12 Tips to Tattoo Shop Etiquette | Amazing Tattoos

You never want to be “that guy” in the tattoo shop who is haggling for a lower price, criticizing the tattooist’s design, and basically telling everyone in the shop how to do their jobs.  It’s rude to the artists, managers, piercers and other clients. This kind of behavior can cause a huge distraction and kills the vibe of the shop.  When you get a tattoo, you don’t want to be a dick about it, you want to be the best possible client.  Everyone gets the tattoo they deserve, so here are our twelve tips to tattoo shop etiquette.

#10 Be open to your artist’s ideas

Your tattoo artist is (hopefully) a professional for a reason.  They know best.  So when they tell you the lettering should be bigger or that a mandala on your back will come out cleaner than one on your ribs, it’s most likely because it will hold up better in the long run and read more clearly.
