as a tattoo lover with social anxiety i really appreciate how in-depth you went with the email examples. im looking to book my first tattoo and i had no idea what to do. this video helped me a lot!!!!
SAME I NEVER HAD ONE AND I'M SO SCARED
My main issue is all the artists I like, live on the other side of the frikin country
youre lucky, mine live on the other side of the world xD
Hey, tattoo apprentice here--I just wanted to add a tip from the opposite side of the conversation! If you want to get tattooed by an artist but don't know what tattoo you want, I would also recommend asking that artist if they have a "wannado" book or a bunch of designs that they would like to tattoo but haven't yet. This is a great way to ensure that you're getting some work that your artist is proud of and enthusiastic about.
A lot of artists I've come across have highlights on insta of designs theyve never done but want to
My subject line is always just "tatty" that way they know i'm a cool dude
LOL
onkativ nooooooo 🙈 good joke but omg
"Its breaking my heart. That it wont. FLUSH!" 😂😂😂😂
Thank you I'm a little frickin bean and have bad social anxiety so I like to know how to do things exactly
I have social anxiety and I'm bracing myself so hard for next week when I'm gonna go book an appointment. This was very helpful!
I would love to see a TTT about different tattoo styles :)
YES!! Sometimes tat styles are hard to keep straight!
yessss
I keep seeing your comments and it's scaring me and at first I thought your picture was graveyard girl but it's not and I'm confused😬
a good tattoo talk would be talking about different style/types of tattoos and maybe talking about their history
Your hair is the single prettiest thing I've ever seen😍😍
i know this is an older video but this color eyeshadow looks so gorgeous with your green hair omggg
When you said "What are you doing Jan 22nd" I jumped haha I've got my appointment for my chest January 22nd
Would you ever do a "My Tattoos" video where you show and briefly explain all of your tattoos? I would love to see all the beautiful artwork you have!
A+ advice on the keeping it professional, not personal. I've heard a lot of tattoo artists talk about how that's a downside the tattoo shows. They give people this idea that getting a tattoo is also a confessional experience, and it can make them super uncomfortable. Some people may be into it, but some aren't. Like my mom was getting a survivors ribbon with a couple of colors that represent different things, and I drew a quick doodle that was kind of muddied. So she asked the artist if he wanted to know what the colors were. Meaning "purple", etc. He thought she meant what they mean, and the look on his face was panicked! It was actually pretty funny.
huffle-pride my first tattoo was a suuuuper personal piece and i got really anxious thinking that i had to explain why i wanted it to my tattoo artist (because of the shows like kat von d and miami ink)... at the end, we talked about everything but the story behing the tattoo and everything went great 🙈
Oh my god, thank you so much for this! I want to get my first tattoo soon, but figuring out how to politely make an appointment for something new is always nerve-wracking for me.
Thank you for going into so miuch detail about it!
I got a watercolor tattoo on the back of my leg, and I sent the artist about 5 pictures for reference and the size I wanted with only a few specifics. like I wanted sunflowers in a bouquet tied with a ribbon. when I got there for my appointment he showed me his drawing, we tweaked it a tiny bit, we mixed the specific color I wanted for my ribbon, I gave guidelines for what I wanted and then say do whatever for the watercolor I have no qualms about it as long as it looks cohesive. I now have a tattoo that I love, and a very good artist because I love his line work and I'll be going to him for my next tattoo that I get.
i do that for my watercolor tattoo in my ribs and now i already make a date for another
I watched several of your videos and today I went and got my very first tattoo! I found a great artist and did my research and it was an amazing experience. No pain! Clean place. Awesome guys and my tattoo turned out exactly as I imagined it! Thanks for taking time to make these!
OMG this is the best video. I have been putting off making an appointment because of my anxiety and feeling out of my element. THANK YOU SO MUCH
the plumbing part killed me
I love this video. It really made me less afraid of talking to these amazing artists and as soon as I live alone, I will try to get an appointment with an artist, I've admired for so long now. Thanks a lot!
I love tattoo talk Tuesday. I've literally been watching for 2 hours straight!
Ahh this is going to be so helpful for when I make tattoo appointments in the future! Thank you so much for making me feel less anxious about emailing my artist!
Omg you are awesome. I've been subscribed for awhile and your Tattoo Talk Tuesdays are so helpful! So thank you :3
I watched this right before making my appt and it was really helpful. I get such bad anxiety in those type of situations but this was super step by step and everything went really well!! Thanks qcknd x
I found this video awhile back and just wanted to say that it helped me. I am not traveling for a tattoo exactly but I did my research and found a great tattoo shop near where we will be on vacation later this year. I have already contacted them and made my appointment. Thanks!
