So a few weeks back we started talking about how to get the best

Week we’re going to look at how to prepare
yourself for a consultation or query about your ideas for a tattoo.

So you have an idea for a tattoo. You know basically what you
want and where you want to put it, but you’re not 100% certain on the details.
You can see it in your mind, but you don’t know how to explain it. Gather
REFERENCES. Look for images on the internet that are similar to what you were
thinking of, check out Instagram, Pinterest can be a great resource for ideas
too! Google is everyones best friend, the internet is useful, make use of it.
These references can be taken into the studio or even emailed along with
a general description of your idea and the size placement and colour choices.
This is usually enough information for us to be able to supply you with a quote
and an idea of when the piece can be done. If either of us think it is a design
that should be discussed in person to clarify details, then we book a free
consultation and meet up in the studio so we can shake-hands and talk-tatties.

If you see an artist who you think does great work, request them!
But put some thought into your choices, if you see someone who does great work
but the work that you want is not similar
to what they generally produce, maybe
they aren't suitable for that work. Or maybe there are other tattoos you could get with that
artist so you can still wear their work. The more the merrier.
