Choosing a Tattoo Artist
Choosing a tattoo artist is one of the most important decisions you could make after deciding to get a tattoo. It should be a careful decision; because this is the person you are trusting to make a permanent design on your body. You want someone that gives you a warm feeling rather than a creepy “this guy is a freak” feeling.
There are a lot of other factors to consider when selecting a tattoo artist. Looking for the cheapest seems like the most obvious way to go, but you do get what you pay for. The best way to choose a great tattoo artist is to go buy reputation. Ask around, especially any of your friends that already have tattoos, and they will be able to give you some feedback regarding which tattoo artist did their tattoos and how they were.
One of the best ways to choose a tattoo artist is to shop around. Make a list of tattoo parlors you want to visit and go have a look at their samples. You can generally tell which tattoo artists are any good by the samples that are usually hanging in their shop. If the samples are bad or not drawn as well as you like, check the next shop. You are certain to find one that suits you.
It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to take your time when deciding which artist to let tattoo a design to your body. After all, you don’t want to give that task to just anyone.
