Perfect Tattoo Ideas For Excited New Dads
Tattoo Ideas For Excited New Dads – Are you a new dad that wants to celebrate your child’s birth with a gorgeous tattoo? There are many great ideas from which you can choose, so make sure to carefully examine each of these before deciding. These are just a small sample of the possible styles, so don’t be afraid to get imaginative!
Baby Name
The simplest tattoo you can get to celebrate your new baby is their name tattooed on your body. For example, their name across your lower arm can showcase your love and excitement for their birth. You can also integrate images of them on the tattoo to make it more personal and memorable.
Symbolic Item
Have you and your wife already chosen items that are meaningful and which represent aspects of your baby’s life? You could always get these tattooed on your body in a way that will make them impossible to forget. For example, a rendering of your baby’s favorite teddy bear on your upper arm will always remind of when they were young and so precious.
Potential Life Of The Baby
All fathers have a basic idea of what they would like their child to do with their life. Success in a specific field is something you can celebrate with a large back tattoo. Create a basic timeline of your baby’s life, including images of them at various points of their life.
While this tattoo is likely to be inaccurate later on in their life, it can showcase to your child what kind of success you expected from them. This can increase their self-esteem and drive them to succeed in ways that will make you proud.

Handwriting tattoos: what you need to know
Handwriting tattoos: what you need to know. These handwriting tattoos can be beautiful, classy and versatile. This tattoo style is becoming increasingly popular among individuals wanting a permanent reminder of someone important to them or a tribute to a loved one.
Most tattoo artists will be able to scan handwritten text and replicate it exactly on the skin. However, there are a few tips to keep in mind when considering this tattoo style.
1. Size matters. Tattoo lines will expand slightly as the ink settles into the deeper layers of the skin. If the letters in your handwriting sample are written in cursive or are close together, they may bleed into one another if the tattoo is too small. If you are concerned about the potential of bleeding, talk with your tattoo artist about enlarging the handwriting sample.
2. Choose your audience. Script and handwriting tattoos are meant to be read—but by whom? Consider whether you want this tattoo to be a personal message to yourself or a message to the world. This will help you determine tattoo placement. Remember—the script will look backwards in the mirror.
3. Be specific. When attempting to recreate your handwriting or the handwriting of someone you love, it’s important to get it right. Be clear about what you want and ask your tattoo artist for advice about the size, placement and style that will best preserve the text exactly as it was written.
If you are interested in a handwriting or other type of tattoo, contact us to schedule an appointment or to get more information about the services we offer. To learn more about the Skin Factory Tattoo brand click on your local tattoo shop.

Tattoos that will never go out of style
Tattoos that will never go out of style. The world of tattoo art is constantly evolving and bringing with it many new styles and concepts to choose from. While some of these styles remain popular, many have become nothing more than forgotten trends. If you’re looking for a tattoo design that will stand the test of time you just need to look at the classics. Here are four tattoos that will never go out of style:
Roses
Roses have a long history in the world of tattoo art and are commonly used to represent beauty or love. This tattoo can come in many forms including traditional, dotwork, new school, and Japanese. Whether large or small, gray-scale or full color, a rose tattoo will never go out of style.
Nautical
Nothing says classic old school style like a nautical themed tattoo. This category includes nautical stars, ships, undersea creatures, and anything related to sailing or the ocean. This style, made popular by sailors in the early twentieth century, remains one of the most popular styles of tattoo today.
Military
For hundreds of years warriors have used tattoos as marks of courage, victory, and rank so it’s no surprise that today tattoos have become commonplace for both active and retired members of our military. Service members use tattoos to represent their branch, unit, and deployments. Today military tattoos are more popular than ever and for a current or former service member it’s a great option that will always stay relevant.
Pin up
Pin up culture and tattoos go hand in hand. This style of tattoo was common during the first and second world wars. Pin up photographs were popular at this time and many service members wanted a permanent reminder of what they were fighting for and what they wanted to come home to. While pin up tattoos have been around since the 1930’s, they have become increasingly popular in the last few years.

