CHOOSING YOUR TATTOO ARTIST

Getting a tattoo is an exciting and deeply personal journey. Whether it's your first piece or an addition to your growing collection, finding the right tattoo artist is crucial. At BANQ Studios, we understand the significance of this decision, and with our variety of artists specialising in different styles, we're here to help you make the best choice. Here’s a guide to ensure your tattoo experience is nothing short of exceptional.

Identify Your Style


Before diving into the search for an artist, it’s important to have a clear idea of the style you want. Tattoo styles range from traditional, realism, and watercolor to geometric, tribal, and neo-traditional, among others. Spend some time exploring different tattoo styles online or in tattoo magazines to pinpoint what resonates with you. At BANQ Studios, our artists excel in a wide array of styles, so knowing what you want will help narrow down your options.

Research Artists and Studios


Once you have a style in mind, start researching artists who specialize in that particular style. Check out their portfolios on their websites, social media platforms, and review sites. Look for consistency, quality, and attention to detail in their work. Pay attention to healed tattoos, as this indicates how their work stands the test of time. BANQ Studios proudly showcases the portfolios of our talented artists on our website, making it easy for you to find a perfect match.

Read Reviews and Testimonials

Client reviews and testimonials offer valuable insights into an artist’s professionalism, cleanliness, and overall customer service. Look for feedback about the studio’s atmosphere, the artist’s demeanor, and how they handle client consultations and follow-ups. At BANQ Studios, we are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and professional environment, as reflected in the positive feedback from our satisfied clients.

Schedule a Consultation

A consultation is an essential step in the tattoo process. It’s your opportunity to discuss your ideas, ask questions, and get a feel for the artist’s personality and approach. Bring reference images and be open to the artist’s suggestions—they can offer valuable insights based on their experience. At BANQ Studios, our artists are more than willing to spend time understanding your vision and providing professional advice to bring your tattoo ideas to life.

Consider the Hygiene Standards

Tattooing involves breaking the skin, so hygiene is paramount. Ensure the studio follows strict sanitation protocols, including the use of disposable needles and equipment, proper sterilisation methods, and a clean workspace. At BANQ Studios, we adhere to the highest hygiene standards to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients.

Assess the Artist’s Communication Skills

Clear communication is key to a successful tattoo experience. Your artist should be able to understand your ideas, offer suggestions, and explain the process thoroughly. They should also be responsive and approachable, making you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. At BANQ Studios, our artists pride themselves on their excellent communication skills, ensuring you feel heard and understood from start to finish.

Trust Your Instincts

Ultimately, choosing a tattoo artist is a personal decision. Trust your instincts—if something feels off during your research or consultation, it might be best to explore other options. At BANQ Studios, we strive to create a positive and trusting relationship with each client, ensuring you feel confident and excited about your tattoo journey.
