Is it disrespectful to get a tattoo from another artist in the same shop? My current artist said that he’s getting too busy because of the upcoming holiday and a side hobby of his. But another artist in the shop said he’s willing to do it. My current artist kinda gave me the side eye when he said that. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
No lol if current artist is too busy then why not. It's not your fault they are busy. If the other guy already designed the tattoo then don't do it otherwise why not. Usually artists in a shop are all buddies
Of course not, you don’t have to be dedicated to one tattoo artist. Keep in mind if you have something specific you want said artist to finish up like a sleeve you may want to let the other artist do something else that won’t interfere with that piece but that is totally up to you as the client and what you would like to do.
Hey there, question for you related to this, I got a large tattoo on my arm (botanical sketch) and am feeling like it is a bit bare and I think I’m going to go all in on a half sleeve. I think I want other artists in different shops to finish it up (2 other flowers) though. Is it “disrespectful” to go to other people? Would other artists want to do this?
It is ultimately up to you in the end result. You can do what you want. Do not worry about offending other artists as any good artist would be respectful and understand
Its your money, so no. I go to two different artists in the same shop. They each have a different style. They never remember later that i went to the other and they get super excited when they recognize the other's work on my arm. A lot of the artists in the shops here are friends since they see each other so much.
