The internet is the tattoo artist’s friend – PART I

The good ole’ days of tattoo when the artist whipped out a ball point pen and sketched a design on your bicep then began the tattoo process have not completely left us…yet.


Anyone Can Use The Internet These Days
There is a new generation of tattoo artists out there who are digital age techies. They use their iPhone and Google Image to search for designs for clients. They will post their tattoos online using Flikr or FaceBook instead of taking their photos to the developer to make a hard copy.

The studio might display the tattoos in a digital picture frame on the studio’s counter, or possibly there might be an interactive portfolio or kiosk in the studio for the potential clients. Customers who get tattooed can see their own tattoo online, moments after the ink was put in their skin (all their friends saw their tweets)– and seconds later their friends are commenting on the work (possibly even making an appointment to visit the artist).
