How to choose your master
In order to find a specialist who can meet your expectations, you will have to do a good search. What to consider in the process of searching:
- How to build contact with the masters. A good specialist will not only quality your desired tattoo, but also will help you to make the right choice, to protect you from the rash decision, which you will regret later, and will be able to offer an interesting alternative. It is not necessary to agree on the first offer and choose because of convenience or politeness (availability in price, suitable addresses, studio location near the subway, the long experience of the master, a well-known firm, and other similar arguments);
- Whether the master pays attention to the safety and sterility of the equipment used in his work;
- Negative and positive reviews on the Internet. Today, advertising is very easy to pay for, so it is worth carefully looking for real reviews on third-party resources, not on the company's website. It is desirable to find not only written reports, but also photos of the result obtained;
- The experience of friends and acquaintances. There is bound to be a person who has a tattoo among them, who can give contacts of his master or, on the contrary, to warn against visiting a salon;
- Portfolio and qualification of the master. As a rule, today these data are widely represented not only on the official site, but also in groups in social networks (for example, VK and Instagram). There you can find links to profiles of people to whom the master you are interested in did tattoos and if you wish, communicate with them. Such information will help to understand, which master will be suitable for your purposes and will be able to realize your plans;
- Technique and style. It is difficult to find a "universal" master. Someone is strong in ethnic drawings, someone perfectly makes portrait tattoos or creates black-and-white gothic masterpieces. Decide what you are more interested in and choose the master that suits your style;
- Length of time the salon or studio is open. Most salons in St. Petersburg opened in 2009, when the public interest in this art form and people began to actively decorate their bodies. If you go to a newly opened salon, remember that there is a great risk of becoming a victim of non-professionals;
- The staff turnover in the salon. Ideally, it should be minimal. As a rule, the specialists of the studios that have been on the market for a long time, have been working for years with the same composition, only sometimes admitting and teaching talented newcomers.
All of the above criteria are important, but nevertheless the first point should be considered as key and basic. It is important not just to find his master, but "his man" with whom there is an understanding. He will help to make a correct choice, qualitatively will realize your joint idea and will give recommendations how to take care of your tattoo, in a word, will do everything that you will come back again, wishing to continue.

How to communicate with a master
There are simple rules for communication with a master. Adhering to them, you will be able to choose a true professional. However, you should understand that masters hate long discussions. They only want specifics:
- What kind of drawing you want;
- What size it should be;
- On what day you want to come.
Conciseness, brevity, but also politeness. Just like in any other situation, though. The rules of etiquette should be observed everywhere. Even if in front of you a brutal, huge tattoo artist - he also likes polite people!
Don't ask for free work
Tattoo master SPB will not do the job for free. For one simple reason - it is his work, not just entertainment.
For example, you have discussed the terms of cooperation, told what kind of drawing you want. The master is preparing a sketch for you. After that you should not even try to ask the master to send you the finished work. Because this immediately causes suspicion - most likely, the master will consider you a cheater, who wants to get a drawing for free. Even if it's not true and you haven't thought of anything like that.
So in order to get a sketch, pay for it first. And then already do what you want - either come to the same master for the transfer of the drawing on your body, or look for another specialist who can do this work.
