Technology has given new meaning to the words efficiency and convenience. Online networking sites give you instant friends. Direct marketing sites give you instant selling and auto ship options, doing away with the need to go to the store with loads of cash in hand. If you're a skin art fanatic, you know that there's no shortcut to obtain such work of art that reflects your true lifestyle and individual personality. When it comes to tattoos, it is not possible to find that perfect design from among hundreds of designs available at the tattoo studios near you and that too, in your first attempt.
Custom tattoo designs created especially for the client based on his ideas and preferences is a great option to have that perfect design without a lot of fuss. Here's how.
Searching Online
If you would like a tattoo designer to bring your custom tattoo designs into reality, you may search online or ask a friend about it. These methods may sound convenient to you but as convenient these means may be, they are also very risky. There is no harm in using search engines to look for that skilled designer. However, the tricky part begins when you start negotiating with them.
As you grow older, the adage "never talk to strangers" seems to find its way out of your vocabulary. Bogus tattoo designers may impersonate themselves as skilled and experienced tattoo artists by providing false claims and fake testimonials by equally bogus customer names. So, if you are the kind of person who gets easily mislead by flashy commentaries and lurid claims, you should stay away from taking the online route to look for a custom tattoo artist.
Personal Recommendations
In order to be considered a full-fledged skin art fan, it is advisable that you take a membership in a reputable tattoo club. Tattoo club members exchange information, tattoo ideas and may also refer talented tattoo designers whose services are out of ordinary.
Word of mouth is an effective advertising media. People who themselves have tattoos on their skin are in a better position to tell you about the skill of the artist, techniques used by him/ her to tattoo designs, knowledge and experience of the designers as well as the hygiene conditions in the tattoo studio.
However, as effective as they may be, referrals can also place you at a very high risk. Each tattoo artist has his/ her individual opinion when it comes to a custom tattoo design. Just because you like an artist's work on the skin of a friend doesn't mean that he/she would be able to do match your expectations as well. This is because, your personality, tattoo ideas, personal preferences and the reason to have a particular design inked on a given body part may be totally different from your friend. So, it is best to have a session or two with the artist and share your likes and dislikes in a tattoo to figure out how well the designer responds to your hopes, desires and feelings associated to a custom tattoo design.
Before concluding the discussion, let us know that probably the best way to search for that top designer for your custom tattoo is by starting a tattoo design contest. There are many great sites that give you access to thousands of certified and talented tattoo artists who are ready to give their best shot at interpreting your tattoo idea into a lifelong tattoo design.
