How to choose a good tattoo artist: 5 tips from professionals
Tattoos are the oldest and most ancient way of self-expression. However, deciding to get your first tattoo, as well as choosing a tattoo artist, can be difficult. This was reported by SSPDaily.
Daily News Hungary writes about this problem: "There are many talented tattoo artists working in the tattoo industry today. If you want to visit each of them, there will be no room for body art on your skin. And so your task, among this "abundance", is to find the only one who can realize your wildest ideas."
Here are 5 tips from professionals on how to navigate the world of modern body art.
Start by choosing a style
Good tattoo artists are specialists in narrow areas. Such artists work with the themes and styles that are most interesting to them and in which they are truly unsurpassed. Therefore, before looking for such an artist, decide on your own vision.
Study the artist's portfolio
Once you've decided on your style, go ahead and study the tattoo artist's portfolio. Many of them have pages on social media where artists post their work and share useful tips.
There are also groups where you can choose a tattoo artist by style, city, and country. In addition, subscribers leave feedback about the artists.
Consult a local tattoo parlor
If this method doesn't suit you, you can visit a tattoo parlor in your city, where you will be consulted for free and helped to choose a sketch for yourself.
Don't be afraid to ask the tattoo artist questions, because that's why you go to a professional.
Cheap, not always of high quality
As for the cost of the work, everyone decides for themselves. However, remember that cheaper does not always mean better. A true professional respects their work and appreciates the time spent. It is also important to understand that correcting a finished work is more difficult, expensive, and painful.
Work with professionals
If you choose a tattoo artist outside of a parlor, you run the risk of being mistaken about their competence. In this regard, professional tattoo studios are more reliable because their reputation is at stake.
