The last thing you want to do is slap some generic permanent artwork onto your body. Picking an artist should be a careful decision. And there are a few things you should do to choose the right person for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/tattoo\/how-to-pick-a-tattoo-parlor-for-your-first-tattoo\/#take-it-slow\" >Take it slow<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/tattoo\/how-to-pick-a-tattoo-parlor-for-your-first-tattoo\/#have-a-design-in-mind\" >Have a design in mind<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/tattoo\/how-to-pick-a-tattoo-parlor-for-your-first-tattoo\/#research-research-research\" >Research, research, research<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/tattoo\/how-to-pick-a-tattoo-parlor-for-your-first-tattoo\/#plan-a-visit-or-several\" >Plan a visit (or several)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/tattoo\/how-to-pick-a-tattoo-parlor-for-your-first-tattoo\/#go-for-it\" >Go for it<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"take-it-slow\"><\/span>Take it slow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When inspiration strikes, it\u2019s easy to get caught up in the excitement of&nbsp;having a piece&nbsp;done. However, it\u2019s no secret that this ink is permanent. So it\u2019s all the more reason to give yourself time to explore all your options of different tattoo artists and studios. This is probably what you should spend the most time on before sitting in their chair.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062721\/tattoo1.jpg\" alt=\"explore all your options of different tattoo artists\" class=\"wp-image-42752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062721\/tattoo1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062721\/tattoo1-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/uOiBroKlBsb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"have-a-design-in-mind\"><\/span>Have a design in mind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin searching \u201ctattoo parlors near me,\u201d&nbsp; have some sort of design in mind. Artists are great at bringing design ideas to life, but without direction, they may design something far from your concept. Do the prep work before scheduling your consult. You\u2019ll be able to make the most of your first meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also a good idea to think about the placement of future tattoos. For a design with lots of details and small intricacies, you\u2019ll want to go for a bigger surface area so that the ink doesn\u2019t end up blending over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"research-research-research\"><\/span>Research, research, research<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Got a design idea? Great! Now it\u2019s time to get down to business. Choosing a studio can seem simple, but there\u2019s a lot more that goes into it than it may seem. Not all tattoo artists are created equally\u2014many of them specialize in specific styles of artwork, so you\u2019ll ultimately want to select an artist that matches up with what you have in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from that, check out the quality of their work. Have you browsed through the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindmaggot.co.uk\/blogs\/blog\/how-to-find-the-best-tattoo-artists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">artist\u2019s portfolio?<\/a>&nbsp;Do you like what you see? What types of reviews are past clients leaving? All of these things are important to remember while you\u2019re researching local tattoo artists and studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you planning on getting&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/blog\/us\/a-guide-on-how-to-prepare-for-laser-hair-removal\/\">laser hair removal?<\/a>&nbsp;Using lasers on tattooed skin can damage your artwork.<strong>&nbsp;In other words, get your laser hair removal&nbsp;<em>first<\/em>, before you ink up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062821\/tattoo3.jpg\" alt=\"Choosing a studio\" class=\"wp-image-42757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062821\/tattoo3.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062821\/tattoo3-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"plan-a-visit-or-several\"><\/span>Plan a visit (or several)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve found an artist whose work you love, or maybe even a few different artists, you\u2019ll want to schedule a visit with them for a consultation. Usually, consultations are free. This is a chance for you to get to know the artist you\u2019ll be working with better and give them a clearer idea of what kind of tattoo you\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking with your tattoo artist during your consultation is a great time to ask any questions you may have or discuss anything you might be concerned with. This is also a good opportunity to take a tour of the tattoo studio and scope out the space. Here, you\u2019ll want to pay attention to things such as workstation cleanliness and safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"go-for-it\"><\/span>Go for it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If everything has gone smoothly and you\u2019ve successfully selected a tattoo studio that\u2019s right for you, the only thing left to do is to get your tattoo! At this stage, you may be required to put a deposit down while your artist works on your design and you\u2019ll likely be able to go ahead and set a date for your tattoo appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062842\/tattoo2.jpg\" alt=\"get your tattoo!\" class=\"wp-image-42762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062842\/tattoo2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29062842\/tattoo2-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting your&nbsp;first tattoo&nbsp;might not always seem so straightforward, but by following our helpful guidelines, you\u2019ll be able to confidently pick a tattoo studio that checks off all your boxes.
