How to choose your tattoo artist

  1. Match the artist's demonstrated style to your design before focusing on distance. Fine-line, botanical, freehand and colour work require different approaches.
  2. Ask whether the studio is taking walk-ins or requires an appointment. A walk-in-friendly shop may still have no capacity when you arrive.
  3. Send the studio your idea, approximate size, placement and reference images so the artist can explain the consultation and design process clearly.
  4. If English communication matters, confirm it when contacting the studio and make sure you understand the design, consent and aftercare instructions.
  5. For a first tattoo, ask about the expected session, preparation and aftercare. For a refresh, share clear photographs of the existing piece before visiting.
  6. Check the address and current opening information before travelling, particularly when you need a weekday, Saturday or next-day appointment.
