Ask friends and relatives with tattoos for the name of the artist who did the art you particularly enjoy, or for recommendations in general. Even complete strangers are often happy to talk about their ink. Visit local tattoo parlors to check out catalogs of their artists' previous work. You can often find their portfolios online as well, curated on blogs or Instagram accounts dedicated to a particular type of tattoo work. The best tattoo artists generally attend these conventions. You can have work done here, or just use the opportunity to browse. If a deal seems too good to be true, it is. A cheap artist is almost always a bad one. In the United States, you can expect a decent artist to charge between $50 and $300 per hour, depending on skill level.

Often dropping “off the grid” is romanticized and made to sound more fun and viable than it actually is. If you're dissatisfied with society, capitalism, or social relationships, there may be ways to change your environment other than dropping out of society.   If a life problem or struggle is making you want to drop out of society, get help in some other way first. Just moving to another city might provide the change in environment that you need to be happy. If your job is unfulfilling or meaningless, consider quitting and trying to find more fulfilling work before you drop out of society. If you'd like to spend more time in nature, you don't necessarily need to drop out of society. If you can take time off from your job, take a month and go backpacking and hiking, and see if that resolves your need to be away from civilization for a time. Before you quit your job and pack up to live in the woods for good, do it for a trial period. This will give you time and experience to evaluate if this is really the right decision.  For example, if you'd like to drop out of society and live in the woods, find a place where you can legally live for a season, such as the North Maine Woods.  Take supplies with you: fishing and camping supplies, dried food, and a canoe. Try to live as if you had retreated from society, with as little interpersonal contact as you desire. If you're living in a remote area without a job or income, you'll soon run out of money. You'll need to sustain yourself off the land, and what you can hunt, grow, and build yourself. This lifestyle is off-putting to many people, due to the difficulty of having to provide everything for yourself. Alternately, you may be able to generate a small income even while living off the grid. For example, you could find ways to profit through selling meat, vegetables, and canned goods.

. John 15:7, If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Notice, "what you will" should be in His pleasure for you. Sin is disobedience and separates us from Him (out of His pleasure). The Holy Spirit will not dwell in an unclean temple; therefore you must repent often, be saved once and remain yielded to the will and the grace of God. Whatever you plant into the lives of others, grows in your own life, i.e. You reap what you sow. God obviously knows every aspect of your life (lying won't help), and He knows your struggles and sins. He knows how you feel. He loves and cares for you without limit. Since, He is love and mercy, He doesn't unfairly favor anyone because He created and seeks to heal and save all of us if we have faith and follow in God's will.   Jesus said, "When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matthew 6:5-6). Jesus also said, When you pray, do not keep on babbling like Pharisees, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him" (Matthew 6:7-8).  Pray with right motives, not self-serving. Let your thoughts be of good reasons, and when you pray, ask yourself whether it is going to bring glory to God or not (James 5:3) Study to show yourself approved, unto God, and to know the mind of God and His will from His written word. Confirm God's will in prayer, for God is not mocked as whatever a man plants into other lives and hearts, he will also harvest. Ask for help before making a rash decision. Don't ask pointlessly, but ask Jesus when you need help, guidance or mercy -- and ask for God's will to be in your heart, in your core being. Sometimes God wants us to persist in prayer. Ephesians 6:13-14 says, "and having done all, to stand."
