So as someone who works with my artist regularly- there’s a reason they don’t do this normally.

They don’t send pics because they don’t want you taking their work to another shop. That’s time and money they’ve put into the work.

Usually they’re absolutely happy to work with you in design in person day of.

Personally- my regular artist is Kristen at Kindred Spirits Tattoo in Garfield. She’s absolutely amazing and has done a pet memorial tattoo for me before. A toy poodle named Angel to be exact. She did a stellar job and she’s so dang life like, it’s like her photo is on my arm!
