I wrote a guide on tattoos, now for a guide on piercings. Tattoos along with piercings are a great way to express oneself. Many people are into body modification, and to most it is a form of art. I myself have several piercings: my eyebrow, my nose, and my lip. So trust me, I know what I am talking about when it comes to piercings. I have written this guide to help you out since I have done all of this first hand. So here are some step-by-step instructions on how to get a piercing.



1. You need to choose where you are going to place your piercing. Make sure that it is in a place that is going to suit you, and also a place where it won’t interfere with your workplace if you work. But then again, you can always get a clear retainer to minimize the sight of your piercing so you won’t have to take out your piercing.
A retainer is a clear piece of body jewellry that you replace your metal jewellry with so that the hole won’t close, while making the piercing virtually invisible. (I personally used retainers when I was working at a very professional clothing store where they were quite strict on piercings.)

2. Find a good piercing/tattoo parlor. Always be sure to go to a professional to get your piercings. Also make sure that all needles and jewellry are sterilized.. Watch the piercer do this! Make sure that your piercer is wearing gloves. You can get HIV or other infections from unsterilized needles and jewellry. You do not want this to happen! Watch carefully. Do not be afraid to speak up if something is not right. Also, pick the correct type of jewellry incase you are allergic to metals of any kind. (I can only use stainless steel jewellry for that reason.)

3. Check the environment. Does it look clean? Do you feel safe? Are you seconding guessing anything? These are questions to ask yourself. You can always back out of a piercing if you don’t feel right. Or you can go to another parlor if the current parlor is doesn’t “feel right”.

4. After you get pierced, make sure that your piercer gives you specific aftercare instructions. Do whatever they tell you to do, and don’t divert from it. Do it for the recommended time so that your piercing will heal properly.

5. Try not to touch, rub, or hit your piercing. If you touch your piercing, bacteria from your hands might get into your piercing and infect it. Rubbing and hitting your fresh piercing can cause irritation and possibly infection.

So there are 5 simple steps to follow. Choose where you are going to get pierced on your body. Find a professional parlor. Make sure everything is sterilized. Make sure you feel safe. Take proper aftercare of your piercing with the instructions given to you. Don’t touch, hit or rub your piercing so it does not get irritated or infected. Easy as pie! Good luck on your piercing!

I decided to write this article after a friend of mine kept pestering me for some dragonfly tattoo ideas. I’m not really a creative person and utterly sick of her incessant badgering, I suggested that she pick the brain of a tattoo artist instead. I mean, what better way to get a bunch of cool design ideas then from the pros who ply their trade passionately every single day, right? Well, it turns out that there’s an equally better way of acquiring breathtaking design ideas but I’ll talk about that in a bit.

Anyway, my friend and I decided to pay a visit to one of our favorite tattoo shops and see what sort of ideas that the resident artist can come up with. As usual, the artist didn’t disappoint and we were completely awed as he eloquently sketched out a few gorgeous dragonfly tattoo ideas on a piece of paper. Here are some of his sketches that got stuck in my memory:

A big circle in the shape of two dragonflies facing each other – Both dragonflies was rendered in contrasting colors with their wings intertwined. I thought it was a pretty remarkable design (albeit in roughed out sketch) and would’ve looked really awesome if the final product were place on either the breast plate or smack right on the shoulder (mid deltoid).

A cute little fairy reaching for a dragonfly – The artist roughed out some sketches of a baby fairy chasing after a dragonfly in various comic-book style angles. I think this a very cool fantasy piece and both creatures seemed to gel very well together.

Dragonfly perching on a flower – One of the most popular dragonfly tattoo ideas and has been done pretty much to death. Suffice to say; if I got paid a dollar for every dragonfly with flower tattoo that I’ve noticed over the years, I would’ve been a tycoon with a chain of tattoo studios under my belt. Nevertheless, it is still a time-tested design and the artist did a wonderful job of rendering both, the flower and dragonfly in a very stylistic approach with the latter’s wingspan motif being the standout element of the entire creation. We also discovered that it is best not to complicate the dragonfly’s wings by adding wordings on them as it’ll make the whole design look extremely hokey.

Photorealistic dragonfly tattoo – Want a truly realistic looking dragonfly tattoo? Make sure you get yourself a reputable artist to handle the work. Since this type of design is highly intricate in nature, the size of the tattoo has to be reasonable big in order to accommodate all the details. Opting for a tattoo that is small but loaded with intricate designs is a big mistake as the lines will eventually thicken after several years, and you might just wind up with an ugly blot of ink permanently stamped on your body.

Tribal dragonfly tattoo – Not a good idea! According to the artist, this is one the lamest dragonfly tattoo ideas. I fully agree with him as Tribal tattoos are so common nowadays, hence they must be avoided if you’re keen on having a tattoo that oozes originality. Oh, I did say that there’s an equally better way of finding unique and gorgeous tattoo creations right? Here’s a tip: You can find them in reputable online tattoo galleries. That’s right; you don’t even have to leave the house In order to find tons of great dragonfly tattoo ideas! Wish I learned about them earlier. My friend would have quit harassing me!

Don’t know where to search for Dragonfly tattoo ideas ? No worries, I’ve set up a site where I reviewed 4 online tattoo galleries. What’s good about them or what makes them crappy are detailed accordingly. I held nothing back, so feel free to check it out at Awesome Tattoo Creations!

It will take too much effort to be able to find an excellent tattoo design. It is time consuming to search from free websites again and again. A lot of these free sites have similar designs. The worst you can do is to settle for a design that you don’t really like but choose to have it because you are already fed up in searching for the right one. This should never be the case because remember, tattoos are permanently inked to your body.

Good news for people who are getting exhausted already from searching about different kinds of tattoo designs and cannot simply get the perfect one. Seeking for a marvelous tattoo style is effortless with the assistance of a tattoo finder. It’s a tool that will definitely assist you in catching a high quality tattoo design.

Usually, you will be required to pay a small fee to access these tattoo finders. It will be a good idea and time saving too if you will have access to several designs in a single location. You may also be able to search for a tattoo finder that is free of charge, but you will have to pay for the individual design and stencils. Now, all you will need to do is take the stencil design to your tattoo artist and he will do the rest.

Definitely, tattoos are all about uniqueness. Try to modify the design into something that will have association with you. The tattoo artist will also play an important part in helping you modify the design to make it unique. They are very good in their craft so you have to talk with them.
