I've always toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo, but now that I've lost 49 pounds and have lost the flab on my arms where I would want a tattoo (somewhere on the forearm or somewhere on my biceps), it's actually becoming a very real possibility for me to do. My issues are this:

What lettering looks good and legible on skin as a tattoo? Being a mostly literary person, I have zero interest in tattoo art.
What all do I need to know about the entire process? That is a serious question, I promise.
I should just wait? My employer, Pizza Hut, does not allow visible tattoos, so in all likelihood to avoid conflict (and I don't want to work there forever) I will most likely just wait until the day I get to put my welding degree to use and quit Pizza Hut before I actually get it.

Don't know if I'm too late and there's lots of good advice here, but I'll tell you something I found out the hard way: Always, always, always eat before getting a tattoo. And make sure you're well hydrated. I'm always light-headed as fuck after I get inked, and immediately after I got my first one, I almost passed out. So, make sure your stomach is full! And bring a granola bar, just in case.
