A clean power point on how some keys to getting nice tattoos.

1. A rookie guide to getting good work.

3. 1. Check artist’s portfolios.
2. Compare with other artists.
3. Possible travel and distance.

4. It is important to know what you’re looking for.
Don’t be afraid to be specific. Good artists want to make
their clients happy.

5. Remember that a tattoo is a commitment. It’s going to be there for the rest
of your life. You wouldn’t walk in to a random plastic surgeon and expect to
walk out with top quality work, so you shouldn’t expect that from a tattoo
artist.
Bring your reference material and be prepared
to discuss it with your artist.

6. Most artists that are in demand have a waiting list.
Good work is worth waiting for.
Again, remember a tattoo is a commitment, and worth waiting for.

7. 1. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get a nice tattoo.
2. You need to go in with a budget in mind.
3. Don’t be afraid to tell your artist what your budget is.

8. Two Things are Most Important
1. Possible employment issues with visible tattoos.
2. Different parts of the body come with different pain levels

9. Treat Your Appointment Like a Visit to the Doctor
1. Be clean, showered, and smelling nice.
2. Be on time.
3. Eat before, and bring snacks. Tattooing on low blood-sugar can be bad.
4. Ask your artist if you should have the area shaved already.
5. A non-prescription pain reliever can make sitting more comfortable.

11. Tipping is always welcome. If you pay $500 for a
tattoo, the artist isn’t getting all of that.
Be Prepared…remember “The Appointment”.
