I always get asked "How do you make tattoo appointments?!" and I wanted to share the simple and easy ways I find my artists, contact them, and what to include and NOT include in our messages.
Let me know what you think!

as a tattoo lover with social anxiety i really appreciate how in-depth you went with the email examples. im looking to book my first tattoo and i had no idea what to do. this video helped me a lot!!!!
SAME I NEVER HAD ONE AND I'M SO SCARED
My main issue is all the artists I like, live on the other side of the frikin country
youre lucky, mine live on the other side of the world xD
Hey, tattoo apprentice here--I just wanted to add a tip from the opposite side of the conversation! If you want to get tattooed by an artist but don't know what tattoo you want, I would also recommend asking that artist if they have a "wannado" book or a bunch of designs that they would like to tattoo but haven't yet. This is a great way to ensure that you're getting some work that your artist is proud of and enthusiastic about.
A lot of artists I've come across have highlights on insta of designs theyve never done but want to
Thank you I'm a little frickin bean and have bad social anxiety so I like to know how to do things exactly
My subject line is always just "tatty" that way they know i'm a cool dude
LOL
onkativ nooooooo 🙈 good joke but omg
"Its breaking my heart. That it wont. FLUSH!" 😂😂😂😂
I have social anxiety and I'm bracing myself so hard for next week when I'm gonna go book an appointment. This was very helpful!
I would love to see a TTT about different tattoo styles :)
YES!! Sometimes tat styles are hard to keep straight!
yessss
I keep seeing your comments and it's scaring me and at first I thought your picture was graveyard girl but it's not and I'm confused😬
Your hair is the single prettiest thing I've ever seen😍😍
a good tattoo talk would be talking about different style/types of tattoos and maybe talking about their history
A+ advice on the keeping it professional, not personal. I've heard a lot of tattoo artists talk about how that's a downside the tattoo shows. They give people this idea that getting a tattoo is also a confessional experience, and it can make them super uncomfortable. Some people may be into it, but some aren't. Like my mom was getting a survivors ribbon with a couple of colors that represent different things, and I drew a quick doodle that was kind of muddied. So she asked the artist if he wanted to know what the colors were. Meaning "purple", etc. He thought she meant what they mean, and the look on his face was panicked! It was actually pretty funny.
huffle-pride my first tattoo was a suuuuper personal piece and i got really anxious thinking that i had to explain why i wanted it to my tattoo artist (because of the shows like kat von d and miami ink)... at the end, we talked about everything but the story behing the tattoo and everything went great 🙈
When you said "What are you doing Jan 22nd" I jumped haha I've got my appointment for my chest January 22nd
OMG this is the best video. I have been putting off making an appointment because of my anxiety and feeling out of my element. THANK YOU SO MUCH
i know this is an older video but this color eyeshadow looks so gorgeous with your green hair omggg
I watched several of your videos and today I went and got my very first tattoo! I found a great artist and did my research and it was an amazing experience. No pain! Clean place. Awesome guys and my tattoo turned out exactly as I imagined it! Thanks for taking time to make these!
I got a watercolor tattoo on the back of my leg, and I sent the artist about 5 pictures for reference and the size I wanted with only a few specifics. like I wanted sunflowers in a bouquet tied with a ribbon. when I got there for my appointment he showed me his drawing, we tweaked it a tiny bit, we mixed the specific color I wanted for my ribbon, I gave guidelines for what I wanted and then say do whatever for the watercolor I have no qualms about it as long as it looks cohesive. I now have a tattoo that I love, and a very good artist because I love his line work and I'll be going to him for my next tattoo that I get.
i do that for my watercolor tattoo in my ribs and now i already make a date for another
Ahh this is going to be so helpful for when I make tattoo appointments in the future! Thank you so much for making me feel less anxious about emailing my artist!
I love this video. It really made me less afraid of talking to these amazing artists and as soon as I live alone, I will try to get an appointment with an artist, I've admired for so long now. Thanks a lot!
