Tattoos between best friends are a very popular and fun way to show the world your relationship with your close friends. There are dozens of ways to symbolize friendship but nothing beats the matching tattoos between friends, which show everyone that your friendship is made to last forever.
If you and your friend are practically glued to each other, you’ve probably already thought of getting yourself tattooed together. Maybe you both have something special in mind, but you may need some inspiration before you start. Some of the tattoos of friendship are matched while others are made in contrast or represent two parts of a whole. All emphasize that the owners of tattoos are as inseparable as Montaigne and La Boétie.

Although many people want to have matching tattoos with their spouses, there are many more reasons to get tattoos with a friend.

Preparation tips before the tattoo session
Today, it looks like everyone has something tattooed on their bodies. Some of these tattoos are small but others cover a whole limb or even the whole body. But before you join the common tattoo adventure together, there are many things you need to know. To be able to understand what you are going to do, here are some tips that might be helpful:
Look for a good tattoo artist who is part of a recognized organization, so you’ll be sure to be well informed about the best way to acquire a tattoo. Visit a studio where someone you know has been tattooed, so you can be 100% sure he is trustworthy. Also make sure the artist uses disinfected needles to make the tattoo. If you use dirty or non-disinfected needles, you risk catching an infection or diseases. Once you have found the right studio, meet the tattoo artist to talk about the tattoo you want to make.
Go with your best friend, so you can share the experience and its presence will help you calm down. Sometimes it is better to go get a tattoo with someone who has already been there because he can guide you through the process.
You should both go to the tattooist before the session to talk about the drawing. Bring it with you or have it printed. If it’s a clean creation, make a sketch. Do not choose a drawing that you may regret later. Choose something that has personal meaning for each of you or something that looks great.
Wear appropriate clothing. If you wear a dress for your appointment and want to get a tattoo on your lower back, you will need to remove it for the job to be done. You must wear something that allows easy access to the body part you want to tattoo. Always wear loose clothing or old clothes after being tattooed and do not wear socks or closed shoes if you have a tattoo on your foot, as this may irritate the area. A freshly printed tattoo needs to be outdoors to heal properly and have a good look.
You have to find the right place to place your tattoo. Also think of the suffering you will have to endure depending on where you get tattooed. Here is a great way to make sure you have chosen the right place for your tattoo: draw or paste a fake tattoo bought at a toy store on the desired area. If you plan to put your tattoo in a visible place, leave the fake tattoo in place for several days to see if it is a place that suits you.
Estimate of implementation costs and standard prices
The choice of a tattoo between best friends does not only depend on the deep meaning of the drawing: the cost price of these tattoos is also an important factor to take into account. If you want to have a tattoo, you have to ask yourself what is the lambda price of the process. The two methods of calculating the price of an artist are: either the time required to print the tattoo (price per hour of work), or the complexity of your drawing (price set according to each drawing). If the drawing is large, it will take longer to finish than if it is smaller.
The prices of permanent tattoos are quite high, unlike those of temporary tattoos. If you want a great design, get ready, as some are worth more than a thousand euros. A simple pattern costs at least € 50- € 100 per hour of work.
Maintenance tips tattoos of best friends
Once you have chosen your tattoo design and it will be printed on you, know that the aftercare is the most important aspect of the entire process. The period following the session should not be taken lightly. You must know how to take care of your tattoo optimally. Here are some post-tattoo care tips:
- Never, under any circumstances, remove a crust (or dead skin) that forms on a tattoo when it is healing.
- Leave your bandage in place for less than an hour after the session but no more than four or five hours.
- After being tattooed, never go swimming in a lake, pool, pond, river, sea, public baths or baths for at least three weeks.
