First love and the first tattoo have some similarities. Love etched into someone’s heart while tattoo inked onto the skin. Both will remember for the rest of the day. It can be the sweetest thing or the weirdest thing. However, the only difference between first love and the first tattoo is, in love, you can’t choose who you fall for. But a tattoo is always your own decision. So, if you are planning to fall in love with your first tattoo, check out some first tattoo ideas.
If you come up with a meaningless tattoo design, the meaning to it will come later on for sure.

For the first-time tattoo, you have to decide whether your first tattoo should be a meaningful design or a cute design. Nicoletta’s idea about that is usually on the first tattoo. It’s more common to get a meaningful tattoo instead of a pretty design. Something for themselves or to be done together with friends or family. But this trend is changing fast, and Nicoletta has tattooed many people for the first one with something they like because they like her work. She also thanked this kind of tattoo article because people nowadays are more informed and well known about the tattoo industry because of these articles on the internet.

Nicoletta also confirmed our assumptions about the designs people often choose as their first ink. It is usually a “little sign or quote”, not the name of an ex-lover on your chest or half of the body covered with a dragon. Nothing that requires a considerable commitment, but rather some cherished memorabilia or everyday inspiration.

#9 Bluebirds

As a professional tattoo artist, Nicoletta normally refuses to ink something that is directly downloaded from the internet. Because those arts belong to another artist. But if fell in love with a design on the internet, Nicoletta advises you to modify those arts and make them custom and unique. She refuses to ink something even remotely suggestive or related to disrespectful ideologies.
