How do you find new artists? (beehaw.org)

Hi!

I’m just wondering how you guys find your artists. Do you have one artist that does all your tats, or are you a bit of a walking catalog for various artists?

The reason I’m asking is that I currently use instagram to find and keep track of artists, but I really don’t like the app all that much. Googling local shops also doesn’t always give me good results.

If you know of any good alternative methods other than wandering around a city and walking into random shops, let me know! :)

Yes, most artist use Instagram as their portfolio, but you might be able to find a link in their bio or in the page of the studio they work in to the their websit where you can also see their work.. if that helps at all

Instagram is pretty much the tattoo artist yellow pages.

Its the only reason I had the app in the first place. Deleted it and only access Instagram on desktop now

I see the other comments are mentioning instagram, and I'd like to add that if you see a tattoo in the wild that you like you can ask the person about it, and also ask the person for their artist's instagram and get it that way :)
