How to get a great tattoo<br />
A great tattoo makes life better.<br />
Whether you’re getting tattooed to<br />
celebrate one of life’s milestones, to share<br />
an experience with your best mate or to<br />
simply wear a beautiful work of art that’s<br />
yours forever, you want a tattoo you can<br />
wear with pride.<br />
You want a tattoo that makes you happy.<br />
With such an important decision, you<br />
need to trust your skin to the right artist.<br />
But how do you know?<br />
Start with the studio. You want<br />
an environment that makes you feel<br />
comfortable. Inside the bright orange<br />
building on Greers Road, Jolly Octopus<br />
Tattoos is a warm and comfortable place,<br />
with lots of natural light and<br />
warm wood. They’re a kind and<br />
friendly bunch who are happy to<br />
see you.<br />
The best way to get a feel for<br />
a studio environment is to drop<br />
by and have a look. See what you<br />
think. Another way is to check out<br />
online reviews – see what other<br />
people have to say about their<br />
experiences.<br />
Next, think about style. You want<br />
your body art to look a certain<br />
way: traditional style or realism,<br />
Ta Moko, black and grey, Mandala,<br />
watercolour, anime – the only limits are<br />
your imagination.<br />
The Jolly Octopus has eight great artists<br />
to choose from. That way, no matter what<br />
style of tattoo you’re after, they can make<br />
sure you’ll work with an artist who will<br />
knock it out of the park.<br />
Finally, the last important step to getting<br />
a great tattoo is trust.<br />
You’ve found a studio that feels<br />
welcoming and comfortable. You’ve got an<br />
artist who does beautiful work in the style<br />
you want. Now, and sometimes this can be<br />
the hardest part, you’ve got to trust your<br />
artist.<br />
Communication is key. The artists at<br />
The Jolly Octopus want you to get the best<br />
tattoo of your life. Be honest and open<br />
with them – you’re in good hands. To<br />
make sure you get just what you’re after,<br />
your artist will even sit down with you for<br />
a free consult so you can plan your perfect<br />
tattoo together.<br />
A great tattoo is both a great piece of art<br />
and a great memory. The Jolly Octopus<br />
will give you both.<br />
