Tattoos & Ingrown Hairs

I want to put something over the heart area on the chest but shaving there causes the most terrible ingrown hairs/bumps imaginable. The last time I made the mistake of shaving it I had bumps and irritation that lasted for several months. I'm just wondering if I could simply trim it as close as possible with a trimmer and would they be able to ink me that way...without it being smoothly shaven?

I don't think you can just trim and it be okay. But there's several things you could try instead...
You could get your chest waxed like a day or two before you get tattooed.
or
Try this stuff called Tend Skin, it's about $20 a bottle and you buy it from a spa but it really works. The only thing is you could put it on at home if you shave your chest yourself but I don't think it'd be a good idea to put it on the area you get inked afterwards.
I'd say just go get waxed.
