How to vet a studio without visiting

No mapped studios in Aldergrove yet, but the research works the same anywhere. Start with portfolios: a studio's recent work should be easy to find online, and healed photos matter more than fresh ones. Then check the basics — licensing, single-use needles, a real shop address. A consultation costs nothing and tells you everything about how the place runs.

Aldergrove sits about 49° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter's the classic tattoo season: fresh ink stays covered and out of the sun while it heals, and nobody's tempted by the lake.

Red flags travel well too: no visible portfolio, prices far below everyone else, pressure to decide on the spot, or vagueness about sterilisation. Any one of those is a walk-away.

Tattoo smarts for Aldergrove

No mapped studios yet, but the vetting skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Avoid the cheapest shop in town. There's a reason it's the cheapest. With tattoos you get exactly what you pay for, permanently.
• Wear the right clothes. Easy access to the spot being tattooed, and nothing you love — ink stains don't wash out.
• Aftercare is half the tattoo. Follow the artist's instructions, not your friend's. Keep it clean, keep it moisturised, keep it out of the sun.
• Sun is the enemy of fresh ink. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
