Booking your tattoo appointment can be an exciting and nerve-wracking step in your tattoo journey. Whether you’re getting your first piece or adding to your collection, understanding how the process works will help make it smoother.
Start by finding the right tattoo artist. A great way to do this is by researching artists online through Instagram, Tiktok and Pinterest. Browse through their portfolios to see if their style matches what you want. Once you’ve found a potential artist, reach out to them for a tattoo artist consultation. Many artists will want to meet with you before scheduling an appointment to discuss the design, placement, and any specifics related to the tattoo. This is also an opportunity to discuss your budget, since tattoo pricing can vary based on factors like design complexity, artist experience, and location.
When booking, be prepared to pay a tattoo deposit to secure your spot. This deposit typically covers a portion of the tattoo's total cost and ensures that the artist sets aside time for you. Deposits are usually non-refundable, but they’re a good faith gesture that shows you’re serious about getting the tattoo.
On the day of your appointment, bring any reference images, be ready to follow any pre-appointment instructions (such as avoiding alcohol or eating beforehand), and prepare yourself for the process. With the right preparation, your tattoo experience will be as enjoyable as possible.
