To tattoo, it's not a trivial experience but beyond that, it is important to know how to recognize a real good tattoo so as not to end up with a big pie and / or regrets !
A great idea for a perfect tattoo
Well, yes, because a good tattoo, it starts with a good idea. A good idea what is ? This is the one that looks like you.
I can recommend that you take inspiration from your own experience, your stories, Your passions, ... the field of possibilities is infinite but stay in l’original.
Birds flies and infinity signs are to tattoos what spaghetti bolognese are to cooking : it's good and easy but not out of the ordinary.
Feel free to inspire you with other tattoos (to be inspired is not to copy) to target the style you actually like, life is so well done that the internet is full of inspirations on Facebook, Instagram and others :p
In sum, you have everything at hand to extract a work of art of your original idea !
The essential basics
To spot a good tattoo, start by taking an interest in its features as well as its shades.
A line must be clear ! A shaky line will appear like an old ink smear on paper towel … think a minimum of your aesthetic. This point helps you feel the confidence of the professional who is tattooing you and you can very clearly read the intention of his gesture..
Concerning the shadows, we look directly at the fades. The idea is to bring a certain relief to the tattoo but be careful... very gently. “Fluidity” is the key word for successful shading.
Third significant basic element : la couleur, and more precisely, the intensity of it.
Everyone getting a tattoo wants to keep their work of art intact as long as possible...and that's normal. !
So now imagine that you intend to get a tattoo of a magnificent rose with light and soft tones., do you think it will really have depth ? Brilliance ? Certes, well done, she will undoubtedly be very cute… but you forget one detail, that of the age of your skin et de ink that will age Also, eeand yes !
Pigments, it loses sound glow so your tattoo too. So you can go for contrasts, values and depth 😉
Free information : A tattoo that is too small... will become a beautiful stain.
A good tattoo artist, PLEASE
Please, pity, don't neglect the choice of your tattoo artist ! How is it possible, en 2017 and with all the cards in hand, to get another tattoo of drooling dung ? This is not the subject of the article, it's true but still...
Be uncompromising, whether the artist has a private studio or a storefront you must :
- Learn about the artist and his work,
- Choose a tattoo artist whose style will match yours (the reverse does not work),
- Pay attention to the hygiene of the place,
- Make sure the professional gives you all the necessary information,
- Et surtout, do you feel
A real tattoo professional will be able to advise you from start to finish and will give careful follow-up to the work done. He will listen to your ideas, will provide you with the necessary adjustments and reassure you if necessary (bon, she is not a social worker, do not push :p).
And the best for the end, a good tattoo artist can also ... refuse your tattoo, avec une explication cohérente : votre demande ne correspond pas à son style, vous êtes fermé aux modifications nécessaires à apporter, vous … n’êtes pas très propre, …
Oui, cela peut arriver et être aussi la marque d’un bon tatoueur.
J’espère que cette liste, non-exhaustive, vous permettra d’arriver à un tatouage merveilleusement bien réalisé et dans les meilleures conditions 🙂
Et vous, vous avez des tatouages ? Partagez votre expérience, bonne ou mauvaise, en commentaire !
N’oublie pas que je vous parlais de toutes les questions que j’ai marre d’entendre en tant que tatouée
