Hi, I’m Britt, a 16 year tattoo artist. ❤️
I get the same three questions all the time so I figured I’d just break it down real quick.
How do you turn your idea into a tattoo, how long does it take, and what does it cost.
First off, find me at @pinchnpoke . Pricing isn’t just “time in the chair.” You’re paying for the design time, the years of experience, the materials, the overhead… all of it. Not just the hours you’re sitting there getting tattooed.
And when it comes to picking an artist, don’t just go off one cool picture. Look through their work. Look at healed tattoos. See if they’re actually growing or if everything looks the same. Reputation matters too.
At the end of the day, find someone whose style actually matches what you want. Don’t try to force an artist to do something they don’t specialize in.
Good tattoos aren’t cheap, and cheap tattoos usually end up costing way more when you have to fix or cover them later.
