First tattoo - how to get started

July 28th 2025

So you’ve decided you want a tattoo, you might have known for years exactly what you want, you might only have a vague idea, but now what? 

Well the first step is to find the right artist for the job, one who makes you feel comfortable, who works somewhere clean and accessible for you, and who will be  enthusiastic about your tattoo and is capable or experienced in the style you would like.

Next, send them a message or email, tell them where you want the tattoo on your body - forearm/calf/ribs etc, approximately how big in cm or inches, and a basic description of the idea you have. Attach photos for reference if possible and explain what it is you like from each one, it will make the process much faster!

After that your artist should be able to give you a quote and offer you a time slot, easy peasy!
