Planning Your Next Tattoo
A look at what tattoo artists hate from a customer, so you can prepare from your next tattoo session.

Like any workplace, there are certain rules you need to follow when you go to a tattoo studio. You need to show a level of respect for the hard work, time and dedication tattoo artists put into creating those fine works of art for their client's bodies.

Over the decade modern tattoo studios have been in operation, there has been many things that clients do that tattoo artists really hate. Take a look at some of the most common below.

Not Having an Idea for Your Tattoo When You Arrive

Perhaps one of the biggest pet peeves of tattoo artists is those clients who enter the studio imagining that the artist will create something amazing on the spot. Don’t do this. Make sure you have a good idea of the type of design you want for your tattoo before you go in. This will enable the tattoo artist to take your design, improve on it and make it look good on your skin.

Wanting The Tattoos Other People Want

While we understand that you may admire someone else’s tattoo, as it’s likely it was done by someone else, you need to know it’s rude to try and ask one artist to copy another. So, unless you know the same tattoo artist who worked on the design, avoid choosing something someone already has – besides, why would you want the exact same one as another person anyway.

Changing Your Mind

As tattoo artists have a business to run, and one that is quite stressful and based on clients sticking to agreed-upon arrangements, unless it is unavoidable, changing your mind at the last minute is one of the worst things you can do. It may be that you do this because you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment but leave it to the last minute without a valid reason, or because you simply change your mind about the design. Avoid making these same mistakes.

Not Preparing If A Tattoo Numbing Cream Used

As you know, having tattoos do hurt. For a long time, this was considered a part of the whole process. That was until they started making headway with topical solutions and created Tattoo Numbing Cream. However, if they are not put on for some time before your tattoo session, they don’t work. Many clients think they can quickly put the cream on as they get to the studio, this wastes alot of time, which more than likely will leave the artist very annoyed.

Ensure you plan if you are going to use a tattoo numbing cream and apply before you go to the tattoo studio. Products from Tattoo Numb help you prepare for your next tattoo session, so you can enjoy the process.
