Tattoo artist

Tattoo artists create permanent body art, designing and applying tattoos to clients' skin. The work involves consulting on designs, creating custom artwork, tattooing with skill and precision, maintaining strict hygiene, and guiding clients on aftercare, combining artistry with a permanent, high-stakes medium.

They work in tattoo studios, often building a personal following. The role suits talented, precise, personable artists who can draw and tattoo to a high standard, put clients at ease through a sometimes painful process, maintain rigorous hygiene, and create lasting art that clients will carry for the rest of their lives.
