Want Elite Ink? First Improve Your Tattoo IQ

CENTERLINE, Mich. - Dec. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- With nearly 35% of Americans having a tattoo it may be a good time to shed light on the intelligence spectrum of permanent applications.  The manner in which the tattoo is perceived says a great deal about the tattoo collector.  In fact you can judge a book by its cover when it comes to tattooing.  There is a distinct correlation between educated consumers and upper echelon work vs. uneducated consumers and sub par shoddy tattoos.

Having a professional tattoo applied is important for those who seek safety and creativeity in a controlled environment.  Keep in mind that each tattoo artist has his/her strengths and limitations.  As a consumer it is important to always perform due dilligence. Outstanding work is very important to those who seek to reap the benefits from upper echelon tattoos. Becoming knowledgeable about art and design is a great way to start. Next know what part of the body is to be dedicated for the tattoo to be applied.  Then formulate a plan for symbolic content to develop the tattoo.  Compile a list of ideas and reference material.  This approach is usually all that is needed for an Elite Ink tattoo artist to take the ball and run with it.

Too often those with lower tattoo IQ's seem to think that the favorable tattooist is the one with cheap prices or the untrained beginner.  Instead of zeroing in on quality one too often focuses on price.  It is a good rule of thumb to know that when it comes to tattooing you always get what you pay for.  More importantly a cheap tattoo is not good and good tattoos are not cheap.  It is unfortunate that there is a segment of society that prefer these type of tattoos.  Fortunately this type of ignorance may be slowing because the advancements in technology  allow tattooees to compare tattoo notes more often.  Just keep in mind if your permanent tattoo is subpar than you will be looked at as having a lower tattoo IQ.  Afterall the person having the tattoo applied is 1/2 responsible for the outcome.


All in all those with a lower tattoo IQ can improve their tattoos through educaton, restorations, enhancements, cover-ups, and removals.  Always seek the absolute best studio for the project. Know the background of your tattooist.  Seek only those who are absolutely desirous and capable of performing amazing skin illustrations. Higher tattoo IQ applications typically cost more, but it is well worth it in the end.  These type of clients typically look at their tattoos as being lifetime investments.  The residuals may be returned for years to come because upper-end tattoos are tattoos to be proud of.  The value that these type of tattoos add to a persons well being is priceless.  In order to fully experience this best case scenario it is necessary that the client has an appreciation for art and design. Afterall there is a degree of talent and intelligence that goes into each and every magnificent tattoo.
