First you decided where you want to get it done. Check out your tattoo artists credentials (usually a portfolio book of previous tattoos that he or she has done) Sit down with them... tell them what you want... draw up a few ideas and get a price estimate. Make an appointment to go and get your ink... some places require a deposit in case you chicken out. On the day of getting your tattoo... your artist will clean the area where you will be getting your ink.... shave away any hair... draw or use a transfer stencil of your design on your body and then they will begin your tattoo. Make sure to tip your tattoo artist as well!

∙ 11y agoI had my first one nearly 2 weeks ago and the stages were:
-check out the tattoo parlour
-book my tattoo and give them the design so they can make a stencil
-on the day make sure you eat and take a drink
-skin is cleaned and stencil is put on so you can make sure your happy with the design and placement (make sure you say if your not happy)
-skin is cleaned again and the artist will begin tattooing the whole outline
-once the outline is done they will change needles and so the colouring and other bits ue shading
-when the tattoo is done you will be told to have a look then depending on the artist they will put ointment on it and wrap it with plastic wrap
-keep that on for an hour or so then remove and wash gently with warm soapy water
-apply ointment 3-4 times a day and for the first 2 nights depending how much ink in the tattoo sleep with clingfilm over it as it will leak gooey stuff
-take quick showers no baths 2 weeks
-no sunlight 2 weeks
-no picking or scratching or rubbing
-after a few days the tattoo with start to peel a lot, just let it but don't try to help it
-once the peeling is complete you can stop using ointment and move onto an unscented moisturiser
-it varies but some people them get scabbing, this is normal just let them fall off on their own
-usually after 2 weeks the tattoo will have healed enough to continue usual day to day life but base this on whether you have scabbing and if not whether you can feel the tattoo when you run your fingers across it.
hope that was detailed enough haha

How do you help a migrating belly button piercing?
Take the jewellery out of the piercing and call it a day. The piercing will continue to migrate and will eventually drop the piercing altogether. Removing the jewellery now will allow your body to maintain the tissue and prevent the formation of scar tissue. After a few weeks you could go and talk to your local professional body piercing about having the piercing redone deeper behind the migrating piercing.
