Tyranicorn's Tattoo Tips, Tricks, and General Advice
Over the course of the years of tattooing, my clients have asked me a lot of interesting questions about tattoos. Everything from tattoo ideas I like to do, how to plan out a tattoo sleeve, what to think about before getting tattooed, and tattoo aftercare instructions. My FAQ section is filled with a bunch of general information about getting tattooed by me. This section, however, is going to be dedicated to getting tattooed by anyone, anywhere. Think of it like a blog for clients to read-up on for general tattoo advice from a tattoo artist.
