How To Get A Custom Tattoo

By Marcel Cromack


Tattoos are used to depict many things. Some people use them as a fashion statement while others use them to express their feelings. Either way, it is important that you find a great custom tattoo artist for any work you would like done. There are many people out there with the right machines required for this job, but this does not necessarily mean that they are the best.

In your search, you will need to be as specific as possible. Find a traditional artist who is capable of drawing a representation of what you describe to him. He will need to listen to how you feel, where you would like the portrait placed and also how much money you would be willing to pay for his time.

Localize your search by using the web to locate local professionals. Inquire from friends on where you can get the best parlors. Call each shop and ask to speak to the professional.

Having identified the local tattoo parlors, look for time and visit each shop. While there, examine each portrait carefully checking the level of professionalism and creativity that has gone in to each piece. Check how the lines have been drawn and also how the color has been filled.

Be flexible when examining the pieces on display. You must remember that not all works look great when photographed. The clarity of photographs is determined by the design, the capabilities of an artist, lighting and the design in question.

Portraits tend to be permanent. For anyone contemplating on getting one, he must check for consistency on all the images. If some images look good and others are not that appealing, it could mean that the artist is still learning to use his tools. Observing the line thickness, shading, consistency and texture will also tell you a lot about a professional.

Take time to make inquiries and chat with the artists. Make inquiries on how long they have been in this trade, how they learned the art and whether they are familiar with other works of art. These are questions that will affect your final decision.

Where possible, ask for some references. Meet the references and inquire on how they feel about the work performed by the custom tattoo artist. Try and establish how long it took to complete the designs and whether the process was in any way painful.