Literally just filled my online form for my first tattoo for the tattoo artist I needed this 🙌🏽
i love these, talking about tattoos is a fav and im always happy to have more info
I was looking forward to this all day
I had to deeply explain to an artist once that I didn't want an exact copy of the art I brought in; I showed him what I liked and didn't like about it and asked him to design something. First time it was exactly the same. Second time it came out unique and beautiful but it was a nerve wracking experience for me. 😣
This video was super helpful and as a fellow introvert, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
About to book my fifth tattoo appointment and always watch this video while writing the email even though I already know how to make an appointment lol
Hi , this is odd programing and i just wanted to give you credit and want to thank you for helping me start my channel because you have inspired me. Iam making an appointment for my tattoo this Tuesday really stressed about my anxiety about it but you have help me go through with this meaningful tattoo iam getting . Iam going to start making videos again about what iam going through on this tattoo. Just wanted to thank you again , sorry about it being so long
Your eyeshadow is poppin especially w your hair😍 super pretty!
The way the kitty purrs.....so cute!!
I have watched so many of your videos and I just love watching you because how expressive you are and how you use your hands when you speak.
I've seen some artists actually say on their Facebook or Instagram pages what they want you to include in your email. Like whenever they open their books or have space available they'll make a post saying "email us for bookings and include this info in your email". It's really helpful.
I asked you this on tumblr a few weeks ago. I'm so happy you made a video about it. this helped so much ☺️
Honestly binging all of your TTT's, getting me all excited for my first tattoo haha
did u do it how was it i'm rly anxious aaaa
I get tattooed frequently, and I enjoy information videos like this just for another perspective! I look forward to these every week now! It gets me inspired. :'D ilu
Wow right on time!!! I wanted to get my first professional tattoo this month :D thank you!! Also you look different in this video like extraaa extra gorgeous!!!
I love tattoo talk tuesdays!! can't wait for next weeks!
I love this video. It was so helpful with so many things.
I feel like such a stalker though if I find an artist I want to get tattooed by... Especially because if I just want a small quote or something. I don't think it's jazzy enough for a really talented artist...but still...I have trust issues just going to someone with a shop down the road or something you know?
+Irene Suhwon I would look up the artist and if their work is good and they're nice and you feel good talking to them, it's absolutely fine. Just make sure you feel comfortable around the artist.
SmilyLily1996 Exactly this. I went to a local shop and didn't really know what to expect. I went to get a simple thick line, and they were kinda like putting me down. I told my artist I was a little nervous since she asked me, and she told me 'thats like nothing lol you arent even getting any shading done'
As long as you like their work and you feel comfortable it will work out!
I actually recently had a friend from grade school come to me and was like "I hope this isn't weird or stalkery but I really like your work and have been watching the stuff you post a lot and I was hoping to get a tattoo from you." When it comes to any sort of art, not even tattooing, if a person is putting their work out there, they want you to look at it! They want people they don't know to contact them about it, to approach them asking for work, to like their stuff and broaden their viewership. Don't be afraid!! As long as you're serious about getting some work and aren't just wasting their time by talking about something you "might want but haven't actually decided yet" (to a tattoo artist, this is a red flag for someone who likes the idea of getting tattooed but will never actually come in to get anything) or asking a bunch of questions without actually offering them any business, most artists will be more than happy you contacted them. The most important thing you should do and the most helpful you can be as a client when you're looking to get tattooed is research your artist!! So you're doing the most important part right, don't be afraid to contact them c:
OMG YOUR CAT!!!!! Hahaha. This video was super helpful. So thank you! And the cat was an extra bonus :P
her eye makeup is so good 😍😍😍
This is so great for people like me with anxiety, I need to know ALL the details and this is the shit
YEAH I'M SO SCARED
@@cyxx414 You can do it!!! Most tattoo artists are actually pretty chill in my experience
@@johanna-yay i am educating myself rn abt all the tattoo styles so i don't look like a complete idiot hahaha :D
@@cyxx414 lol relatable
Thank you so much! You helped me keep my initial email simple and clean when I wasn't sure what to put.
