Celtic Tatting

Lower back tattoos can be fun, sexy, and unique. But they can also cause harm. (Part 1)

Many good tattoo designs can be found at this website.  Looking is free!

Lower back tattoos must be done by a qualified, licensed tattoo ARTIST who has numerous referrals by people in your community. 

Many tattoo shops open up with some equipment bought on ebay and an instruction book downloaded from the Internet!  You do NOT want to go to this person, no matter how charming they are or how elaborate the flash sample on the wall are.
Some things to look for in the person and shop you're looking for include: clean, fresh smell when you walk in; you pass a 50 year old woman on the way out - who is smiling; pictures of the tattoo artist with local personalities; and referrals from
people whose tattoos you have seen and asked. 

Next, look to see that they are licensed. Yes, in almost every state a tattoo artist must have a LICENSE and must display it on the wall. If you ask for their license, their reaction should be "Right here". If they say, "Why do you want to see it", your answer should be your back as you walk out the door.

It's your skin, my friend, and you are NOT going to get any more of it. Make sure only a true, licensed, skilled, ARTIST puts anything on it.

Trust me, very few people will get offended if you just ask, "Who did your tat?  I like it."  People who get tattoos that can be seen got it...TO BE SEEN!  They are probably watching you to see if you are looking at it.

Find a good artist.  That's step one.  In the next article, I'll go into the next step that you need to follow to make sure your PERMANENT body art is something that you want people to ask about.

I have an ebook that you NEED to know before getting your first - or your next - tattoo.  No obligation. 

Hundreds of flash designs - free to look at - at this site.

Tatting $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Tatting is a technique for handcrafting a particularly durable lace constructed by a series of knots and loops. Tatting can be used to make lace edging as well as doilies, collars, and other decorative pieces. The lace is formed by a pattern of rings and chains formed from a series of cow hitch, or halfhitch knots, called double stitches (ds), over a core thread. Gaps can be left between the stitches to form picots, which are used for practical construction as well as decorative effect.Tatting dates to the early 19th century. The term for tatting in most European languages is derived from French frivolite, which refers to the purely decorative nature of the textiles produced by this technique. The technique was developed to imitate point lace. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
