- Cleanliness and Hygiene: One of the first key factors to look for in a tattoo shop is cleanliness. The shop itself, the artists’ stations, and all used instruments should be clean, sterile, and properly set up before each session.
- Experience and Skill of the Tattoo Artists: Make sure that the tattoo artists are experienced, skilled, and capable of accurately realizing your vision. Look through their portfolios to assess their work and style, ensuring it aligns with what you want.
- Proper Equipment: A quality shop will have modern, well maintained tattoo equipment. This includes the tattoo machines, power supplies, needles, inks, and medical supplies.
- License and Certification: Every reputable tattoo shop should be licensed
