 Why on earth would you want one that works from home?
Tattooists have by law to work in a licenced premises. That premises will be inspected for Health and Hygeine... unless they have a studio set up at home and the required legal documentation Id steer well clear.
Way too many Scratchers out there mutilating people permanantly in their own homes.
My advice would be to find a reputable high street studio, visit, check there work, ask to see finished work and customer reviews, a good artist will be happy to spend time discussing what you want and placement.
Good artists will have appointments and you may need to book and wait. If you can simply walk in and getwhat you want immediately ask yourself why they are not busy?
Good luck |

"The wait ones around Kent are booked up for ages an cost "
Remember that in the majority of cases you get what you pay for. This is very much the case for tattoos.
I good tattoo artist will have a waiting list. Why risk it with someone dodgy because you can't be bothered to wait?

Book and save up.
Scratchers can leave you with far worse than a naff tattoo, the risk of infection and disease to go with a poor piece of art that has to stay with you forever.
If you cant wait or afford it dont do it. |

and they cost because they have to pay for licences, correct equipment, premises etc..and if something does go wrong, your rights would be protected...why would anyone chose to go to someone who has none of that? completely stupid thing to do! |

There a reason why they’re booked up and cost...because they are artists not back house scratches.
Honestly you pay peanuts you get monkeys really! |

I travel a hour for my tatooist as she's the only one I trust. I'm planning a leg one and will go to her again. Excellent art work and I healed brilliantly. I had a dodgy tattoo that she covered. She's not cheap but this is something that's for life so it's worth waiting for |

I got my first tattoo from Mike at Wild Cherry in Tonbridge. They don't have much of a wait, but were still pretty good! |

You're best waiting. And nowadays you can bank transfer the deposit and pay a little in advance of your booking. That way when it's tattoo time it's not a massive amount at one time. |
