Getting a tattoo on holiday

Of course, you should choose your tattoo artist well in this country. However, if you want to get a tattoo spontaneously on vacation, increased caution is advised. Because the hygienic standards and the strict regulations for the colors are particularly high here in Germany, as well as in France, Spain and the Netherlands. Some ingredients of inks that are not approved here can cause allergic reactions. When you have found a tattoo artist you trust with your motif wish, you should take a close look around the shop to see how clean it is. Make sure that the work surfaces, the floor and the couch or chair on which you will be tattooed are well cleaned. The tattoo artist should not take the needles out of a closed package until just before the tattoo is done. The equipment and everything that the tattoo artist touches during his work should be wrapped in foil.

Consider also: Who works in a resort as a tattoo artist, has constantly changing customers. If in this country a tattoo artist works unclean, it gets around quickly, he gets a bad reputation and loses his customers. But there it is different, because the tattoo artist always has the chance to tattoo new customers. Trust in the choice of your tattoo artist best also not only on the pictures in the shop window, it happens that these come from the Internet.

Ultimately, you're taking an increased risk if you get a tattoo while on vacation. A holiday tattoo can also be a very nice souvenir of a very special time.
