Mojave Dave said:I am a retired tattoo artist with 31 years in the trade. You meet a lot of very decent folk when you are a tattoo artist. And there is a distinct difference between a "Tattooist" and a "Tattoo Artist". A good Tattooist is technically up to snuff but possesses no real talent for art. A Tattoo Artist is both technically sound and artistically talented. This is who you want to work on you.
Always ask to see the artists photo album of his work. If he doesn't have one go somewhere else. Any Tattoo Artist worth his salt will have at least one and will be proud to show off his work to you.
Never allow anyone with dirty fingernails to tattoo you. A proper Tattooist/Atist will have hands as clean a s a doctor's.
Never EVER let anyone tattoo you from their garage or bedroom. We cal these guys "scratchers" in the business. Ladies: be smart and place your smallish, tasteful tattoo in a discreet place where you can easily show it if you want to but the artwork is hidden from casual view.
And last but not least...DON'T PICK THE FREAKIN' SCABS!!!
