I had a consultation a few weeks ago and the artist was a sweetheart. She sketched my idea, had a bomb idea of placement and even stenciled her sketch to visualize her placement. Basically she improved what i wanted and went above and beyond for me. So excited for my appointment with her

I've watched many tattoo videos and some have said that it is insulting to ask the price to get your tattoo once you have settled on what you want. Also, some have said cash only..... I would be traveling to the tattoo location and can't go in and pay a deposit and don't really like to carry a lot of cash. Is it insulting to ask to pay the deposit with cc and to pay up at the end with a cc? I have not had a consult yet due to not knowing exact day but don't want to be insulting when I do contact somebody...

@@vicbunn1215 I'd say most of that depends on the artist. some only take cash, some do hourly, some price by piece. I don't think asking how they do payment is rude at all, but asking how much up front would be. I usually tip the same way I do servers (20% minimum). they're not required, but it shows satisfaction with their service. in your consult they should go over most of this so you have a better idea what to expect

I was sceptical and boy was i right, he drawed up a design that morning and showed it to me. He didn't look at any of my notes (which were all totally in his style), he just made a quick copy -or slightly different to what he made before. Good to say i walked out of it. Now im on to find an artist whom can draw up something beforehand and with whom i can have an actual consultation, be it from distance.

It's all very informative and straight to the point, no bs, and actual good advice for many of my concerns. I was actually wondering if you could tell me or do a small video about commissioning tattoo artists for a design (because I have no artistic talent). Some of my main concerns are about what to say and how much it would cost just for that commission alone, as well as what to do if you end up not liking the design or want a different one. And if I should tip/how much should I tip for that commission (and maybe tip in general for tattoos). Thank you so much for your time and for making an awesome and informative channel!

Shown him the picture first of the idea, half an hour later told him to book me and I'll bring my graphic novel of the Joker I wanted done. The next day, he stencil the outlines which took him an hour to do, then 4 hours to get the black outlines and the black shadowing to be done. another 2 to 3 hours more to fill in the green hair face and rest of the colors. He said he didn't like the way he done the black, I thought he did a great job but he told to come back when healed for a free session to get a touch up on the black. I had a picture of the Joker on phone but allow him to use the book to use to stencil it out. By the way, the Joker picture I had on my phone was taken out of my book I own. No internet picture.

Nothing wrong with not knowing what you want and take your time in deciding, but don't waste an artists time trying to figure that out. It took me 20 years to decide on what I REALLY wanted. I always knew I wanted a tattoo and had seen people with my skin tone that had some pretty crappy tattoos and I always knew there was something better. Many people I saw would get color tattoos and the colors would muddy with our beautiful melanin. I knew i didn't want to look up a year or two later and be mad. Not to mention I hadn't lived much. It took me going through things and surviving them before I decided on a pretty sexy flower thigh tattoo to demonstrate that I finally found my self confidence. And clothing...don't wear tight clothes ladies. Think loose and flowy. Also don't wear your club clothes or Sunday best. I wore lounge pants with some tiny booty shorts I could pull and tape up to give the artist access to my hip and thigh for my tattoo. I wasn't comfortable wearing booty shorts outside in NM in March so I wore the loose pants to cover the shorts when going to akd from the studio. But be comfy and make it easy on yourself and the artist.

If you're getting a piece because you want to get a tattoo by a certain artist then it can come at the end of the consultation because you'll be willing to save up and make sure you can afford it. Depends on style too if it's a simple traditional piece they'll be more likely to know how long it'll take opposed to a portrait or realism

Hey James, so Iv gotten a pretty nice cursive font before on my forearm from my tattoo artist 9 years ago and its still pretty damn good looking. However, now im thinking about the sleeve and My thing is, with images, I just would like a tattoo artist to show me a good sketch of it before hand, maybe even a sketch or multiple of how it would look on the arm itself. I feel like what I usually see is a rough sketch and not much shading when I look at other people getting sleeves, sometimes I dont even see them be shown an image they just give ideas. Im kinda talking outa my ass since I having gotten those types of tats before, but usually I get the vibe that they just show u a stencil before you get your tat and you kinda have to agree right then. Is it a pain in the ass for them to do this? I feel like that's reasonable. The one guy I went to is amazing at realistic stuff which is what I like, but his sleeve flow to me is questionable, whereas there is another dude who's flow with negative spacing and combining imagines is nice, but I don't think his skill at realistic ish tats are totally his strength, and since my ideas are unique I can give references to the style but not so much to the exact image, I find alot of tattoo artists fall apart when it comes to they themselves coming up with original images that look realistic on their own, I find its usually cartoony or the proportions are off or shading etc. So is it reasonable to expect them before I guarantee to work with them, to show me a good sketch? Possibly with shading and some texture?

I think if price is a concern but you really like the artist be a respnsible adult and just tell them: "look, I really want your work but I dont currently have enough to pay for it." Save up some extra money and come back when youre ready. When i was looking at the caliber of artists i really liked it seemed as though all of them had a $200 per hour rate. So I decided that if I wanted to get my upper arm done and it was going to take about 6 hours to complete I would save up at least $1,200 before consulting an artist. And then when I had my money right I got my arm done. ✔

It's totally okay to do that, but whether or not the artist wants to tattoo it is totally up to him. Some guys / gals only like to do their own stuff. Some aren't very particular about it. But you're not being rude by bringing your own drawing. Just make sure to keep an open mind if they suggest changes in order to make it more tattooable

@@JamesWithee thanks so much! I designed it as a tattoo but obviously my artist will know more than me about what would look good on the body. I'll keep an open mind !
