I’ve been asked many times what someone should look for when trying to find a good artist. The best way you can do this is to look at their portfolio, whether it’s in a book at their shop or online. If they don’t have good work in their portfolio, they’re probably not good artists.
The shop may be clean, the people there might be nice, and the design they draw up for you might be exactly what you want, but if your artist doesn’t stand up to the points listed above, then you’re going to get a bad tattoo.
It’s okay to walk into a shop, talk with an artist for a while, and decide you don’t want a tattoo from them. Even if the artist has a bad attitude about it or tries to convince you to just let them do it, remember this is going to be on your body for the rest of your life.
tbh every time I hear the expression “alt-left” I have half a second where I think they mean lefties with cool hair and tattoos and piercings instead of tie-dye and bierkenstocks and it makes me really sad that’s not actually what it means
I’ve wanted to get these @metric lyrics on my body for a long time. An essential part of healing, after being hardened by trauma, is learning to be soft again – and we live in a world that makes that incredibly hard. In a world where we have to steel ourselves against daily social violence in the forms of misogyny, racism, transphobia and other forms of institutional oppression, it is my form belief that self-care, healing and radical vulnerability are forms of political resistance ✨🌿✨ #healing #selfcare #trauma #resistance #staysoft #staytender #radicalvulnerability #radicalselflove
