I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. What is the best way to choose a tattoo artist?

The first step in finding a good tattoo artist is to research them online and read reviews from other people who have had tattoos done by that artist. You can also ask friends or family members for recommendations, as they may have had experience with an artist you're considering. Once you've narrowed down your choices, make sure to visit their studio to get a better feel for how comfortable and skilled they are at tattooing. Ask questions like what kind of designs they specialize in and if they use sterilized equipment. Finally, be sure to check their credentials and ensure that they are licensed and insured.
