Thinking long and hard about what you want will make it easier for your tattoo artist to draw up your new piece. Your happiness is important to them, and they want to do a good job! So, getting a really strong concise idea in your mind, and then figuring out what your budget is, as well as what your schedule is like, is all going to make the process so much smoother and more enjoyable.
The best way to know if an artist is good is by looking at their portfolio, doing a little research on the studio they work at and checking out reviews. A good artist will work at a clean studio and create great art.
The length of a tattoo appointment totally depends on the size, placement, and complexity of your design. Small flash tattoos can take less than an hour, while large tattoos or difficult body placements, such as hands or neck, can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours. For tattoos of that nature, it’s best to set aside a whole day just for your tattoo appointment.
