Here's Something Most People Don't Realize About Picking a Tattoo Artist

It might seem difficult to pick a tattoo artist, especially if you are new to the tattoo scene, aren't super particular with your style, aren't certain of the styles you like, or aren't very artsy and visual. Learn more about picking a tattoo artist.

While some tattoo artists are definitely specialists in a single style and don't, won't, or can't do other styles, that is not the case at Solana Tattoo Company, Fort Collins, Colorado. Here's what we mean.

This is a quick screenshot of Olive's Instagram home page. It's filled with colorful tattoos, many leaning heavily into American traditional style.

But a closer look at Olive's story reveals significant diversity in her black linework, with delicate, fine lines. It's nearly the opposite of the style of tattoos she posts on her page. The reason? She really loves bold, bright-colored tattoos. But that's far from all she can do!

Just like you don't want to judge a book by its cover, don't judge a tattoo artist by what they post on their page. If you vibe with someone's energy or your schedule lines up with an artist who doesn't seem to post the style you are looking for, simply ask! Can they do your type of tattoo? Do they have examples? The answer is very likely yes, because diversity in art is a high priority at Solana Tattoo Company.
