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 />
