Relationship Between Customer & Tattoo Artist
Hello everyone! In today’s blog, I’d like to dive into the relationship we aim to cultivate between you, our valued customer, and us, the tattoo artists at Vadelma Tattoo. Our primary goal is to create tattoos that are not only beautiful but timeless – tattoos that you and we will be proud of for years to come. And to achieve this, we need to work together. It’s a partnership, a shared journey, and we’re all on the same boat, sailing toward harmony and beauty.
Where Do We Begin?
The journey starts when you discover Vadelma Tattoo. If our aesthetic resonates with you, the process of deciding to get a tattoo with us begins. It might take you a day, a month, or even years of following us before you decide to book an appointment. Regardless of how long it takes, we want to make sure that when you decide to get a tattoo, it’s a thoughtful decision. That’s why we follow an appointments-only policy—we want to avoid spontaneous tattoos, especially ones made on impulse or after a few drinks. Tattoos are an art form, and we approach them with the respect they deserve.
Your First Contact with Us: The Initial Email/DM
“Thank you for your message!” That’s our usual response because without you, we wouldn’t be here. We’re always grateful for every message we receive. So, what should you include in your inquiry? The more detail you can provide, the better. Think of it like telling a story. A little backstory behind your tattoo can really help us understand your vision.
For us, the most crucial details are:
- Tattoo Placement: Knowing where you want the tattoo helps us design it appropriately. A design for a forearm will be different from one intended for the ribs. Body shape, curvature, and available space are all factors we need to consider.
- Size: Size is key for proportion and scale. A large tattoo requires a different approach than a small one, and getting the size right before your appointment helps us avoid last-minute changes that might require a redesign.
A Simple Drawing Can Help
One tip I always share with clients is to send a photo of your body with a simple drawing or sketch of your idea. You don’t have to be an artist! Even a rough sketch gives us a much clearer understanding of what you’re envisioning. Think of it as going back to childhood—grab a marker, sketch on your skin, and send us a photo. It’s a fun and personal way to make the process feel more special. If you’re not comfortable drawing on your skin, feel free to use a photo editor to sketch the design on a picture. No pressure—just something that helps us align our creative visions!
Tattoo Day: The Exciting Session
After we’ve discussed your design, it’s time for the tattoo session! You’re probably excited, and so are we. To help you prepare, we have a detailed guide available on our website, which covers all the essential steps before your session. It’s important to come prepared, so we can focus on creating a fantastic tattoo.
What Happens Next?
Once your tattoo is finished, the real work begins — healing! You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your tattoo heals well. The healing process is crucial for how your tattoo will ultimately look. Don’t underestimate its importance!
If, after a month, you feel like the tattoo could use some tweaks—whether that’s making a part darker or adding more detail—just let us know! Tattoos are made on living skin, so it’s natural for some parts to heal differently. If that happens, we’re happy to help with a touch-up, which is not a bad thing! Touch-ups are part of the tattooing process and not a reflection of poor work. In fact, in the permanent makeup world, touch-ups are standard practice. So, if you notice something that needs adjustment, don’t hesitate to send us a picture and we’ll work together to make it perfect.
In Conclusion
At Vadelma Tattoo, we view each tattoo as a collaborative project. It’s not just about what we do for you—it’s about what we can achieve together. By sharing your ideas, your thoughts, and your stories, we create tattoos that are meaningful, timeless, and truly unique. Remember, we’re here for you, even after the session, to ensure that you’re absolutely in love with your tattoo.
Thanks for reading, and we look forward to working with you to create something amazing!
Much love,
Simon
