I’m just wondering how you guys find your artists. Do you have one artist that does all your tats, or are you a bit of a walking catalog for various artists?
The reason I’m asking is that I currently use instagram to find and keep track of artists, but I really don’t like the app all that much. Googling local shops also doesn’t always give me good results.
If you know of any good alternative methods other than wandering around a city and walking into random shops, let me know! :)
I see the other comments are mentioning instagram, and I'd like to add that if you see a tattoo in the wild that you like you can ask the person about it, and also ask the person for their artist's instagram and get it that way :)