Would you ever do a "My Tattoos" video where you show and briefly explain all of your tattoos? I would love to see all the beautiful artwork you have!
Oh my god, thank you so much for this! I want to get my first tattoo soon, but figuring out how to politely make an appointment for something new is always nerve-wracking for me.
Thank you for going into so miuch detail about it!
Omg you are awesome. I've been subscribed for awhile and your Tattoo Talk Tuesdays are so helpful! So thank you :3
I watched this right before making my appt and it was really helpful. I get such bad anxiety in those type of situations but this was super step by step and everything went really well!! Thanks qcknd x
This video was super helpful and as a fellow introvert, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Literally just filled my online form for my first tattoo for the tattoo artist I needed this 🙌🏽
I found this video awhile back and just wanted to say that it helped me. I am not traveling for a tattoo exactly but I did my research and found a great tattoo shop near where we will be on vacation later this year. I have already contacted them and made my appointment. Thanks!
I was looking forward to this all day
I asked you this on tumblr a few weeks ago. I'm so happy you made a video about it. this helped so much ☺️
I love tattoo talk Tuesday. I've literally been watching for 2 hours straight!
Your eyeshadow is poppin especially w your hair😍 super pretty!
I had to deeply explain to an artist once that I didn't want an exact copy of the art I brought in; I showed him what I liked and didn't like about it and asked him to design something. First time it was exactly the same. Second time it came out unique and beautiful but it was a nerve wracking experience for me. 😣
i love these, talking about tattoos is a fav and im always happy to have more info
I have watched so many of your videos and I just love watching you because how expressive you are and how you use your hands when you speak.
I've seen some artists actually say on their Facebook or Instagram pages what they want you to include in your email. Like whenever they open their books or have space available they'll make a post saying "email us for bookings and include this info in your email". It's really helpful.
Hi , this is odd programing and i just wanted to give you credit and want to thank you for helping me start my channel because you have inspired me. Iam making an appointment for my tattoo this Tuesday really stressed about my anxiety about it but you have help me go through with this meaningful tattoo iam getting . Iam going to start making videos again about what iam going through on this tattoo. Just wanted to thank you again , sorry about it being so long
The way the kitty purrs.....so cute!!
Honestly binging all of your TTT's, getting me all excited for my first tattoo haha
did u do it how was it i'm rly anxious aaaa
the plumbing part killed me
About to book my fifth tattoo appointment and always watch this video while writing the email even though I already know how to make an appointment lol
I get tattooed frequently, and I enjoy information videos like this just for another perspective! I look forward to these every week now! It gets me inspired. :'D ilu
her eye makeup is so good 😍😍😍
Wow right on time!!! I wanted to get my first professional tattoo this month :D thank you!! Also you look different in this video like extraaa extra gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much! You helped me keep my initial email simple and clean when I wasn't sure what to put.
I feel like such a stalker though if I find an artist I want to get tattooed by... Especially because if I just want a small quote or something. I don't think it's jazzy enough for a really talented artist...but still...I have trust issues just going to someone with a shop down the road or something you know?
+Irene Suhwon I would look up the artist and if their work is good and they're nice and you feel good talking to them, it's absolutely fine. Just make sure you feel comfortable around the artist.
SmilyLily1996 Exactly this. I went to a local shop and didn't really know what to expect. I went to get a simple thick line, and they were kinda like putting me down. I told my artist I was a little nervous since she asked me, and she told me 'thats like nothing lol you arent even getting any shading done'
As long as you like their work and you feel comfortable it will work out!
I actually recently had a friend from grade school come to me and was like "I hope this isn't weird or stalkery but I really like your work and have been watching the stuff you post a lot and I was hoping to get a tattoo from you." When it comes to any sort of art, not even tattooing, if a person is putting their work out there, they want you to look at it! They want people they don't know to contact them about it, to approach them asking for work, to like their stuff and broaden their viewership. Don't be afraid!! As long as you're serious about getting some work and aren't just wasting their time by talking about something you "might want but haven't actually decided yet" (to a tattoo artist, this is a red flag for someone who likes the idea of getting tattooed but will never actually come in to get anything) or asking a bunch of questions without actually offering them any business, most artists will be more than happy you contacted them. The most important thing you should do and the most helpful you can be as a client when you're looking to get tattooed is research your artist!! So you're doing the most important part right, don't be afraid to contact them c:
I love tattoo talk tuesdays!! can't wait for next weeks!
