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.

#5 Be sober

Always get a tattoo sober.  This should be a no brainer, but make sure you go into the studio without any alcohol or drugs in your system.  Not only will this ensure that you pick the idea you actually want, but it will make saturating the tattoo easier for the artist.  This means try not to drink the night prior to getting a tattoo as well.  Alcohol thins your blood and will cause you to bleed a lot more.  (Tattoo by Daniel Farren)
