That’s it, you want a real tattoo, and are you ready to take the plunge? Yes, but how to find a good tattoo artist, both gifted and respecting healthy hygiene rules? And how to choose your tattoo artist, the one that will suit you best? Here are all the answers.
To find your tattoo artist, take a look
Have you ever defined your idea for your tattoo project? Do not hesitate to document yourself to inspire you and inspire your tattoo artist when you go find it. Magazines and beautiful books abound beautiful illustrations and photos of tattoos. Like the remarkable “Street Tattoo, the Tour de France of the tattooed”, with the photos of no less than 392 people tattooed throughout the country!
To find your tattoo artist, take a look … tattoo artists!
Attend a tattoo agreement, one of the annual events bringing together the most talented tattoo artists. It will be an opportunity to see how different tattoo artists work, and will help you find a tattoo artist whose method, style, quality and colors of tattoos you will appreciate … The World of Tattoo, which takes place every year in Paris, brings together hundreds of tattoo artists, that we highly recommend!
Find a good tattoo artist by visiting her in his studio
An important guarantee to find a good tattoo artist: if he is registered with the SNAT, the National Union of Tattoo artists. Most of the time, a sticker at this acronym attests to the entrance to the studio. SNAT members respect an ethical charter with hygiene regulation with very strict health rules. Observe, for example, if the tattoo artist’s studio has medical equipment (stainless steel worktop rather than wood, single -use plasticized) and laundry surfaces on the walls and the floor. The tattoo has infectious risks, and your tattoo artist must know how to practice and advise you the best care protocol. Be aware, moreover, that home tattooing is prohibited. Finally, the essential and ultimate step to choose your tattoo artist: consult your book. A photo album of his tattoos already made will certainly show you if his works correspond to the style and the quality you are looking for. The choice of tattoo artist and tattooing is an “indelible” act: take your time. And know that if you want to do some tests, fashion is in ephemeral tattoos!
