Tips On Getting A Custom Tattoo

By Marcel Cromack


Tattoo parlors are everywhere, but not every person who has a drawing machine can be called an expert. For a custom tattoo, you need someone who can create an original piece of art straight from your mind. Finding such a person and getting the best out of their work is a problem that many people have to overcome.

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.

Before choosing a custom tattoo artist, ask to be provided with references. Meet the referees provided and make inquiries on the type of portraits they have, how they feel about them and how long it took to get them. From their answers, choose the artist to work with.