Size Doesn’t Matter: Why You Should Consider a Small Tattoo
Small Tattoo – There are literally millions of different tattoos and so many popular tattoo trends posted on Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. In a world where possibilities are endless, it’s hard to choose which tattoo is right for you. If you’re planning to get inked for the first time, or you simply don’t want something too big, then the “tiny tattoo trend” might be perfect for you.
Great for Your First
Thinking about getting your first tattoo probably makes you both excited and a little nervous. That’s perfectly normal. It’s a big step. It’s smart to ease yourself in. You don’t have to go big or be dramatic with your first. In fact, consider going extremely small. Tiny tattoos have increased in popularity because they’re cheaper, less painful, and they don’t cover too much skin. It’s the perfect scenario for someone who’s never gone through the tattooing experience before. Get your feet wet before diving in.
Small Tattoo in Size, Big in Personality
Just because a tattoo is tiny doesn’t mean it’s not important, beautiful, or special. In fact, tiny tattoos are often very deep in their meaning and represent something very important. A tiny airplane for someone who loves to travel, a band around your finger instead of a wedding ring, a small cross, or a music symbol are examples of small tattoos that carry a lot of meaning.
True Fans
If you’re getting a tattoo that originates from a book or movie that you love, going small tattoo could mean more, as a fan, than getting an entire sleeve. Several Harry Potter fans have shown themselves as true Potterheads by getting tattoos of the three tiny stars that are found on the top of the book pages and small lightning bolts. These tattoos hold significance and will be recognized by true fans. It’s a way to show your support without being overly obvious. And, of course, this method works for more than just Harry Potter.
Say I Love You
Tattoos are a great way to show love. Getting tattoos with a personal message to someone else is a popular trend, but, since it’s permanent, it makes some people nervous. Getting something small, instead of making a physically “big gesture” is a great way to ease your anxiety. If you want to get a tattoo that matches your sisters, or a mother-daughter tattoo that shows your special bond, then think small. Get a tiny heart on your ankle, or tiny matching flowers. If you love your dog and want the world to know you’re a proud puppy parent, get tiny paws prints tattooed on your wrist or ankle. Show your love for your kids by getting a tiny tattoo of their birth date or time. These tattoo designs are filled with lots of love despite their size.
Tiny tattoos aren’t insignificant or meaningless. Size doesn’t matter when it comes to ink. What matters is the reason for the tattoo. So, if you’re nervous about covering too much skin in ink, or you’re getting a tattoo for the first time, consider going small. For more tattoo ideas, or to set up an appointment, please contact us.
Tips to Make Your First Tattoo Experience a Pleasant One (Part Two)
First Tattoo Experience (Part Two) Getting your first tattoo is a complete experience and one that you should enjoy. Yes, it’s ok to be a little nervous, but this is a story you’ll tell and remember for a long time. You should enjoy it despite your nerves and the pain. A great way to do that is to make sure you’re ready, that you’re prepared. Below you’ll find a list of tips to make your first tattoo experience a pleasant one.
Consider Placement
You might want to choose a smaller design or a more discreet area for your first tattoo. Dip your toes in the water instead of cannonballing in. Of course, the choice is yours. But, it’s a big decision and something you’ll have to live with every day so you might want to avoid areas like your hands or neck for your first time. Plus, you’ll want to consider which areas are the most and least painful. It’s always nice to tattoo an area that causes less pain to ease yourself into the tattooing experience.
Don’t be Cheap
Tattoos are expensive for a reason. It takes a lot of time and ink to create these works of art. Plus, it’s a lifetime masterpiece on your skin. Good tattoos won’t come cheap, but they’re worth the money. This isn’t the time to “bargain hunt.” If you do, you’ll likely end up with a “tattoo fail” that will cost you more to remove it than a great tattoo would have cost you in the beginning. So, focus more on what’s really important like the artist’s skill and experience, and the shop’s health standards. Those are far more important than price.
Wear Comfortable Clothes
First Tattoo Experience (Part Two)
The tattoo artist will need access to the area you wish to have tattooed, so make sure you’re not wearing something that makes reaching the area difficult. Plus, depending on the intricacy and size of the tattoo, you might spend several hours sitting in one place, so make sure you wear comfortable clothes. Wearing loose clothes is always beneficial because you won’t wind up putting pressure on your newly tattooed, and sensitive, skin.
If you follow these tips your first tattoo experience will go a lot smoother and you can actually enjoy it. So, take a moment to look over the list and make sure you’re ready. If you are, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would love to be part of your experience.
