How to Choose the Right Tattoo Artist for Your Style

Thinking about getting a tattoo but not sure which artist to go to? You’re not alone. Choosing the right tattoo artist is just as important as choosing your design — and we’re here to make that decision a little easier.
Here’s how to find the perfect artist within our shop to bring your idea to life

1. Know Your Tattoo Style
Before choosing an artist, take a moment to think about the kind of tattoo you want. Every style has its own vibe — from bold Traditional and detailed Realism to soft Fine Line and classic Japanese. The good news? You don’t have to look far.
Browse the portfolios on our website to explore a wide range of styles, all done in-house by our team. This way, you can see the real work, real healed results, and find the artist whose style truly fits your vision.
Tip: Don’t just pick based on one cool design — look for consistency in their work and alignment with what you want.

2. Read the Artist Bios
Each artist at My Tattoo has a unique background, specialty, and vibe. Some focus on delicate, minimalistic pieces, while others are known for bold, large-scale work. Get to know their strengths by reading their bios and what styles they specialize in.
This can help you match your idea with the right skill set — and set realistic expectations for how the final piece will look.

3. Check Availability and Location
We have studios in both Alhambra and Huntington Beach, and some of our artists work at both locations on different days. Check their availability and where they’re based to make your consultation and appointment more convenient.
All artist profiles list their typical workdays and studio location.

4. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask
Still not sure? Reach out to us directly or send an inquiry to a specific artist. Even if you’re not ready to book, we’re happy to answer questions and help guide you to the right person.

Final Thoughts
Getting a tattoo is personal — and who you choose to work with can make all the difference. Take your time, explore our artists’ work, and don’t settle for “good enough.” Whether you’re looking for bold Japanese back pieces, hyperrealistic portraits, or tiny minimalist tattoos, we’ve got someone here who can do it right.
