I have an idea for a tattoo I’d like to get for my cat when she goes to the rainbow bridge but I’m not sure how to best execute it. I have two tattoos but both of them are simple symbols so this is one is going to be more involved. I would just like to have the idea more formulated before finding the right artist.
If you’re wasting someone’s time, then yeah it’s frowned upon. If you can’t agree, or they can’t give you what you’re looking for, then no.
The reality is that if you find a good artist, whose style you like, there really shouldn’t be a reason to look elsewhere. That’s where you doing your homework on the artist comes into play.
I wouldnt go to my regular tattoos artist for some hyper realistic piece, because that’s not what he does.
