Tattoo - the ancient phenomenon, accompanying the person almost all its cultural history. Primitive tribes tattooed pictures - tattoos on the skin as a talisman, as well as proof of membership in a particular tribe. In the Middle Ages tattooing was considered a pagan ritual, and the tattoo was banned, but despite this tattoo culture continued to develop. In 1762, the famous explorer James Cook discovered on the island of Tahiti in the Pacific Ocean tribes of natives, who decorated their bodies with unusual designs. This procedure was called "Tatua" by the natives. Later, sailors who had visited the islands of Polynesia carried the Tahitian art across the ocean.
Over the years and centuries, the popularity of tattooing has only grown. At the end of the 19th century, tattooing became popular even among the upper classes in England. In the U.S., tattooing was in demand among sailors and military, as well as among bikers. And, by the way, in Russia the first tattoo salon was opened in 1905 in St. Petersburg. Nowadays, tattooing is perceived as a part of a person's everyday life, but also as an avant-garde movement in art and fashion.
We can confidently say that in the city of Yekaterinburg Pitbull-Tattoo is the best tattoo parlor. Yekaterinburg is a city that keeps up with the times. And in our salon we guarantee quality, safety and brilliant result! The founder of tattoo studio Pavel Tarasov invites you to the salon tattoo to get acquainted with the most ancient phenomenon in human culture.
But first, let's talk about what you need in order to get a tattoo.
How to choose your master
Basic criteria for choosing a professional
- Decide on the style in which you would like to perform the tattoo.
- In search of a tattooist, try reading reviews on the Internet, talk to acquaintances who did not so long ago a drawing on the body in your city. As a rule, a serious and experienced master has a portfolio that allows you to look at his work. If the photos of completed works you can not provide or there are very few of them, you should think about another candidate.
- While examining the photos of the master's tattoos, pay attention to the style, complexity of design, quality and fineness of outlines. Important indicators - the saturation of colors and combination of colors, the volume of the picture and its reliability and proportionality, the presence of shadows and shadows. Please note if there is a subject of interest to you among these works. It is possible that a specialist is excellent at drawing animals, but not necessarily that he will do a portrait just as well.
- If you are determined with the candidate, it is worth first to communicate with the master in person, to inquire about his experience. A professional will definitely answer all your questions, tell you about how the customer's safety is ensured, dispel doubts, give advice, including the choice of design and the place where the tattoo is applied. It is good, when by the answers of the tattoo master, you have a feeling of trust to him. Otherwise, you should continue your search.
- A true master of his craft is able to put your words and wishes into a sketch on paper. A tattooist who only copies ready-made drawings and cannot create his own can hardly be called a professional. A good artist will offer to supplement the finished layout with his own ideas, he will not just copy someone else's. Find out if the specialist works only in one style or if he is able to work in all directions.
- A good experienced tattooist does not necessarily work in a salon or studio. Maybe he just wants to work for himself. The eliteness of the institution does not guarantee high professionalism of his staff. In case you have chosen the master at home, it is very important to make sure that all safety criteria are fulfilled by him - only disposable consumables are used, sterilization and disinfection are carried out.
How to detect a bad master
There are several criteria by which you can identify a bad, unprofessional master. If you know them, you will never fall for the person who will not only disfigure your body, but also can provoke a variety of diseases.
- If such a "master" uses alcohol to disinfect needles, it is better to refuse his services altogether. The reason is not that alcohol is a bad disinfectant, but that needles must be strictly disposable. Repeated use of needles can cause diseases - infections, hepatitis, and even HIV.
- If the master does not want to provide examples of work, then, most likely, he does not have them or he is a very weak specialist.
- Do not do tattoos in resort towns - in these settlements gather amateurs to create full-fledged partaks. They profit from gullible tourists and vacationers. And since such "specialists" are tour operators, they do not care about their reputation.

What to consider when choosing a tattoo parlor
- Ask what official documents the establishment has, whether its activities are legal. If the salon operates illegally, then there is a risk that at any time it can close, which means that there will be no one to bring to justice in case of poor-quality work performed or a threat to the health of the customer.
- Visit the official website of the salon or a group on social networks, if they exist, read the information available there. Read reviews from visitors to the institution, preferably using thematic forums or communities. On specialized sites for reviews, there is a risk of encountering "made-to-order" negative comments.
- An important detail, who meets you in the salon - a special manager on communication with clients or master, who has to simultaneously answer the phone, fill the site and thematic group in social networks and type pictures. In a self-respecting firm the tattooist does not have to deal with anything else but his direct work: the organizational issues are solved by another specialist.
- Trying on the sketch is an obligatory procedure for a good establishment. After all, in the process of refining and supplementing the picture its size can change.
- After acquaintance with the master, final approval of the future tattoo design, clarification of all questions is made a contract in which parameters of the work are fixed, taking into account your wishes and the price of the work. If this document is not planned to be signed by the parties, it is better to look for another institution.
- Sterility, and hence the safety of the customer - one of the fundamental issues, which implies the use of disposable needles, gloves, paint containers. Ideally, the master should take the needle out of its sterile packaging in front of you, and after finishing the job, throw it away in a special container. Paints must be poured into disposable caps, which are disposed of along with the remains of the ink. The tattooing and tattooing machine is used for multiple use. In the process it is wrapped in cellophane. Needle holders are processed after each customer. If all your questions about safety and treatment of tools cause irritation in the salon, you should not go there. A good establishment will understand your doubts and concerns and tell you how they care about the safety of their visitors.
- The atmosphere and ambiance of the salon, the style of its design are also some of the main factors in choosing a place for a tattoo. Within its walls you have to spend a few hours, and if you are uncomfortable and uncomfortable here, you should think about finding another firm.
The best tattoo artists of Yekaterinburg work not only in salons
It is necessary to understand that a good tattoo master Yekaterinburg or any other city, works not only in a professional office. He can also receive in a private office, organized even in a personal apartment. And there is nothing extraordinary or unusual about it. Because true professionals, geniuses of their craft can work almost anywhere.
However, it is extremely important that private tattoo masters and studios in Yekaterinburg adhere to sanitary and hygienic requirements. These include:
- Sterility of the room and equipment, furniture;
- The use of disinfectants;
- the use of special barrier protection;
- the use of disposable needles and gloves;
- use of caps for mixing paints, which will be later disposed of.
Compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements will protect you from possible health problems. And they can be very significant if such rules and regulations are violated. We are talking not only about trivial irritations, but also the probable entry of infection, infection with hepatitis.
So be sure, again, to pay special attention to the conditions in which the master works.
