Tips for Choosing a Tattoo Shop
Check reviews and ratings. Google ratings and review counts are a great starting point. Look for shops with consistently high ratings and a large number of reviews for the most reliable picture.
Review portfolios. Every reputable tattoo artist maintains a portfolio. Visit their website or social media to see examples of their work, especially in the style you want.
Consider specializations. Different artists excel in different styles — from traditional and Japanese to fine line and realism. Choose a shop where artists specialize in the style you're looking for.
Visit the shop first. A clean, professional environment is essential. Look for proper sterilization equipment, individually packaged needles, and a generally welcoming atmosphere.
Ask about pricing upfront. Most shops charge by the hour or by the piece. Get a clear quote before starting and understand the shop's deposit and cancellation policies.
