4 Tips for New Tattoo Artists

(18/12/2017)

If you're just starting out as a new tattoo artist, congratulations! This is an exciting time and the start of what can be a fun and fulfilling career. Many people dream of pursuing an artistic passion within their work, and being a tattoo artist means that every day will be different. There's so much you'll learn along the way, but if you're a beginner, we have compiled a list of 4 tips to help you get started.

1. Build Your Portfolio

All tattoo artists need a portfolio of work. A physical album or scrapbook of your work is great for potential clients, but you should also set up an online profile. Using social media to showcase your work is highly effective in today's modern world. Showcasing what you can do not only sends clients your way but is a great way for you to look back on your progress as an artist throughout the years.

2. Stay Committed

It can be difficult for new tattoo artists, with many established tattooists already out there. You'll need to be persistent, hard working and committed to keeping going, even while it's tough. While tattooing is fun, it can include long, late shifts, so you must have a strong work ethic.

3. Practice Good Customer Service

Every day you'll meet new people of different ages with different interests. They could be sat with you for hours at a time so you need to make sure that you practice customer service skills. Offer drinks, keep them comfortable and encourage friendly chat. Meeting new people is one of the perks of the job, but only if you make it so.

4. Use Quality Equipment

Using high-quality tattoo guns and ink will make a huge different to your work. Strong, vibrant colours are essential and you'll need a huge range so that you're ready to take on any design. Working with a high standard of equipment not only makes your job easier but produces better results for satisfied customers.
