how to get tattoo designs for girls...?
Have you already decided where you want your new tattoo? Let's face it you've got plenty of choice. The average human adult has between 16 and 20 square feet of skin available to decorate. Most of us don't go for tattoos on the face but almost anywhere else seems to be acceptable these days. Of course it may depend to some extent on what you do for a living, you may want to choose somewhere that can be easily covered when you're in the workplace and many women have tattoos on their lower back or abdomen which are easily concealed when necessary. Wrist or arm band tattoos can be concealed by sleeves or watches.

Tattoo Aftercare - How to Take Care of Your New Tattoo
( By Karen L. Hudson)
Now, you have your fresh new tattoo, and you want to take good care of it! From this point on, your artist is not responsible for any infection or problems you may have with your tattoo if you don't take proper care of it. It is very important that you follow these guidelines. A really beautiful tattoo can turn into a disaster if the proper aftercare is not taken.
The only exception to this rule is if your artist covered your tattoo with saran wrap or some kind of plastic. This is extremely detrimental to a tattoo, so it should be removed immediately. You're better off not having any covering than to be suffocating your new tattoo with plastic wrap.
Wash and Treat
After you remove the bandage, you will want to wash your tattoo. Use lukewarm water and mild, liquid antibacterial or antimicrobial soap (Satin and Provon are my highest recommendations. Dial tends to be too harsh - generic brand antibacterial soaps are actually better) to gently wash away any ointment, blood and/or plasma and to completely clean the area. Do not use a washcloth or anything abrasive. Your hand is your best tool in this case. (If your tattoo feels slimy and slippery, you have probably been oozing plasma. Try to gently remove as much of this as possible - when the plasma dries on the skin surface, it creates scabs.)
After that, continue to keep it clean, but you can use lotion when needed instead of ointment, to keep the skin soft. Whatever lotion you use, it should be dye and fragrance free. A lot of artists recommend Lubriderm, but I have found that Lubriderm stings when I apply it. Instead, I have had great success with Eucerin.
