I just wanted to write and thank you again for the absolutely beautiful job you did on my tattoo... thanks for taking the time to work with me to find exactly what I wanted, and for creating the drawing ahead of time... I absolutely love it and I truly could not be happier.
Keep it simple, ``Nice ink'' ``Love your tattoo'' etc.
A skilled tattoo artist should be able to listen carefully to your ideas, provide feedback, and offer guidance on what will work best for your body and skin type. They should also explain the tattoo process, from design development to aftercare, so you know what to expect.
Be Specific: Instead of vague compliments like ``Good job,'' highlight specific aspects of their work. For example, ``I love how you used so many bright colors in your painting!'' or ``The way you drew the tree's branches shows great detail!'' Focus on Effort and Process: Emphasize the effort they put into the artwork.
A simple “I like your tattoos.” or “nice tattoos.” would do, and it'll give you enough time to watch them without the risk of looking, as you said, like a weirdo. You don't have to know someone to be able to complement them.
You made my first tattoo experience a great one, and I am so very thankful. The art work is fantastic, and you're a doll. Should I decide I want another tattoo, I will definitely come looking for you! Thanks again for the amazing job on my tattoo, it's the most well done thing i have on me.
1 “I was immediately drawn to this piece.” 2 “This is so beautiful.” 3 “All the hard work you put into this piece really shows!” 4 “Your work always brings a smile to my face.”
Tell the artist the tattoo style you want.
“I was hoping to get this design in a black-and-gray realistic style.” “I think this tattoo would work really well as a color new school piece.” If you want the specific style that your artist specializes in, you don't have to mention it in your email.
If you don't know what to offer as a gift for your tattoo artist, go with music. That's an evergreen idea for a gift. Find out what they're listening to and buy them a vinyl or a CD. It's personal, and they will surely appreciate it.
A tattoo artist specializes in the application of permanent designs and artwork on the skin. They use specialized tools, such as tattoo machines or handheld needles, to insert ink into the dermis layer of the skin, creating a lasting design.
But, I think a good general rule of thumb if you like someone's tattoos is just to say that; a simple, “Hey, I like your tattoos,” will usually suffice. If they want to go into further detail, they will. If not, take the hint and leave it as a nice compliment.
We recommend bringing or emailing photos of the objects or themes you want in your new tattoo to your tattooist. Google image search is perfect for this, as are the Tattoodo inspo archive! You can bring images from other tattoo artists, but only to explain what sort of style or aesthetic you're going for.
Be Mindful of Your Tone
Be mindful of the artist's feelings and deliver your feedback using language that conveys your respect for the artist's effort and creativity. For example, instead of saying, “This part is awful,” you could say, “I think this section could be improved by…” Patricia Miranda conducting a critique.
Guidelines for writing appreciation letters:
State what you appreciate and briefly explain why. Do not add other news or information not related to the appreciative gesture. The message of appreciation should stand alone. Be brief, warm, and sincere.
Begin your email by introducing yourself and expressing your interest in their work. This helps the tattoo artist get to know you and understand your design idea better. You can mention how you came across their work and why you believe they would be the right artist for creating your tattoo design.
Bear: A bear tattoo shows strength mixed with a pinch of wisdom. It's the ultimate mark for peeps who protect what's theirs and stand tall even when going solo feels like the only option.
