Tattoo tips for George Town
A few things worth knowing before you work through George Town's tattoo shops:
- Don't drink the night before at Pitt's Tattoo. Alcohol thins the blood and makes you bleed more, which pushes ink out. Arrive sober and hydrated.
- Cover-ups need a specialist. Not every artist does good cover-ups. Look for healed cover-up photos in the portfolio, not just fresh work.
- Small first tattoos are smart. Your first session teaches you how your skin takes ink and how you handle the pain. Start modest.
- Check the sterilisation setup. Single-use needles, sealed ink caps, gloves changed constantly. A good studio is happy to show you; a bad one gets defensive.
