Tattoo Artist Question: What to Consider Before Getting Inked?

[xiyoyos]

Hey everyone!

I'm contemplating my first tattoo and have some questions for the community. As someone new to this, I want to ensure that I choose the right tattoo artist. What should I look for when selecting one? I've heard that checking their portfolio is crucial to see their style, but what else is important?

Additionally, how do I approach the consultation process with a tattoo artist? Any tips on questions to ask or things to consider would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I get a piece that I'll love forever!

Thanks in advance!
