Picking A Tattoo Shop Moncks Corner

By Rebekah Alford


Steps to make finding the right tattoo shop Moncks Corner are few and simple. It is important to choose the artist who will do quality work for you. Even more important is that your artist follows the correct health requirements and the shop is clean. One more thing many people seem to ignore is to never negotiate and try to pay less than what the work is done.

A tattoo is skin art. Choose a design that you like enough to wear for the rest of you life. It requires a skilled and experienced operator. So take time to find the right one. Make a list and visit the shops. Once there look at the photos of the artist work. If they do not have one, you do not know what you will end up with so walk away.

How clean is the shop? Look for dust, clutter, debris on the floor, work stations, counters, and even in the chair where you will sit. Getting a tattoo is like having minor surgery done. The area in which it is performed needs to be clean with sterile instruments used.

Cross-contamination is a real concern while having skin-art work done. If safe methods are not being used, it is possible for organisms transmitting AIDS, Hepatitis B and C can be introduced into your body. Protect yourself from someone else's blood or serum.

Here are major things to look for. The artist should remove single-use needles from their pouch in front of you just prior to work beginning. Plastic cups should be new when work begins and the ink should be poured into them before work starts. Also, if they have to be refilled, the top of the ink bottle should never touch the cup.

Gloves should be worn by your artist at all times and removed every time they touch something that is non-disposable. It is also important that the artist use single-use sterilized needles. That is the only way you can be sure the only skin and blood it touches is yours. The artist should also change gloves every time they touch anything that is not your skin. These precautions are in place to prevent cross-contamination.

You are going to get what you pay for. A flower tattoo that you bargained for a low cost is going to end up looking like a blob of ink, and not even a nice blob at that. If the pattern or picture you want placed on your skin is more than you can afford, save for it. Also tip the artist when they are finished, just as you would a server in a restaurant. Artist usually only keep a percentage of what is paid for the work or receive an hourly rate and rely on tips for their livelihood.

Picking a tattoo shop Moncks Corner and getting the skin-art you are proud to wear, keep these things in mind. Compile a list of artist to do the work. Visit them and the shop they work at. Check for cleanliness and healthy, sterile work area. Do not bargain hunt. Tip the artist. Enjoy the experience.
