Post 5 — Your tattoo artist wants questions.

Nervous?

Unsure?

Need clarification?

Ask.

Good communication creates better tattoos.

No good artist expects you to know everything.

First tattoo people — what question did you have before getting inked?

06/03/2026

✨ Cheap tattoos can become expensive tattoos ✨

Coverups.

Laser removal.

Fixing blown-out work.

Good tattoos aren’t cheap.

Cheap tattoos aren’t good.

Quality matters.

Agree or disagree?

06/02/2026

✨ Placement matters more than you think ✨

The same design can look completely different depending on where it goes.

Movement.

Muscle shape.

How skin ages.

Visibility.

Placement can make a tattoo.

Or break it.

What’s your favorite tattoo placement?

✨ Your tattoo changes after it heals ✨

Fresh tattoos aren’t the final result.

Healing changes things.

Lines soften. Colors settle. Skin changes.

That’s normal.

Trust the healing process.

What surprised YOU most after getting tattooed?

New Series: “Things Nobody Tells You About Tattoos"

Small tattoos aren’t always easier.

People think tiny tattoos are simple.

Sometimes they’re harder.

Small designs mean less room for detail, less room for aging, and every line matters.

Tiny doesn’t automatically mean easier.

Would you go tiny or big for your next tattoo?

5 — Things Tattoo Artists Wish Clients Knew

“This will help everyone.”

💭 Things tattoo artists wish more clients knew:

✔️ Eat before your appointment
✔️ Bring food and drinks so you don't crash
✔️ Bring reference ideas, not exact copies
✔️ Trust the process
✔️ Cheap tattoos aren’t good tattoos, good tattoos aren't cheap
✔️ Healing is part of the tattoo journey too

A good tattoo is a collaboration between the artist and the client.

Communication + trust = the best results.

And yes…
Please shower before your appointment 😂

4 — Aftercare Mistakes

“These mistakes can ruin a tattoo.”

🚨 Tattoo aftercare mistakes we see WAY too often:

❌ Over-moisturizing
❌ Picking or scratching
❌ Swimming too early
❌ Direct sun exposure
❌ Using random scented lotions

Your tattoo is basically an open wound while healing.

Taking care of it properly makes a huge difference in:

✔️ Color retention
✔️ Healing quality
✔️ Long-term appearance

Good tattoos still need good healing.

What’s the best aftercare advice you’ve ever gotten?
