I love giving as much free rein to my tattoo artist as possible.
Hey all! I just wanted to put this out there as I have been called a unicorn of a person for doing this and I find it interesting. I want to give as much free rein as possible to my tattoo artist as possible and I wonder why more people don’t do it. I find a tattoo artist that I like the style of, is close (ish) to me and tell them what I don’t want (people or man made things) and let them have fun. If they want colour, add colour, if they can find a space on my arm and that’s where they want it, go for it. There are the more obvious spots that I won’t have it (I.e. face) but again, pretty open to it. I just find that it allows the artist to show more of their creativity and they do better work. If I like your stuff, why worry about the rest? What are you’re thoughts on this?
