When it comes to the similarities between the works of studio tattoo designers and online tattoo designers, the fact that they are both artists is the only common aspect. Remaining all other aspects are different. So if you're trying to decide which type of designer is best for you, you'll need to know the pros and cons of one versus the other. Let's take a closer look at studio designers first.
Pros of Studio Designers
One good thing about studio tattoo designers is their location. They're right there in your city. Whether you're planning to get a tattoo done or are just curious to know about the latest trends in tattoo industry, they're close to you. Since they're close to you, you'll have the option to go consult as many designers as you like before you finally make up your mind to get a tattoo.
Another positive about studio designers is that they have a large number of books containing prefabricated tattoo designs to choose from. The designs that are offered in the shop are usually those that the artists have tattooed several times before, in different shapes and sizes and so you can be sure of the designer's skill. If you choose to get a tattoo that's popular at a particular shop, you can be confident it'll come out great the first time around.
Cons of Studio Designers
Some of the things that are considered as positives of studio tattoo designers can also be considered as the disadvantages, when compared to online designers. One negative is that studios often have a particular style based on common tattoos requested from their shops. Which means your tattoo won't be a custom design tattoo. Another disadvantage is that picking a design from a tattoo book at a local shop limits your choices.
If you do decide to buy a custom design from a studio artist, be prepared to pay a reasonably good amount for it.
Pros of Online Designers
There are a lot of advantages if you decide to opt for the services of online tattoo designers. The custom design contests are amazing, and it's really easy to host one. You go to a site, select 'Host a Contest' and enter the amount you plan to pay for your design. The designers will contact you. They choose to enter your contest because they believe they can deliver exactly what you're looking for, and better than anyone else.
Another positive aspect about an online custom design site is that it allows tattoo artists from across the world compete with each other with the help of internet. So, you have an unlimited access to the skill of renowned tattoo artists that can deliver unique and varied designs based on your ideas.
The best thing about online tattoo contests is that after you've finally chosen a design that matches your expectations the best, you'll get a stencil of the design to take with you to the studio. Make sure the studio is hygienic and the artist is skilled enough to create an exact replica on your body.
Cons of Online Designers
When you opt for an online tattoo contest, you've got to give it some time. It takes at least two weeks for the contest to launch and before it comes to an end. But, if you're eventually getting an exact design that you so badly wanted, the little time you have spent won't be a big deal at all.
Another problem could be with choosing from among a minimum of 10 custom designs created only for you. However, you just have to pick up the one that suits your requirements the most and is closest to what you'd imagined it to be.
