How do I know a tattoo shop is legitimate?

tattoo shops should adhere to the state defined or city defined health protocols and have proper licensing. Legitimate tattoo shops prominently display their up-to-date license to operate, are happy to provide tours of their facilities, show you their workstations, the tools they use and their process.

Professional shops are clean, well lit and often smell like a doctor’s office. Before picking a tattoo artist, review their portfolio, watch them work, take notice of how they sanitize their work area and conduct themselves with clients.

Finally, it never hurts to ask about the shop’s awards, professional affiliations or other credentials.
