Please share your experience in getting a tattoo


I'm currently working on a project to develop an application for the tattoo community. What are your pain points? what did you like? What aspect would you change?

i'd say that the pain points in the process are more on the artist's side. other than the obviously irritating experience of the actual art going into skin.

* Getting spammed with price requests without any real data - tell them what kind of art - Size - placement - time constraints + leave out the silly "meaning" stories behind your choice

Scheduling things months out (for non street level tattoo artists anyway)

Cancelations, sudden openings in schedules because of said cancelations..

Emergency reschedules due to unforseen circumstances... family emergencies, customers showing up drunk or high, customers leaving "fluids" (vomit, urine, feces) all over their workstations...

The experience as a customer was pretty simple for me, but I did my research - knew what to look for / ask before during and after... Knew the aftercare.

“Pain points”? This IS about getting a tattoo...
