The best way to collaborate with your tattoo artist is honesty.
There are no ideas too big, too small, too crazy or not crazy enough. Some people know exactly what they want their tattoo to be, others aren’t sure. There is also a group of spontaneous souls that act on a feeling. We welcome you all with open arms.
Ideally it is worth to ponder a lot of the potential tattoo designs before setting up an appointment. Even if the outcome is “I still don’t know…”
Tell us about the idea you’re picturing, if it doesn’t have shape yet, we will work on it. If there are drawings and pictures that help you visualize your design, bring it along with you.
It isn’t a good idea to ask the artist to directly copy someone else’s tattoo. No respected artist will do that. However, designs that already exist might help with creating your own design. Also, the exception applies when it comes to motifs from pop culture or famous people’s portraiture, etc.
Speak up, don’t be afraid to tell us what you want.
Demanding small changes over and over will spoil the atmosphere. Be confident over what you want but don’t be a pest.
Trust your artist, and their skills.
Regardless of how you come to the idea of your desired tattoo, be prepared to spend some time having conversation with your artist; negotiations are absolutely allowed and equally enjoyed in our studio. Remain open minded. If we are positive something cannot be done, we will tell you.
The creative process requires trust and respect on both sides.
