Though they were fantastic designs to show off but at a personal level of intimacy they fired blanks.And that is where I zeroed down into my wife's name on my forearm. Once I finalized that, the easier part was to find a proper literal to depict her name. Luckily there are umpteen websites which provide such creative art forms. And with little bit of my inner creativity I drew out this particular design. Yes!! Now I could say its something I relate to and I am a big part of. The toughest part was to hide this whole plan from my wife. She knew am a big tattoo buff. But never ever will she agree her name on my hand.

With all this in my mind I walked into
Agaru Tattoos here in Wilmington , Delaware. Ok, the big question is how would you pick a tattoo parlor? Well the simplest answer is
research. A simple search in google will provide you the nearest tattoo centers. Make sure you go through their previous work, awards & recognition's are always better, reviews from previous customers always provide you their line of work. And fire a few questions to the tattoo parlor, their specific answer will help you decide. It definitely helped me.

Agaru responded to my query on design, proposed cost, slot availability etc.

Nov 17th 2012 around 12 noon I walked into Agaru. All in all it was a cherished experience as the Agaru crew helped me get pass the initial jitters and get into the job right away. Filled up some forms and submitted my proof of ID. All set to walk into Tommy's Clinic or Pod as they call it. As you can see from the pics below, its an interesting art form. Tommy even got one of his colleague to take our pictures at regular intervals. To ease my tensions, he kept engaging in some interesting conversations as well.

Your post is a pretty good one. Do you have any tips on how I should prepare myself mentally and physically, before I go to tattoo shops in Denver? I think I'm ready, but I'm still a bit worried about getting a tattoo.
Thanks for the comment.
Mental preparation is the toughest part. I had a tough time convincing me on the design and reaction from my family. So if you have your design finalized, everything should be easy. Physically, nothing much. Its like going to Starbucks, just walk in and get it done.
Congrats Shabbu! By the way, in December 2012, even I have tattooed my wife's name (4'' x 1.5'') on my left forearm. It's a great feeling - for me & my wife!! Cheers!!
