Introduction
Finding the right tattoo artist is a lot like finding your favorite pair of shoes. You want one that’s comfortable and looks good on your body. And just like any pair of shoes, you need to do some research before investing in a new set. We’re here to help you with that process!
First, decide on the type of tattoo you want.
First, decide on the type of tattoo you want. Tattooing can be a very personal experience and there are many different styles out there. The best way to find a good artist is by choosing a style that is meaningful to you and fits your body type.

Do your research.
You should do your research before you get tattooed. You should check out the artist’s portfolio and see if they have any work you like. You can also search reviews on social media, or look for artists whose work you like or who specialize in the type of tattoo you want. If there are several people who have worked with them, consider this a good sign! Then ask to see their sterilization area and equipment before agreeing to get tattooed by them (if necessary).
Once you’ve found an artist you like, it’s important to talk with them before getting tattooed. You don’t want to just agree on a design and walk out of the studio with it. The two of you should discuss the meaning behind your tattoo, how big or small it will be, what colors you want (if any), where on your body it will go, etc.
You should also ask about the artist’s process for sterilizing their equipment and setting up their station. This is important because it can help you avoid infections from dirty needles or other unsafe practices. If your artist won’t show you their sterilization area, walk away!
Find out about the tattoo shop’s policies on touch-ups, repairs, and refunds.
When you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, it’s important to ask about the shop’s policies on touch-ups, repairs, and refunds. It may seem like a small thing but knowing what your options are can save you time in the long run. For example, does the artist offer touch-ups? If so, how often do they give discounts to repeat customers? How many days’ notice do they require before making any changes to a design?
In addition to asking these questions directly with your artist (and if they don’t answer them properly), there are two other ways to find out how well equipped the artist is at handling customer issues:
Get referrals from friends or family members who have tattoos.
When you’re looking for a tattoo artist, it can be helpful to ask your friends and family members what they like about the artists they’ve worked with. They might have good words of advice on how to find the best tattoo artist for you.
The person who referred them may also be able to give an honest opinion on whether or not he was a good fit for his client at that time. If this person is someone close enough in age (and if there’s no sexual tension), asking them about their experience could make all the difference between finding someone who knows what they’re doing and getting stuck with an inexperienced artist who doesn’t know how much pressure should be applied during certain parts of the process.
If possible, try finding referrals from people who have seen both sides of things firsthand: those who have gone through the process themselves as well as those who have had negative experiences with particular artists–this will give both sides some objectivity when discussing which ones are worth considering further down your list (if any).
Researching ahead of time is a great way to ensure your tattoo artist is reputable.
Before you leave for your appointment, it’s important to do some research. The best way of finding out about the reputation and policies of your tattoo artist is by reading reviews online. You can also find out about their pricing and any additional services they offer as well. If you want examples of their work, check out portfolios or ask them if they have one on file at their studio. Lastly, look into how often they sterilize equipment (for example needles) and the sterilization area itself!
If you’re still unsure about whether or not the studio is good, ask to see some of their work. It will give you an idea of what to expect when it comes time for your appointment.
