Who is a "tattoo artist"?

A tattoo artist is a skilled professional who specializes in creating permanent or temporary tattoos on the skin. They possess artistic talent and technical expertise in using tattooing equipment, such as tattoo machines and needles, to apply ink into the skin to create intricate designs. Tattoo artists work closely with clients to understand their tattoo ideas, provide guidance on design choices, and ensure a safe and hygienic tattooing process. They prioritize cleanliness, sterilization, and proper aftercare instructions to promote the healing and longevity of the tattoo.
