How to vet a studio without visiting

No mapped studios in Langdon 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.

Langdon sits about 51° 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 Langdon

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

• Wear the right clothes. Easy access to the spot being tattooed, and nothing you love — ink stains don't wash out.
• Tip your artist. Standard practice, like any skilled service. Twenty percent is the usual benchmark for good work.
• Don't pick the scabs. Healing tattoos itch and flake. Picking pulls ink out with the scab and leaves patchy spots.
• Avoid the cheapest shop in town. There's a reason it's the cheapest. With tattoos you get exactly what you pay for, permanently.

The kind of studio that belongs here

Somewhere any passer-by could walk into for a consultation: a licensed studio with resident artists and visible portfolios. Not a pop-up in a bar back room, not a private home setup — a real shop with a real address.
