Finding the right tattoo artist is probably the hardest part of the process because not every artist will want to tattoo a design they haven’t drawn themselves. Therefore, this step requires plenty of research to locate professional tattoo artists, see their work, and schedule a meeting to discuss your tattoo ideas. Communication is key, so make sure to let them know what you have in mind and whether they will be open to working with your ideas. When you find the right artist to work with, as we mentioned previously, their experience and expertise can get you from concept to actual tattoo design much faster.
