With a mermaid tattoo, as with any, you must be careful about many things: sanitation, the skill of the artist, your real desire for a tattoo...
... remember, one-third of all people who get tattoos regret having them.

They are permanent. In a conspicuous place they can also be embarrassing. Some of the questions you should ask yourself are: will I still want this tattoo five, ten or 20 years from now?
It is a good idea to "test drive" the tattoo experience with a temporary tattoo.
Tattoo removal is possible. There are two basic methods: laser and surgical. The laser method is expensive, time-consuming and painful. The surgical is expensive, time-consuming, painful and leaves an ugly scar. Also, no medical plan will pay for tattoo removal. If this causes you to think twice about getting a tattoo you are in the right frame of mind.

After all is said and done, if you find you still want a tattoo it is important to chose one you will love. Remember, you will have it for a very long time. You should research what type of tattoo you want and look at as many designs as possible.
I received a sweet email from a girl named Keri about tattoos and mermaids that I would like to share with you:
Ever since I was a child I have loved mermaids. Disney's "The Little Mermaid" was the first movie I ever watched, the stepping stone for my passion with the beautiful fish-tailed creatures.

Keri has a great mermaid tattoo, don't you think?
