  3. Person reviewing artist responses on their phone

    03Compare and consult

Start with your tattoo idea

An example of what you could see after sharing one idea.

“I'm looking for a blackwork botanical tattoo on my forearm, around 6–8 inches. I'm based in Los Angeles, have a budget of $600–900, and would love someone calm and collaborative. Ideally sometime in the next two months.”
