Questions To Ask A Tattoo Artist Before Getting A Tattoo
by Aurel Radulescu
If you are thinking of getting a tattoo, take the time to talk with
your tattoo artist. During the conversation, make sure to have a
list of questions that you would like answered prior to moving
forward with your decision. Below are a few questions that you
should definately consider asking:
–How long have you been in business?
This is important in determining how professional the work will be
and what type of reputation the business has. If the tattoo studio
is a member of the Better Business Bureau, check out their record
to see about any complaints that have been initiated within the
previous 36 months.
–What are your qualifications?
Before you see a doctor, isn’t it important to know that they are
qualified? Absolutely. The same is true with a tattoo artist. Even
though the two professions are completely different, there are
similarities in that both involve the use of needles and both
professionals must be knowledgeable in their approach at
sterilizing their equipment. An individual’s qualifications and
training history will tell you a lot about what to expect.
–Do you guarantee your work?
If the final image isn’t exactly as you had hoped for, will it be
fixed at n0 charge or what is the process if you are unhappy with
the tattoo? Is there any type of refund policy? These are all
important in determining service after the sale.
–Can I see samples of your work or do you have references?
If you want to know about the quality of work, you should always
ask for references in any business.
–How much will this cost?
Before agreeing to a specific tattoo design, you will want to know
the full cost involved. Large tattoos can be very costly, but even
the smallest design can be expensive if you are on a budget. Do
yourself a favor and avoid any surprises - ask about the costs
upfront.
–How many tattoos have you done?
This will give you a good indication of the experience level and
how much design work the artist has done.
–What is the likelihood of an infection and how may I prevent one
from occurring?
Every good tattoo artist can provide this information. He/she
should be able to tell you what to do to lessen the likelihood of
an infection and what to do if you suspect that one may be
developing.
–Is there anyone who should not get a tattoo, such as someone with
certain medical conditions?
This is important, especially if you are asking because you have a
condition that concerns you. Individuals with thin blood, for
instance, may be more cautious about anything that involves
breaking the skin or needles. The same is true of individuals with
other conditions, which should be addressed prior to agreeing to be
tattooed.
–If I have a fear of needles, is there any way to help me through
the process of getting a tattoo?
Don’t feel bad if this is you. A lot of people have a fear of
needles, which is a device used in creating tattoos. If you are
afraid, it never hurts to explain this to the tattoo artist
beforehand so that he/she can try to take extra steps to make you
feel at ease or to make the experience a less painful one for you.
–How long will the tattooing process take?
This is important, especially if you are getting a tattoo on your
lunch break. All kidding aside, you will want to know how long to
expect the process to take so that you can plan the rest of your
day accordingly.
