One of the biggest mistakes I made before getting my first one was not eating or drinking water!! It made me almost pass out over a small, 10 minute tattoo
kdubphoto she never ate or drank water and even if it was a few minutes in, having a needle repeatedly going into your skin would make anyone woozy on an empty stomach
A good tip I’ve learnt from personal experience too is that many reputable/well known artists don’t actually charge per hour, they just have a day rate, so regardless of how small or big the tattoo is, you’re being charged for the day, so keep that in mind. I got a rude shock going to a famous artist when I travelled overseas I got a tattoo that took 3 hours, yet I was charged US $1100 for the day rate. Yes artists should be more clear, but it’s also your responsibility to be sure about pricing beforehand
I'm happy for my first tattoo I went all out. I sat 7 hours for my first tattoo and yes I hated it by the end but I don't have to go back and finish it up or pay another chunk of cash for it.
I have 2 tattoos, one is appointment and one is walk in. My third one I'll be getting next month is appointment and would take about 5 hours for a thigh piece! I prefer to do it one session because my artist switch cities so if I were to do 2 sessions I have to wait 1-2 months. Hopefully I can sit through 5 hours!
this video is great dude. i ordered inks and needles for my very 1st time as a tattoo artist, and already have a canvas, i just wanna know what should be my costumers to do lists. it helps a lot. good job
U mentioned hygiene, but the problem is do we shave before appointment? Some of us may not be careful when shaving, leaving some redness or after shave rashes in the area that’s going to be tattooed
Hey bro love your vids I got a small question I want a forearm tattoo it’s going to be a black and gray rose not to be but not to small I want it to look realistic I researched a tattoo artist I want to tattoo me he charges around $100 a hour how long do u think it will cost and take btw good vid and I love how u say tadoo lol keep it up 😁
Usually for post-card sized tattoos there is a flat price. Only for bigger pieces would artist charge by the hour. No one can answer this question though tbh
Not a good idea no matter what. If you end up having no pain tolerance it's going to fucking suck sitting through it and you may not even be able to do it. I recommend to everyone get something small at first.
TheStyleDogg thanks! Im actually doing a left arm full sleeve thats inspired by ur left arm. Really love ur tattoos, and wish i could go to aussie to get it from ur artist :(