I'm just about to book my first ever tattoo, so I'm rewatching all your TTT videos
I've been watching and enjoying a bunch of your videos today and then I learn you have a Joanna Newsom tattoo!! 😍 I got so excited when you mentioned it haha
i love your cat it looks like the one that came to our house that we took in as kids
I know how to make a tattoo appointment, but I still could stop watching lol your my favv youtuber! ♡
oooh your kitty got so big
I let out a pretty big awwww! When the cat appeared
Thank you!!!! Most useful tattoo video ever! I'd have 20 by now if I had seen this video earlier.
such a good video! super helpful as always :)
Most helpful video ever!! 💜💜
oh wow! your makeup looks so pretty here!!
Hey I have a question. I want my leg tattooed (from my foot to the middle of my thigh). I've already got my foot done but how do I ask the tattoo artist to design the whole tattoo before actually tattooing it on me? A lot of places have turned me down for asking them to draw the whole thing first. I just want to make sure it'll all work and flow together before hand since I can't make any changes once it's on me.
ah I love you and this channel so much
ur eye look in this is so good!!!!!
I love your videos, you are the best, thank you!
I absolutely love your hair style!! Would you possibly be able to do a tutorial on how you did your bangs?
what if you e-mail the artist and don't get a response? I sent an e-mail to the artist almost 2 weeks ago and she hasn't e-mailed me back. What do I do?
Thank you booking my first one and needed to know this info ❤️
I've found artists before and I loved their work, contacted them about an idea for a tattoo to make an appointment and THEY DONT RESPOND.. it's super shitty when people turn away work and possible clients.
Watching because this year I want to travel to Cali to get my tattoo!
I’ve been waiting forever but wanted to wait until I turned 21!
your hair is absolutely gorgeous
I've used Instagram to find quite a few artists. But if I'm looking for artists In a particular city I like to google shops in that city and look at their reviews from customers, and then go to their websites, check out their studio layout and description of artists and then I look the artists up on IG, if I like what they have on their website. And then I email. Also the more tat videos of yours I watch, the more tattoos I seem to get. Lolol. Next Tuesday I'll be getting my 12th tat in LA (1st time in LA!) and I'm stoked. Can't wait to see what you talk about next Tuesday. :) have a good week!
Rewatching as I make my first appointment!!!!
this was extremely helpful, wish i saw this a couple days ago haha
SO so so so helpful! Thank you so very much!!
As part of an advertising strategy most tattoo shops are on facebook. It's a great way to reach people and usually they will message back quickly.
Wish I saw this video before getting my first tattoo..
I basically had an emotional email, made the appointment last minute and didn't do consultations before getting the tattoo. My tattoo artist also clearly liked black and white tattoos more than the color tattoo I wanted. I also didn't get a good connection with them. It sucks that it was my first tattoo and a big deal to me. But because of stupid unspoken rules of communication (despite my research on tattooing) that my first experience was bad. She even forgot to color the top bit of my compass.
Hi, I have a question, if I just want to get a really simple tattoo like a symbol flying everywhere on the internet, is it necessary to go to a good tattoo artist? Or just pop in a random tattoo store and show the pictures? Thanks!
Please refresh that video! That had been so cool 😍😍
This video was so helpful!
Super helpful video, thanks so much!
I want to start a leg sleeve and want this one guy to do it but I feel like idk what I’m talking about and they’ll know that. Just bc it’s my first tattoo.
I’m making an appointment for my first tattoo and the artist replied saying he makes the designs for the day of the appointment (so I would see the design on the day) which is quite common but I’m a bit hesitant as I’m such a perfectionist (really hate this trait) ...would it be rude to ask him for the design a bit more in advance? I do trust him and love all his work but I’m just a bit spooked on the idea of seeing it on the day and not liking it but feeling like I have to get it
love these vids
I feel like tumblr can be a good place for finding good tattoo placements and sizes if that makes sense.
what if you have a drawing or image you want done, do you attach the image to the email?
How do I contact an artist in my area just inquiring their ideas and suggestions? Like showing them something similar to what I want, but still letting them know I am still doing research for artists in my area?
So like, I have 2 big tattoos one on my thigh and one on my ribcage and almost 2 years I decided it's time for another one my issue is I know exactly how I want it to look because I designed it myself. Is there any way to say that politely without disrespecting the artist?
Both my other tattoos were done by an old friend of mine and he designed both himself, even freehanding one of them with pen directly on my leg before actually inking it. Unfortunately I moved away and I have to go to a new artist who has a few pieces posted on his IG in a similar style i want this one to be in. Any tips on that?
