What matters here
We focus on quality rather than quantity. We’re not worried about how long of a line we have, or how far in advance we are booked. We are only concerned about the tattoo right in front of us.
The shop, in its own words
In practice, that means a consultation where your artist plans size, placement and sessions with you, a design drawn from scratch, and an honest answer when an idea needs to change to work on skin.
A chair you feel comfortable in
Clients pick the shop for three reasons: the reviews, word of mouth and feeling comfortable in the chair, women especially.
Tell your artist what you are nervous about. Breaks are fine, and no question is too small. If it is your first tattoo, say so and they will walk you through every step.
