Placement is everything!!
Where would you put this tattoo?

Love when I get to bring unfinished tattoos (not by me) to life… ✨

The calm before the creativity begins 🧘🏻‍♀️

Any guesses what this design is?

A little reminder for both clients and artists. 🤍
I’ll be honest, I really didn’t want to share this.
This isn’t my work, and my intention is not to name or shame another artist. Every artist starts somewhere, and we all continue learning throughout our careers.
The only reason I’ve decided to post this is because I think it’s an important educational moment. As artists, we have a responsibility to protect our clients, and as clients, you deserve to know what to look for before trusting someone with your skin.
As I started working on this piece, I became more and more concerned. The more I looked, the more issues I uncovered uneven and shaky linework, inconsistent depth, and excessive trauma to the skin.
What really broke my heart was hearing my client tell me how painful the experience had been. Tattooing isn’t supposed to feel like you’re fighting through unnecessary pain because of poor technique. While every person’s pain tolerance is different, excessive trauma caused by incorrect depth or machine control is something that can and should be avoided.
Posts like this are never enjoyable to make. But if sharing one real example helps even one client ask more questions before booking, or encourages one artist to seek more education before taking on work they’re not ready for, then it’s worth having the conversation.
Tattooing isn’t just about creating beautiful art, it’s about responsibility. Every time we put a needle to someone’s skin, we’re asking them to trust us.
To my fellow artists: know your limits. Keep learning. Ask for help. Invest in education if you need it. There is absolutely no shame in growing your skills before taking on certain work.
To clients: please don’t choose an artist based on photos of fresh tattoos alone. Always ask to see healed work, look for consistency, read reviews, and make sure the artist’s portfolio reflects the style you’re after.
Thankfully, this is a piece I’ll be helping my client restore, and I’m looking forward to giving her the result she originally hoped for.
Let’s continue raising the standard of our industry through education, honesty, accountability, and genuine care for
