10 Tips Before You Get Your First Tattoo With Tattoo Artist Romeo Lacoste

About this video

Weston and guest tattoo artist Romeo Luke discuss essential tips for getting your first tattoo, covering design consideration, artist selection, communication, aftercare, and practical day-of advice. They emphasize the importance of thoughtful planning, finding the right artist for your style, maintaining open collaboration, and following proper post-tattoo care to ensure a quality result.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that thinking through your tattoo design and placement thoroughly before getting inked is crucial—avoid impulsive decisions made under the influence or on a dare, as they rarely result in good outcomes
• Weston recommends researching artists on Instagram to find one whose portfolio matches your desired tattoo style, then communicating with them beforehand to ensure you’re on the same page and establish a collaborative vision
• Weston emphasizes that proper aftercare following your artist’s specific instructions is just as important as the tattoo itself, and that being under the influence during the procedure impairs judgment and thins blood, leading to poor healing
