However, when you do consider getting tattooed, the designer's talent is just one of the many factors you will have to consider. Another major factor is the after effects on your skin, and so, you should ensure that your designer follows basic safety norms while tattooing a design on youe skin.

Tattoo designers of your choice should have encouraging testimonials, and if you know any of them clients personally, this will help tip the scales in their favor. Tattoos have now become a style statement since a lot of celebrities and sports starts show off tattoos with style. To cater to this ever-growing market of tattoo lovers, a new genre of tattoo designers has sprung up, who want to give their clients exclusive tattoo designs.

It can be very tough finding a good tattoo designer but if you take time and are ready to shell out some money, you'll definitely find one. The designer should have the talents in drawing and visualizing the design as it will finally be tattooed on their client's body. It is always better if the artist has done an elementary course in tattoo designing or has learned the skill by either reading about it or having worked as an apprentice to an artist with recognized skills.

In order to select your tattoo artist, you need to first gauge his skills. This is best done by checking out his portfolio of designs. You should also inquire about the safety measures that he/ she practices while doingthe tattoo and also take into consideration his aesthetic skills.