I love this video. It was so helpful with so many things.
I'm just about to book my first ever tattoo, so I'm rewatching all your TTT videos
I've been watching and enjoying a bunch of your videos today and then I learn you have a Joanna Newsom tattoo!! 😍 I got so excited when you mentioned it haha
oh wow! your makeup looks so pretty here!!
ur eye look in this is so good!!!!!
I absolutely love your hair style!! Would you possibly be able to do a tutorial on how you did your bangs?
oooh your kitty got so big
This is so great for people like me with anxiety, I need to know ALL the details and this is the shit
YEAH I'M SO SCARED
@@cyxx414 You can do it!!! Most tattoo artists are actually pretty chill in my experience
@@johanna-yay i am educating myself rn abt all the tattoo styles so i don't look like a complete idiot hahaha :D
@@cyxx414 lol relatable
Thank you!!!! Most useful tattoo video ever! I'd have 20 by now if I had seen this video earlier.
OMG YOUR CAT!!!!! Hahaha. This video was super helpful. So thank you! And the cat was an extra bonus :P
i love your cat it looks like the one that came to our house that we took in as kids
Thank you booking my first one and needed to know this info ❤️
Hey I have a question. I want my leg tattooed (from my foot to the middle of my thigh). I've already got my foot done but how do I ask the tattoo artist to design the whole tattoo before actually tattooing it on me? A lot of places have turned me down for asking them to draw the whole thing first. I just want to make sure it'll all work and flow together before hand since I can't make any changes once it's on me.
your hair is absolutely gorgeous
Most helpful video ever!! 💜💜
Rewatching as I make my first appointment!!!!
As part of an advertising strategy most tattoo shops are on facebook. It's a great way to reach people and usually they will message back quickly.
I've used Instagram to find quite a few artists. But if I'm looking for artists In a particular city I like to google shops in that city and look at their reviews from customers, and then go to their websites, check out their studio layout and description of artists and then I look the artists up on IG, if I like what they have on their website. And then I email. Also the more tat videos of yours I watch, the more tattoos I seem to get. Lolol. Next Tuesday I'll be getting my 12th tat in LA (1st time in LA!) and I'm stoked. Can't wait to see what you talk about next Tuesday. :) have a good week!
such a good video! super helpful as always :)
Hi, I have a question, if I just want to get a really simple tattoo like a symbol flying everywhere on the internet, is it necessary to go to a good tattoo artist? Or just pop in a random tattoo store and show the pictures? Thanks!
Watching because this year I want to travel to Cali to get my tattoo!
I’ve been waiting forever but wanted to wait until I turned 21!
ah I love you and this channel so much
I let out a pretty big awwww! When the cat appeared
what if you e-mail the artist and don't get a response? I sent an e-mail to the artist almost 2 weeks ago and she hasn't e-mailed me back. What do I do?
I know how to make a tattoo appointment, but I still could stop watching lol your my favv youtuber! ♡
I love your videos, you are the best, thank you!
Please refresh that video! That had been so cool 😍😍
this was extremely helpful, wish i saw this a couple days ago haha
SO so so so helpful! Thank you so very much!!
So like, I have 2 big tattoos one on my thigh and one on my ribcage and almost 2 years I decided it's time for another one my issue is I know exactly how I want it to look because I designed it myself. Is there any way to say that politely without disrespecting the artist?
Both my other tattoos were done by an old friend of mine and he designed both himself, even freehanding one of them with pen directly on my leg before actually inking it. Unfortunately I moved away and I have to go to a new artist who has a few pieces posted on his IG in a similar style i want this one to be in. Any tips on that?
