Getting a tattoo artist is always a process that can make some people feel nervous; you want to make sure that you are picking the right one but you don't always know what to look for or to trust what you see and think about the parlor. Being in the tattoo business, although at the other end of it, I still know how to pick the right tattoo artist and can help you do the same.
First things first, actually go to the tattoo parlor and take a look at things for yourself. Look and see if the place is neat and professional looking. If they keep things clean, as far as you can t ell, that's a good sign; if there's dirt on the floor or walls, then that might not be the place you want to expose your vulnerable skin.
The second thing is to ask the tattoo artist questions. Ask question such as: Is there an autoclave? Are your needles single use? Do the artists wear gloves? What sort of disinfectants do you use? How long have you been in business?
Don't be afraid to ask the questions because if the place is legit, then they won't mind since they should be doing these things anyway and won't have anything to hide.
The third thing to do is check to see if the artist follows the latest safety precautions.
The fourth thing to do is ask people who have gotten tattoos from the place and see how theirs look and ask if they would recommend the parlor.
