Make sure and research your tattoo beforehand. Too many people have a general idea of what they want but never research the specific piece of art until they walk into their local tattoo parlor. By the time your inthe shop you feel committed to settle for the art that the local artist has to offer. By researching the exact tattoo you want beforehand you walk in with exactly the artwork you will be happy with for years to come.
Check out other people’s tattoo that are similar to the one you want. Have you ever got a new tat and been so happy with it only to see one later you liked better. Maybe it’s just a few subtle differences or color combinations. Or maybe it’s a whole twist on your idea you hadn’t thought of. Being able to research and compare your ideas to other people’s will help you make sure you get the art you really want. Nothing is worse than seeing someone with the same tattoo as you have or even worse one you like better!
Last but certainly not least make sure and check out other work you local artist has done. When you go into a shop the artist is only going to display their best work. Well what if that only equals a small percentage of their overall work? What if the majority of their work is sub standard? Also some artists are great at certain types of tattoos like lettering but not so strong when it comes to portraits or people.