How do I contact an artist in my area just inquiring their ideas and suggestions? Like showing them something similar to what I want, but still letting them know I am still doing research for artists in my area?
Wish I saw this video before getting my first tattoo..
I basically had an emotional email, made the appointment last minute and didn't do consultations before getting the tattoo. My tattoo artist also clearly liked black and white tattoos more than the color tattoo I wanted. I also didn't get a good connection with them. It sucks that it was my first tattoo and a big deal to me. But because of stupid unspoken rules of communication (despite my research on tattooing) that my first experience was bad. She even forgot to color the top bit of my compass.
Is it appropriate to ask for a price estimate, and how would I go about asking for that? I don't know the protocol. Thanks! :)
I want to start a leg sleeve and want this one guy to do it but I feel like idk what I’m talking about and they’ll know that. Just bc it’s my first tattoo.
I’m making an appointment for my first tattoo and the artist replied saying he makes the designs for the day of the appointment (so I would see the design on the day) which is quite common but I’m a bit hesitant as I’m such a perfectionist (really hate this trait) ...would it be rude to ask him for the design a bit more in advance? I do trust him and love all his work but I’m just a bit spooked on the idea of seeing it on the day and not liking it but feeling like I have to get it
I booked a appointment for a tattoo on my thigh.. Is changing the placement to my arm 3 weeks before the appointment rude?
what if you have a drawing or image you want done, do you attach the image to the email?
How can you ASK if you have like an selfmade sketch and want exact that sketch ?
how and when do you ask about pricing and if you need to give a deposit. Also how do you give a deposit to artists out of town? thank you!
Super helpful video, thanks so much!
what eyeshadow are you wearing in this video?! it's so pretty!!
I'm planning to get my first tattoo in August 2017, when should I email the tattoo artist? I don't know how occupied she is (she has about 100k insta followers). I'll have to travel to the artist so the timing is important what would you advise ?
I love that pillow to the right (your left)
How would you go about getting your first tattoo from someone far away? I'm wanting a tattoo and have searched far and wide, and the closest tattoo artists whos styles i really like are a day away. Bc of this, i won't be able to go into the shop for consultation. I don't have a spesific idea in mind yet, is it wise to just pick a flash and maybe change some aspects of it? Also, because my parents are very strict, i'll need a lot of info about the inks, other peoples experiences going to that place etc.. Can i ask former clients or would that be rude? And can i ask about info of their equipment in the email?
My artist moved to a different province and I want more scarifications. I already talked to him about it; asking if he was intending to come back as a guest at any point in the future and if I would know when by keeping an eye on his shops FB page. But I'm stressing out a bit on this. I like to give him a lot creative freedom so I'd like to give him plenty of time to think and sketch out my scar, but I don't want to harass him either. Do you think it would be okay to talk to him now or should I just tough it out and wait till he visits?
I've found artists before and I loved their work, contacted them about an idea for a tattoo to make an appointment and THEY DONT RESPOND.. it's super shitty when people turn away work and possible clients.
how to find an artist if you design your own tattoo does the artist's style still matter as much?
This video was so helpful!
I'm lost I don't know where to find a tattoo artist that does traditional work where I live 😕
Late to the party, but I go to that Tattoo / Hair shop for my hair. Hope you got an appointment with her, she's really nice :)
Oh good 😍 you need to do that make up look more often 😍
What eye shadow are you wearing
Hey Qcknd😄 I got my tattoo in New Orleans, but i live in Norway😒 What do i do?
I feel like tumblr can be a good place for finding good tattoo placements and sizes if that makes sense.
I am going to make my first tattoo appointment really soon so thanks. Also the artist I want to get tattooed by is on Ink Masters right now. Do you think I should email her like months in advance for an appointment?
Edit: lol I just realized this video is a year old. Whoops 😂 well if anyone's still here and has some advice hmu
i want a tattoo of something in a frame. I want the frame and what it holds to be two completely different styles... do i need to go to two different artists if i dont find one that specializes in both styles?
That would be a good idea. Or talk with the tattoo artist. Maybe he/she knows someone who can do it.
