Travel Tips for Traveling Artists

Oh, look at you, out here on a big trip...So Where are you going? The further ahead you decide where you’re traveling to, the more you can set up before you get there. Here’s a few tips:

First tip - Start hashtagging your pics with the place you’re going before you go. For example, if you’re going to New York City, hashtag your pics #NYC, #NYCtattooartist, #Newyorktattoo, shit like that. Use your imagination or look up the popular hashtags for that area.

Second tip - TAKE DEPOSITS. Do not give anyone the ability to waste your time. That’s not even a travel tip, that’s just good advice. You’re welcome.

Third tip - How far are you going? Long trips can be rough on your body, which is already beaten up from hunching over in your chair tattooing all day. Long flights can seriously dehydrate you, drink a ton of water and avoid alcohol until you get there and settle in. Try not to interrupt your sleep schedule (if you keep one). Not getting enough sleep and water can lead to bad decisions and you not doing what you need to do the way you need to do it.

There you go, stay sharp kids!
