There is no lack of directories of tattoo studios and tattoo shops. So it is not difficult to find tattoo studio “per-se. However, it is difficult to say who has a good tattoo artist and equipment.
Once you’ve returned your list of tattoo studios, the next step is to visit them. Before going into a studio, get in your head that you are the customer, and not let anyone or the atmosphere intimidate you. Many tattoo studios is a small, slightly dark and the people inside all sorts of research acharnée tattoos. Go with confidence and look around. If you meet the artists say, leave immediately. Getting a tattoo should be a pleasant event.
Then, a glance around the shop. Akin to our window shopping. Look at the fineness of the stop. It is likely that there will be pictures and Flash (tattoo designs) all over the walls. May it also be price list and regulations. Look for signs that sanitation. This is important in an era of infectious diseases. If you have a good sense, talk to the tattoo artist. Most of them are very useful, especially when they know you have your first tattoo. Note that however, they should not be your source of information for everything. You must have done your research on things before you look for a tattoo artist.
If you convince them that you found a nice artist, do ask to see their portfolio. Do not be impressed by the illustrations. They are usually purchased from other artists who might not even do the work itself tattoo. You need to check the work of your artist. The portfolio is a collection of photographs of the artist’s work. If they do not, beware.
Another way is to watch the final product online. If you’re lucky, you may see a new customer with a new tattoo done. This is the best assessment you can get.
Some people think it is not impolite to ask to see the artist’s work. Rest assure, all good artist will be happy to show you their work. If you are proud of your work, why would you be upset. Remember this is a work of art that is on your body and will last a long time.
When you look at the pictures, check a few things
1) The lines must be clean and well defined?
2) Are the boundaries of uniform?
3) Are the colors vivid and realistic?
4) Are the proportions correct?
If the tattoo artist has passed all these, and most importantly, you feel good about the artist. It is time to move forward with the first work of art.
PS As I mentioned earlier, research before you visit your artist. Get models and choice about what you want. Better yet, if you want a drawing, print it out and show your tattoo. Most people need at least a few hours before choosing the design of this important event.
