Ask a tattoo artist a question
I will soon be getting a sleeve tattoo done and wanted to know, is it reasonable to expect the artist to have something drawn up before the appointment? I did my research and specifically chose this tattooist because of his portfolio, recommendations and his speciality in the style that I want. I made my appointment 2 months in advance but forgot to discuss the detail of previewing the work before my first session. I have now made a second appointment 5 days before so I can see it (although my faith in the receptionist isn't strong that he will get the message as to why I'm there), but am hearing from a few sources that I shouldn't "expect too much" and he may not draw anything until the day of my first session. Is having the artwork done before the appointment expecting too much? Or should I expect to sit for an hour or two waiting for him to draw the stencil of my sleeve the day of the first session?
