Navigating the Tattoo Industry
Contacting your Artist
Artists are eccentric as a rule, even the most grounded ones.
It is always best to check their website or artist page to see how they prefer to be contacted.
This will make sure communication between you and your artist is fluid.

Consultations
Free or Not?
This varies from artist to artist and even sometimes shop to shop. In general, most consultations are free.
In general, a tattoo artist should want to meet you prior to doing your tattoo.
This is a good way for both of you to see if you’re a good fit before money exchanges hands or your book a tattoo appointment.
At Ink Alchemy, consultations are completely FREE.
TO Tip
or Not to TIp?
It is considered standard by 99% of tattoo artists.
However, you should not feel obligated to tip if you were treated poorly, made to feel uncomfortable, or a tardy, or frequently absent artist.
The tattoo should be done well REGARDLESS of a tip. Tip because you felt you were treated well, above and beyond being a client.
Ink Alchemy considers tipping to be 100% voluntary and at the client’s discretion.
