I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. What are some tips for choosing a tattoo artist?

1. Research the artist and their work. Make sure they're reputable and have plenty of positive reviews.
2. Ask friends or family for referrals to artists you may know.
3. Consider the design you want to get. Think about how it will look in different lighting, and if it's something that can be easily hidden by clothing.
4. Visit the studio and take a tour. See if the environment is comfortable and clean. Ask questions to make sure you understand the process.
5. Get an estimate before committing. This way you'll know what your final cost will be.
