So, you’re finally getting your first-ever tattoo—congratulations! Here comes the fun part: Choosing the design. While you might immediately already have one in mind, it can sometimes be overwhelming choosing what to get inked on you—especially given the knowledge that it will be on you forever.
If you’re still wondering what design to go for, we suggest going the minimalist route. Not only will it look timeless, but it will also hurt less, given that they’re usually composed of linework with little to no shading.
