What's the Best Time of Year to Get a Tattoo?

Question: What's the Best Time of Year to Get a Tattoo?
Answer: Although you can get a tattoo any time of the year, your skin gets a lot more abuse during the summer with swimming, tanning and just being exposed to the elements more. Fall and winter are really the best seasons to get a tattoo. For more details, see 'Tis the Season to be Tattooed.
