This Tattoo was a part of Andy’s full Japanese sleeve, it’s a great pleasure working with Andy, he gives me an idea and gives me the freedom artistically, and the opportunity to work with a good frame of mind is priceless. I believe the best way to get tattooed, is to choose the artist who you love their work, give an idea, and let them work with your idea. Sometimes , the tattoo mite not come out exactly how you were thinking, but it will come out better, than how you were thinking. As you let the tattoo artist work with a good frame of mind. Some clients are so specific, so fussy, which they have the right to, however, what they don’t realise is, the tattoo artist is so worried about their request, so they are not really gonna Work with a relaxed frame of mind, the more pressure you put on the tattoo artist, the more it affects the outcome of your tattoo. I say that because the best pieces I have done, has been on my easy going clients. Every tattoo I got, I trusted the artist to express their art on me, and I saved up for it, regardless the price, I flew to another country, I accepted how they work, and made it as easy as possible for them to tattoo me, because I wanted their art work on my body for the rest of my life, and I trusted them. And once you choose them to tattoo you, you should stick with them until the tattoo is finished, specially if you encounter issues with the tattoo, which it can happen, with healing specially, and when your tattoo is not finished, is not gonna look great, so you have to stick until the end result. You chose an artist, you stick with them, at least to complete that tattoo. In my opinion that’s the best way to approach getting tattooed.