Is it appropriate to ask for a price estimate, and how would I go about asking for that? I don't know the protocol. Thanks! :)
I booked a appointment for a tattoo on my thigh.. Is changing the placement to my arm 3 weeks before the appointment rude?
How can you ASK if you have like an selfmade sketch and want exact that sketch ?
I'm lost I don't know where to find a tattoo artist that does traditional work where I live 😕
I'm planning to get my first tattoo in August 2017, when should I email the tattoo artist? I don't know how occupied she is (she has about 100k insta followers). I'll have to travel to the artist so the timing is important what would you advise ?
how to find an artist if you design your own tattoo does the artist's style still matter as much?
How would you go about getting your first tattoo from someone far away? I'm wanting a tattoo and have searched far and wide, and the closest tattoo artists whos styles i really like are a day away. Bc of this, i won't be able to go into the shop for consultation. I don't have a spesific idea in mind yet, is it wise to just pick a flash and maybe change some aspects of it? Also, because my parents are very strict, i'll need a lot of info about the inks, other peoples experiences going to that place etc.. Can i ask former clients or would that be rude? And can i ask about info of their equipment in the email?
The tattoo shop close to my house is amazing, but they only let you make an appointment if you pay 50$ in advance and pay the rest after the tattoo, the want people to pay 50$ in advance so that they know they'll show up and that they will pay afterwards.
They*
Annastasia Pitre Sounds fair I'd say (: a lot of Tattoo shops here in germany do it as well just because it already takes time and work for the artist to Design your Tattoo and if you don't Show up they've "wasted" time which they could've spent on someone actually paying and getting tattoed (:
MilasLittleLife I didn't say it was unfair
Sounds fair is a saying:
"Something seems to be just or reasonable."
my comment was in no way meant to criticize yours
how do you go about asking for prices? sometimes I feel rude asking for their price details and blindly go get tattooed. mostly because I'm not sure how to ask.
+nuzlea f I don't have any tattoos (yet) so this may not be the right way.. but asking if they have an hourly rate or specifying the size of tattoo you want, and asking for a price estimation seems fine. I think she's answered this before in other videos, unless you're haggling for a cheaper price, it's not rude. :)
+itscarolinemary I have tattoos and have never haggled an artist, (I didn't even know ppl did that since it's super rude) but it's still something I struggle with. on account of how awkward I am. but generally, I would like to hear how Amanda, a person who is heavily tattooed, deals with this topic.
+nuzlea f I'm pretty heavily tattooed and most of mine are done by the same guy. I am very lucky that I've been getting tattoos since the beginning of his career and I have gotten grandfathered into his old prices. normally i book a day and in the beginning i've asked 'how much for a complete day', he never charges more then that. sometimes its less then half. recently he tattooed my mom and i and gave us a really good deal the tattoo wasn't super in depth or anything but still i really thought that was nice of him. but i always always always tip him after every session. and i tip him well. but even if it was someone new i would go 'how much time should i book and what are you looking at for price', i never haggle either. when you think about it it's not just the time they're tattooing you but they're doing a lot of work outside of the studio coming up with ideas for your tattoo and prepping too.
I would just ask the hourly rate and then how much time they think the tattoo will take
+nuzlea f It deppends on the tattoo artist status. A local artist would give you a price with the appointment I guess. An artist with more reputation may email you back with the price per session or per hour of work. A super duper to high class artist will make you choose an stimation of the money you are willing to spend, not less than 1200$, and will make an stimation which eventually can end up being 500$ up or down that price.
It's for sure something complicated, most artists don't really know how much they are going to charge until they finish the tattoo, because it's hard to plan how long it's going to take. My best advice would be to always think it's going to be more expensive than the stimated price, that way you won't be in trouble.
What eye shadow are you wearing
how and when do you ask about pricing and if you need to give a deposit. Also how do you give a deposit to artists out of town? thank you!
My artist moved to a different province and I want more scarifications. I already talked to him about it; asking if he was intending to come back as a guest at any point in the future and if I would know when by keeping an eye on his shops FB page. But I'm stressing out a bit on this. I like to give him a lot creative freedom so I'd like to give him plenty of time to think and sketch out my scar, but I don't want to harass him either. Do you think it would be okay to talk to him now or should I just tough it out and wait till he visits?
Late to the party, but I go to that Tattoo / Hair shop for my hair. Hope you got an appointment with her, she's really nice :)
I love that pillow to the right (your left)
how can you tell if an artist's tattoos are prone to fade
