The best way to identify a good tattoo artist is to do an exhaustive study of what you want to get tattooed and then research on social networks. Nowadays, platforms like Instagram or Facebook offer us a wide variety of artists, styles, studios, reviews and recommendations. Taking advantage of these tools will allow you to filter options and focus on the artists that really fit what you are looking for.
Once you are clear about the style you want, whether it is a design in shadows or colors, the next step is to find the tattoo artist that best suits your vision. Look closely at their portfolio and social networks. It is essential that all your work follows the same line and demonstrates consistency. Look at the solidity of the colors, the straight lines and the contrasts. Additionally, it is important that you have at least five years of experience, which ensures that you have perfected your technique and are able to maintain a high standard on each project.
It is highly recommended to examine his entire body of work, from his tattoos to other artistic expressions such as drawings or paintings. This will not only give you confidence, but will also confirm that the tattoo artist loves the art and enjoys his work. This passion will translate into a greater connection with your design, ensuring that your tattoo is a unique and special piece.
In addition to the technique, it is vital to pay attention to what the tattoo artist conveys as an artist. The tattoo is something that you will carry on your skin for a lifetime, so there must be an emotional and artistic connection that makes you feel comfortable and confident with its work. Today, the tattoo world is extremely competitive, and that artistic connection is what separates a good tattoo artist from a mediocre one.
One of the most important moments is the prior consultation. This is where complicity is created between the tattoo artist and the client, something crucial for the success of the design. The tattoo artist should listen to your ideas and accurately capture what you want. Whether it is a simple design or something more complex, there must be good communication and understanding between both parties. The consultation is the opportunity to feel that spark of "love at first sight" with the artist who will carry out your project.
Regarding prices, the most common complaint among customers is its cost. But remember, the tattoo is something for life, and the final result depends on the skill and experience of the tattoo artist. If you're willing to pay for an iPhone that only lasts about five years, why not invest in a piece of art that will stay with you for a lifetime?
The prices of a professional tattoo artist are usually between 100 and 150 euros per hour, and what you pay for is the experience, talent and security that the artist offers you. Some look for economy, but in the world of tattooing, cheap is usually expensive. Removing a bad tattoo can cost more than a thousand euros, and sadly, in our studio we receive hundreds of people who want to fix previous jobs because at the time they opted for a cheaper option.
