| The Perfect Tattoo |
What ingredients make a good tattoo?
Good equipment, clean hygienic surroundings, a
skilled and experienced practitioner, and last but
absolutely not least, a relaxed, sensible,
imaginative and patient client. At The Fizz
Factory we are happy that we can satisfy all of
the above criteria and more. All we need is the
aforementioned client. If this is you we look
forward to meeting you soon. If for some reason
you cannot make it to my studio
please make sure that your
choice is a good one. There are good places out
there but sadly also extremly bad ones.

| The Million dollar question |
The million dollar question is does it hurt?
Yep it sure does! Varying from a mild irritation
to a sharp smarting (but still bearable)
sensation, but just look around, if it was so bad
would we all have so many? And in 80% of cases
return for more !
Dereck's advice is
Be sure you enter the studio in a relaxed state of
mind - don't come in after a night on the tiles.
Be sure to eat a little a few hours before your
appointment. Don't bring a friend to accompany you
inevitably this will add to your stress and will
annoy or distract the artist.

| Which one to Try Out? |
Should I have a small one first to try it out?
This is sadly the choice of most people when they
enter the world of tattoo, the majority who take
this path normally later regret it and want to
enlarge or cover with a bigger piece than their
first choice.
Dereck's advice is
Try to think deeply what your plan is going to be
eventually, maybe make a choice of design which
can easily be added to or carried on to cover a
larger area. It is a fact that larger pieces of
work tend to weather the test of time better than
small works. Don't be led into believing that lots
of intricate lined details are good, if you look
at the majority of 20 year old tattoos you will
see that this is in fact the opposite. The famous
Japanese skins are a testament to this as they
still look good and clear even after the death of
the wearer. Don't make the mistake of thinking a
sleeve is made by joining little tattoos together,
this is only the case if you have made the wrong
decision in the first place, start as you mean to
end.
