How to find the best tattoo studio Manchester
In this article, I would like to cover the truth about how to find the best tattoo studio that suits you, educating you, how to best find your artist by the quality of their work, and not by fake reviews and many other false methods tattoo studios use in order to get business nowadays.
Back in the day, the most successful tattoo artists were the best artists, and that’s how it should be, nowadays with the rise of social media, paid traffic and the increased number of tattoo artists, tattoo studios feel like, they have to go an extra mile to impress you, and to get your attention, including, telling you lies, and making them sound like the best tattoo studio on the planet.
In this article, I’m going to teach you, how to recognise red flags, when a tattoo studio is talking the talk, but not walking the walk.
- Top rated tattoo artists in Manchester- Do not fall for reviews online, most of them a fake. If you see a tattoo studio with too many fantastic reviews, stating, they are the best studio in the city or in the country, this is not true. Good artists don’t need to let people know they are good, you can see that for yourself. They are getting other people or paying for over the top reviews like that. The saddest thing about tattooing nowadays is, tattoo studios getting really famous really quickly, and they have over 500 reviews within months, and it is all a lie. Specially when tattoo studios are not owned by tattoo artists, they only see the business side of it, and throw loads of money on fake reviews. The only review you should consider, is your own interpretation of someone’s quality of work.
- When Tattoo studios rate their own work- When tattoo studios do their work, they should put it online, and let the clients or the tattoo fans rate it for themselves. If you see a tattoo studio, or artist, post their tattoo online, and say,” look at this awesome tattoo” That’s a red flag. That means they are so desperate for your attention and business, that they are even trying to think for you. I believe, every client, should have the freedom, to rate, enjoy and choose whatever artists they resonate with.
- Award winning Artists- Do no fall for award winning tattoo artists, I will explain to you why. I have been tattooing for 15 years, and there are so many tattoo conventions nowadays. Some are very respectful, some are not. A lot of tattoo conventions are not full of high quality tattoo artists, and it’s a lot easier to get a trophy. I have seen artists, entering in a tattoo competition, and winning an award, because there was not many entered tattoos in that category. I even heard of some tattoo artists paying for their awards. The only tattoo convention in the UK, that I would respect if someone got an award, would be “The London Tattoo Convention” that tattoo convention is amazing, and you can only work there if you are invited, and I guarantee, all the artists who win awards at the London Tattoo convention, they do not need to advertise themselves as award winning artists, because, their work speaks for themselves.
- An amazing artist let the work speak for themselves- The real professional tattoo artists do not let you know how amazing they are, you can see that when you look at their work. The real tattoo artists, are deeply focused on their work, so they have no time, to tell you lies in order to get business. In order to do amazing work, it requires a lot of personal life sacrifice, a lot of dedication, and not every tattoo artist is willing to pay the price. So instead of being focused on their work, they tell you how great they are online, pay for fake reviews so they can spend all night playing on PlayStation and watching Netflix, while the real tattoo artist, will spend most nights painting and drawing, in order to become a better artist, and give you a better tattoo.
- How to find the best tattoo artist Manchester- First I would have to explain, what the word tattoo artist really mean. The word “Tattoo Artist” means, who is art focused outside of tattooing in order to bring that artistic knowledge to the tattoo craft. So in order to be a professional tattoo artist, it takes a lot of dedication, however, not everyone is willing to put the work to it. So in order to find a real tattoo artist, check their art gallery. Checking if a tattoo artist has drawings and paintings, it will assure you that, their skill will be greater, and you will get more body flow on your tattoo, than a tattooist who does not draw or paint.
- How to judge a tattoo work in Manchester, and make the right choice for me- When looking at someone’s tattoo work, is very important to notice that, most tattoos online are not what you really see in real life, nowadays, artists can do a lot of light tricks, and camera tricks in order to make their tattoo look outstanding, so their tattoo has the wow factor, and drag you to their studio. Looking at someone’s tattoo work fully healed, that is the moment of truth, healed tattoo work, really shows you how good an artist is. So asking the artist you are considering getting tattooed by, to look at images of their tattoo work, or even, ask them to see a client in person, that would give you the real information, in order to make a personal choice about your tattoo artist.
