HOW TO GET YOUR FIRST TATTOO...WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU WANT!
FIRST TATTOO HELP
You’ve always been drawn to them.
You’ve seen your friends gitty with excitement. You’ve wondered, “Why can’t I seem to find the right design for me.”
You look and you look. Nothing seems to hit quite right. Even AI can’t help get it there for you. “If I could just find the right image, then maybe I’ll get my first tattoo.”
The truth is, it may not be out there…yet. Lucky for you, we’ve done this before.
It boils down to 4 options.
I CAN ASK YOU TO DO WHAT??
You know roughly what you want, but you can’t find an exact image. This is a great opportunity for a custom tattoo. Bring us your pictures and tell us what you like and don’t like. We can redraw, alter, or invent your design to your specifications. If you live close by, a free in-person consultation can usually answer all your questions and get you set up for success.
YOU’VE BEEN DOING THIS THE WHOLE TIME??
If you know you want a tattoo, but don’t know what to get at all, don’t worry! There are plenty of options. We are always making tattoo designs. Tattoo flash is like our message in a bottle. We take our years or experience and our individual tastes to come up with something we think would look rad as a tattoo.
Maybe you’ll think it would be rad too. It’s not what you were thinking but you “ZING”. All of sudden it’s part of you and you couldn’t imagine it not being there. It’s always been there, like David in that block of marble.
SPREAD THE LOVE
In addition to our own home grown flash, we also carry designs from some of the best tattooers in the world. A lot of tattooers sell the flash they’ve made in sets to other shops and artists. We like to pick up flash sets both old and new to have on hand. The designs can be done as is, or we can use them as a seed to grow a new one. We get lots of inspiration from tattoo flash. Maybe you will too.
THE TRUTH IS…
If you’re not finding something that you really connect with, maybe getting a tattoo isn’t right for you at the moment. Maybe that will change, maybe it won’t. Tattoos aren’t for everyone. Sometimes you just have to follow the path to see for yourself. And that’s ok.
We love when people come in just to look. Go and check out your local shop and imagine if you could see yourself sitting there getting tattooed. Look at their designs. Ask lots of questions. Get a vibe. Start small. Once you get the first one, the others seem to magically fall into place a lot faster and easier.
If you’re interested in our artists guiding you down the path for your first tattoo, you can set up a consultation here. We can meet in person or virtually to talk over your ideas and see if we can come up with a direction. This is usually the fastest and most efficient way to get the ball rolling.
