Before you make a decision to do body art, think about it once, and then think about it again. Most body art is considered permanent. Body piercing is the puncturing of the skin by a sharp instrument whereby jewelry is placed through the resulting hole.
Tattoos result from the injection of ink under the skin to make a design or symbol.
When making the decision about body art, ask yourself why you want to do it. At this stage in your life it may be a form of personal expression. What you need to consider is what effect it will have in years to come. Ask to tour the facility. Ask about the equipment.
