How to find a good tattoo studio.

Find one that's closed, they're the best and the cheapest ....OK, I'm leaving..........
Do you remember Lyndsay ? Firecrest ?
She is a superb realistic artist, but that doesn't pay the bills since that's not the flavour of the times.
Trained as a tattooist.... you might contact her and ask ? I know she hasn't been on the forum for a while, but I wonder if she is still on the Facebook ?
Her email might still get through to her as well.

If they offer walk in appointments, don't go there. Good studios will have a bit of a wait time.
Try starting a conversation here; if her old email is still active she'll get a notification.

Why on earth would you even want a tattoo????
I know it's your body, and you can do what you want with it, for what my opinion is worth , (probably nothing) I think women with tattoos are not beautifying themselves one bit. It looks ugly to me. But, as I say, it's your decision.
If you do go ahead, make dam sure you won't regret it later on in life. Good luck finding something you are comfortable with, but I have seen some women who realy regret what they have done, and needing remedies which are larger still tatoos to cover up the mistakes.
Think carefully before you go ahead. You can't go back. And it's painfull!
Perhaps try some temporary ones before you decide.
I once decided to get one, tried a temporary one, and after a week, I was realy glad I could scrub it off! It looked stupid, and I've never liked or wanted one since.
I'm not even keen on male ones.
But each to their own, its almost a free country!

I have a few tattoos and like them, so as you said it’s definitely each to their own. Only person who has to like it is yourself.
It doesn't happen often, but I am in almost complete agreement with what Woody girl says!
I have known friends, colleagues and acquaintances with tattoos ranging from a young lady at work with a stunningly good, airbrush illustration quality, mountain lion on her thigh, to guys at martial arts with poorly chosen Chinese characters that didn't actually say what they thought that they said. Quite a few seem to have enjoyed getting tattoos because they are not entirely at ease with themselves, not comfortable in their own skins.
It is definitely a big decision since it can be with you as who you are changes over time. What might seem a good fit now may not be so good in 20 years.

I have seen some that are brutal, and some that are truly beautiful, that fitted both the 'canvas' and the person.
I think it's very much a personal choice.
I would recommend though that perhaps having a temporary one painted on (and that's not a cheap option to do it well) would be a very sound idea though.
Consideration is a good thing

No don’t do it, after a week you will wish you chose something else. Then the sagging issue a friend got one on his back shoulder when a teen, now a bit lower.

Sagging?

I don’t understand - but that’s not unusual.
