Tips for Choosing a Tattoo Artist in New York
Check Reviews & Ratings
Look for tattoo artists with consistently high ratings and a meaningful number of reviews. A tattoo artist with 4.5 stars and 100+ reviews is generally more reliable than one with 5 stars and only 2 reviews.
Verify Credentials
Always verify that the tattoo artist holds appropriate licenses for NY. Check with your state's licensing board for the most up-to-date information.
Compare Multiple Options
Don't settle for the first option. Contact at least 2-3 tattoo artists to compare services, availability, and pricing before making your decision.
Ask About Experience
Inquire about the tattoo artist's experience with your specific needs. Specialists who focus on particular areas may provide better outcomes than generalists.
