Design Consultation
Category: art
A brief meeting where the artist and client discuss the tattoo concept, placement, and size.
The consultation is the chance to align on the vision. Artists love reference photos, but they prefer them as inspiration rather than something to "copy exactly." A good consultation establishes trust and sets expectations for what is achievable.
Common Examples
- During the design consultation, the artist explained that the specific detail level I wanted wouldn’t work at that small size.
- A thorough design consultation is the best way to ensure both parties are excited and aligned before the actual tattooing date.
