By Aydan Corkern
Tattoos are very artistic and very impressive. When teenagers turn eighteen they can legally get a tattoo without a parent’s consent and many go and get them. Tattoo artist, some believe, are very talented and are great artist but before getting a cool looking tattoo you need to keep in mind safety when getting one because they can be dangerous to get. After picking out the tattoo design you want and where you want it to be placed you need to find the right tattoo shop for you. Do not be so eager to get it done right away at the first place you see. Make sure you look around and look at a few stores.
Another thing is if you have friends who have gotten tattoos are know anyone that has one, ask them where they got theirs done. By asking people you know you can get a few places that you may feel comfortable going to. When you go looking for the right place to get your tattoo done look for a few things.
First of all make sure the shop looks clean and safe. If you walk in and do not feel good about the place then go with that feeling and just walk right back outside. Look at some other places. If you are not sure what a clean tattoo shop looks like look for things like latex gloves, sterile disposable clothes, antibacterial hand wash, and most importantly sterile disposable needles. If you want to you can also ask the people working their on how they go about giving tattoos to see if they are clean and safe about giving tattoos.
Once you find the perfect tattoo shop for you, you should make sure to ask your tattoo artist a few questions before letting them give you your tattoo. Ask questions like if they have a tattoo license, do they follow Universal Precautions for blood disposal, do they disinfect their work areas after each client, does the artist wash his or her hands before and after each client, and does this shop tattoo kids your age and what papers should be signed? There a lot of questions to ask and things to make sure of before getting your tattoo but once you have done it all you will be happy you did because you will not have to worry about an infectious tattoo that could be dangerous to your health.

Choosing Caterers For Your Event
By jarm69
A traditional method of checking a caterer out is to ask for references. You are quite entitled to do this, and if your caterer objects, then strike him off your list. Once you have a reference, its no good just putting it to one side, contact the named referee and ask for details of work carried out for them by your prospective caterer. Its work asking at this point just what sort of events have been catered for, there is little point in appointing a catering company who specialise in small dinner parties for a couple of dozen people if you are trying to feed 2000 delegates at a major conference.
Once you have whittled your list down to a select few, the next item on your agenda should be health and hygiene. A company may be able to provide the most mouth watering menu imaginable, but if their hygiene is suspect it can still ruin both your event and your reputation, not to mention losing a valuable client.
It is a requirement of most local authorities that catering staff should all hold at the very least a basic or level 2 hygiene certificate. Again any reputable company should be more than willing to furnish you with copies of these certificates for all of their staff. The company itself should have been checked out by their local health department and records of this inspection should be available. Many councils are part of the scores on doors scheme, whereby each catering business is inspected and graded from 0 to 5 stars (some councils use a similar scheme which have unsatisfactory, satisfactory and excellent rather than stars). An initial impression may be that 4 stars (or satisfactory) is quite good. He fact is that you can score 4 stars and have upto 3 failings with your hygiene procedures, so anything less than 5 or excellent indicates a company that is less than fully hygienic.
When there is a vast choice of 5 star caterers to choose from why settle for sub standard operators?
Once you have selected a caterer you are comfortable with its time to choose a menu. This has to be a balance between what your clients would like, and what your caterer can realistically provide. Don’t forget that serving 2000 guests simultaneously isn’t as easy as providing meals for a family of 4 on a Sunday lunchtime.
Its worth involving your client with menu selection, as ultimately they are the people you are trying to please. If you are planning a conference for Asian or Caribbean delegates, they may not appreciate pie and peas all round.
You should also have something in place for those delegates who for religious or other reasons cannot eat you main choice, the most obvious are vegetarians, but you may have gluten intolerant guests or people who have trouble with lactose products. Also some food items such as seafood or peanuts can have severe consequences for people with allergies.
You would be as well taking heed of your caterers comments at this point, he/she will know what can and cannot be done in the timescale you have, and demanding totally unrealistic service will leave your caterer stressed out and you with a client unimpressed with the final result.
A little forward planning and common sense can result in a successful event that does wonders for your reputation, and leaves you with a highly delighted client.
