No patience? Why do you have to wait so long for a tattoo appointment?

In this article, you'll find out why you have to wait so long for a tattoo appointment and what you can do in the meantime to best prepare yourself for it. Because: A tattoo may not be an easy decision and it is important to take time when planning.

How long do I have to wait for a tattoo appointment?

Waiting time for a tattoo appointment depends on many factors, including tattoo style, artist popularity, and demand. Some artists have so many inquiries that they have to plan for several months in advance. If you're very flexible about the date and time, this could slightly reduce your waiting time for a tattoo.

One of the reasons for the long wait is that tattoos take a lot of time, tattoo artists are trying to satisfy their customers and want to provide the best service possible. For this reason, only limited appointments can be accepted so that every customer really gets the time they need to get their tattoo done carefully and together with their tattoo artist.

Another reason for the long wait time is that some customers prefer special styles and large, unusual designs. Sometimes this requires several sessions and appointments must be found at the right intervals.

There are 17 different tattoo artists working in our tattoo studio who specialize in different tattoo styles. Depending on which style you are interested in, we can recommend various tattoo artists. Since we work with so many different tattoo artists, our waiting time is usually not that long. Just book a non-binding initial consultation with us and we will be happy to advise you on various tattoo styles and our tattoo artists.

How do I prepare for my tattoo?

Although waiting long times for an appointment can be frustrating, you can use the time to create the design. Don't forget: Your tattoo will last forever and it's worth thinking carefully about every aspect!

If you do your research online, you'll find lots of inspiration. The most popular sources include Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, and Google Images. Take a look at galleries or play with different colors, sizes, and designs. You can also try out various tools and programs to get your Tattoo motif to outline. In this blog article, we have described how to find your perfect tattoo design.

To make sure that your tattoo looks exactly as you imagine it, it's important that you discuss your subject in detail with your tattoo artist beforehand. Perhaps you already have a detailed idea or even pictures that you can bring with you. This can help us understand your wishes better and approach your tattoo correctly. Take enough time to plan your desired motif as precisely as possible.

Basically, we also recommend thinking about the part of the body where your tattoo should be placed. Size and placement can play an important role in choosing the motif. Also remember the durability of the tattoo, because some parts of the body hold better than others. Of course, you can also talk to your tattoo artist about this in peace and get expert advice. If you have any questions about tattoo designs or already have specific ideas, then you can find a Free and Non-Binding Appointment Book with us for an initial consultation.
