How to go about getting large scale tattoo work done..
When getting large tattoos it is important to understand the time put into this, for clients inquiring about getting large scale work here is a few things you should know. When getting a full sleeve you are looking at a minimum of 30 hours, depending on design you could be looking up to 40 hours or more. I recommend coming in at least once a month until finished, this keeps the artist inspired and keeps the tattoo looking fresh. Rather than coming in once a year and having to do touch ups, this costing you more money! When starting a large tattoo I recommend saving for at least a quarter of the tattoo, and coming in frequently and giving your self time to replenish your savings so you can come in often.
In reality when you start your first tattoo session I have already put in 5-10 hours into preparation for your piece, and I have not been paid for this. Thats not a bad thing, as long as you the client respect the artist and the work, so you are dedicated to the practice of saving money and getting tattooed frequently. Most of my clients set at least 2 or 3 appointments when they are ready to start there first session to keep the ball rolling. The practice of tattoo is both the client and the artist responsibility to dedicate there time and full effort into creating a unique piece of art. By applying this energy to your tattoo just gives you a better tattoo and a great experience. Hopefully this will be helpful for anybody wanting to start a large tattoo.
