Not AI chatbots or a receptionist or an artist new to the craft, talk to someone real that knows.

With decades of industry insight and a passion for good decision-making, Tattoo Ready is your personal guide through a process that’s equal parts art and identity.We have been actively tattooing and involved in all aspects of tattooing for nearly 40 years on 4 continents, we know what we are talking about. What works, what lasts, what is classic and timeless and what is a bad idea that should be avoided because it will fail as a permanent tattooo. We also have an agenda, and that is to promote good tattooing in a positive light and help people get the tattoo they deserve that will look great and last them a lifetime.

No pressure. No jargon. Just smart advice.
