What this blog is about
On the Sagma Tattoo Gallery blog, our artists answer the questions they hear most often at consultations: how to choose a placement and size for your first tattoo, how to prepare for a session and how to look after your skin while it heals.
We write about what we see in our work every day: how a tattoo changes over time, why details are worth planning in advance and when an old piece is better covered with a new one.
Can't find the answer to your question? Message us. An artist will advise you on your particular case, and you can discuss your idea in person at a free consultation at the studio.
