And I mean you REALLY need to know how good (or bad) the artist you're hiring is... <br> Not exactly the earth-shattering advice you were expecting?<br> I know, but hear me out, and take a minute to consider this stunning fact... <br> Clinton Sanders, a tattooed professor at the University of Connecticut, has studied body alteration practices and tattooing extensively... <br> He states that 22% of those who are tattooed regret the technical quality of their ink. Which means they picked a poor artist. Don't let this happen to you. <br> Be sure you ask your friends for a reputable artist. Ask to see their portfolio. Look for pictures of highly detailed and razor sharp tattoos. Don't settle for mediocre results. <br> My point is, be careful about selecting an artist. Make sure they are good, great. You only have one shot at getting it right, so do some research first. <br> But the secret to a great tattoo goes waaayyy beyond the artist... <br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1416295089665577101-4764547304783503876?l=tattoovtln.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>cecelia curtishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02238180172161360765noreply@blogger.com0
