How to Choose the Right Tattoo Artist — Am I the Right Artist for You?

Choosing a tattoo artist is one of the most important parts of getting tattooed. It’s not just about skill, but also about trust, safety, and connection. In this guide, I’ll share what to look for in an artist — and help you decide if I might be the right one for you.

1. Look at the Portfolio 

Every tattoo artist has a signature style. Some focus on realism, others on bold traditional work, others on fine line or minimalist designs.

Ask yourself: Does their work inspire you? Can you see yourself wearing their art forever?

💡 My style: realism, surrealism, neo-realism, color, and black & grey. If that speaks to you, we might be a good match.

2. Pay Attention to Hygiene & Professionalism 

A clean, safe studio = a safe tattoo.

Your artist should always use sterilized equipment, gloves, and professional standards.

💡 In my space: I follow strict hygiene rules so you can feel comfortable and safe throughout your session.

3. Communication & Comfort 🗣

You should feel heard. A good artist listens to your ideas, gives advice, and guides you without pressure.

Comfort matters — this is someone you’ll spend hours with.

💡 With me: I take time to discuss your idea, hear your story, suggest what will age well, and make sure you feel at ease before and during the tattoo.

4. Reviews & Recommendations ⭐

Check what other clients say. Reviews give you insight into the experience, not just the final result.

💡 My clients often mention my passion and how important it is to me that the focus is always on you and only you.

5. Pricing & Value 💶

Good tattoos aren’t “cheap” — they’re investments.

Look for transparency: clear pricing, no hidden costs.

💡 My approach: I believe in fair pricing for quality art that lasts. I’ll always be upfront about the cost before we begin.

✅ Am I the Right Artist for You?

If you love realism, want a safe and relaxed environment, and value collaboration in the design process — then yes, I might be the right artist for you.
