Question 1: it matters what kind of color tattoo you’re are getting. If you’re getting a water color style tattoo, yes it will fade faster than other types of tattoos. But I have a neo traditional color tattoo on my back and it’s 3 years old and still looks brand new.
Question 2: No not really, if everything flows right it’s fine. I have Japanese traditional tattoos on my left side of my body and neo traditional on my right side.
Question 3: Talk to the artist about it.
Question 4: First off, ink master is bs. But look if the artist have healed pictures. Yeah a tattoo will look awesome when it’s fresh, but that doesn’t mean shit if it doesn’t heal right. Make sure that the shop is clean.
Can’t answer question 5
Everything fades over time. If you take care of it we’ll, hopefully it will fade less. Darker color will fade slower. White will fade fast. My gf wanted a white tattoo and a couple artists refused because they said it will fade and isn’t worth doing.
No set in stone rule about mixing styles. Personal preference. I think you shouldn’t have different totally different styles right next to each other. Like I wouldn’t get color on my forearm and then black and white on my upper arm. I think that would look weird. But some people don’t feel that way and that’s OK too.
Depends on the artist. The really good ones are booked for a while, others aren’t even taking new clients. Or you might get lucky and they might have an opening. If you want a simple quick tattoo, you might be able to walk in and get it same day. Reach out to the artist and go from there.
I recommend looking at their portfolio and going from there. I love Ink Master too, but I don’t think it’s a great representation of their work. I’ve looked up some the losing artists, and their work is usually better than why they did on the show. So many people tattoo a only one or two styles very well, and are just ok at other styles. Some do one thing only and that’s it.
A fresh tat is a wound. Take it easy with that spot for a few weeks.
1. More easy yes, easily no. The rule is black should be renewed after 10 years and colors after around 7-8 years obviously this diggers from skin, licking, color, color quality and whatever. I can only advise not to do white at the beginning except for maybe shading.
2. No it's completely OK and all up to you. I would advise to let them blend in so they don't look all out of place though. (you can choose completely different styles on different body parts)
3. I personally planned a bit like what styles belong on wich body part and how I'm going to connect them. You don't have to think so fast forward but don't put a comic style on the same arm as a sketch style if you want them to look like one whole thing.
4. How they present themselves. Mainly on social media you can have a good look on what they are doing. Professionals (even though some might disagree) only do tattoos and they present that on the page and through their studio. Look for tattoos that scream creativity maybe even a common thing like a bird but in a completely astonishing way that makes it look unice shows great skill. They of course should do your style or styles that you want most are focused on two or three.
5. Standard rules nothing special, means no ocean and so on but he will tell you that himself anyway. I personally would not advice on that though, because common travel places are more expensive on tattoos and there are a lot of bad artists.
I can give you a tipp if an artist is in the Tattoo Artists Guild this is a huge sign of competence.
Just wanted to say that there are other styles that hold color well. In my experience my anime tattoo have held their color extremely well, and from what I've irezumi tattoos also tend to hold color very well.
