Choosing a tattoo artist is like choosing a surgeon, only instead of a scalpel, it’s a tattoo machine, and instead of a body, it’s your canvas. And, as with any important decision, you need to be attentive and pay attention to details. In my experience, the first look at a portfolio and the artist’s workspace can tell you more about them than they can themselves. Believe me, this is a critical stage that can save you a lot of nerves and, most importantly, keep your skin safe and sound.
