skin reacts. You can always expand or add more tattoos later.

4. Trust a Professional

Choose a reputable studio with experienced artists. At Owink, all our tattoo artists are certified and follow the strictest hygiene standards.

5. Prepare Properly

• Sleep well the night before
• Eat before your appointment
• Hydrate your skin
• Avoid alcohol 24h before
