Tattoo. Looking for a master.

The first thing you have to surf the Internet, search relevant articles, tips, interesting ideas and good
masters. It’s certainly not a quick thing but if you approach it thoughtfully then such a thorny path will
be crowned with success!
The most important thing is not to solve this problem in a hurry. Be patient because choosing the right
tattoo artist is 90% of the success of our company. No matter how banal or crazy the idea of a future
tattoo is it all starts with a master search. So…

Social media.


Picking up your Internet searches the system throws up contextual advertising from some young
masters of your town with beautiful photos. You go into the profile and “oh, miracle!” – it’s so beautiful
and wonderful that you urgently need to write her a message and sign up for a session while there are
“free slots” this month!

Exhale! And start to analyze.


Now tattooing like many areas of household services is tightly connected with the media. Naturally, the
masters will seek to catch you as a client. Study such pages in more details. Look at the time of account
creation and the level of works. And it is better that the publication contains exactly “healed tattoos”
and not beautifully photoshopped cute photos. The fact is that more often only fresh tattoos are
photographed in such a web feed. The more sophisticated masters manage to throw on a couple more
layers of Photoshop so that their portfolio sells better. And those who are completely arrogant manage
to put even the original image under the photo (more often unconscionable realist masters sin with
this). So, you should not be immediately guided by the fashionable content on the author’s page.


Word of mouth.


This is a time-tested and life-tested way – “I am from Natasha!”. Indeed, it is much easier to find a good
master this way because the pioneer Natasha has already told us almost everything. You’ve seen how
her peony has healed and you really like it. Natasha didn’t get sick; her hair didn’t fall out and her
pimples didn’t pop out. So, the system works and you can safely sign up for the same peony but for
yourself!
Even if somewhere on the street or in a cafe you meet a person with a cool tattoo and you are
interested in knowing the author do not hesitate to ask its owner about it. Even a stranger will always be
pleased to receive a compliment even from another stranger and he/she will be happy to tell you about
the master and the history of her appearance.


Tattoo conventions.


Mass events “for your own”. People who are not involved in a tattoo culture may not even know that
once or twice a year a meeting of tattoo artists from cities and villages takes place in their city. For an
unprepared person this event may look like a BDSM movement of informal people and goths. But it will
be one of the best places to observe the process and look at the healed works. In general, for the guests
the event is very boring. Year after year it gets more and more boring. It will be possible to go around all
the boxes with tattoo artists and make a choice in two hours. Particularly persistent tattoo masters may
try to persuade you to get a tattoo right at the convention but I would not recommend doing this. It is
almost impossible to ensure the sterility of work in such a passageway, in the studio it is at least close to
the maximum. So here, as always, it’s better not to rush!


And the most important thing. Personal communication with your tattoo artist.


If you think that you have finally decided on the master and his unique style has sunk into your heart,
write him directly or email, and chat with him. Don’t be afraid to ask even stupid questions such as –
and if I get fat what will happen to the tattoo?“. You are not an expert in these things and it is quite
normal that you may have similar parallels. There is a lot of garbage of all kinds on the web and in order
to clarify everything for yourself you write to the tattoo artist with all your “cockroaches”, and not to
the woman Glasha from the next door. Analyze how the person reacts, whether he responds correctly
and whether he communicates correctly. You can make an appointment for a consultation, talk to the
tattoo artist personally, check him for “sanity” and only then make a decision. After all, you will spend 3-
5 hours in close contact with this person and will carry his work on you all your life (ideally). The days when tattoo artists were brutal lumberjacks have already sunk into oblivion, there is no need to tolerate
rudeness, ridicules and rudeness. For any such rural boor there is a dozen cool artists with a sense of
tact. The tattoo market is overflowing with good artists and the ruthless world of free competition
pushes such “rude brutal people” to sale underwear on the backyard of social media.
