In the tattoo business, being a good tattoo artist calls for a lot of skill and commitment to giving utterly the best kind of art which can rival others. The fact of the matter is, not everyone can become exceptional tattoo artists. The ones that have already made it in the business, such names as Carolina Mansur, Rob Goodkind, and Tim Derose, have that something that makes them each tick and become the best that they are. So don’t let anyone fool you that desire alone is all that you need to get in the game. That said, what makes us stand out from the rest?
We Have a Deep Understanding of Art
Tattoo artists must have a clear and deep understanding not to mention an appreciation of art. That is the reason they are called artists. Having an understanding of art goes hand in hand with passion and talent (skill). Having these traits will give you the ability to pull off incredible ink art. However, as much as you have the skill to be on the pedestal of success, learning about art takes time, patience and practice.
You especially need to have a sound and creative mind and couple this with putting down your sketches on paper trying to make it as unique and appealing as possible. Some artists go to such extents of sculpting out their ideas into physical 3D models to portray a clear design. If you take up the challenge of learning about art, you can do frequent research from different books or take art classes to start you off. In good time, you just might be able to ink skin perfectly just as we do.
Keen attention to detail
Professional tattooing entails attention to detail, and a great artist keeps into account all the details that are especially in the art. They pre-sketches his design prior to the actual session and makes sure that all the required details are included in the design and to avoid misapplication and smudging of colors. Maintaining close attention to detail also means that you mix your inks well, adhere to the procedures that safeguard the customer’s hygiene and wellbeing plus a lot more where this comes from. Being a good tattoo artist means that even if you have hundreds of customers who are ever waiting in line for your service, you can still maintain absolute and undivided attention.
