First and foremost: style.
Like other artists, tattoo artists often specialize in a specific genre. For example, some do portraits, others do just black, some do geometric work, fantasy etc. etc.
It's even more important for larger pieces. Once you get an idea, look at their portfolios. Everyone has an instagram or similar nowadays. Then schedule a consultation, chat with your person and see if you vibe. Larger pieces will be multi-session so keep that in mind if you'll have to travel.
-------------------- ...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge. It is an indellible experience; it is forever known. I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27. ...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely. Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

Just eat hot peppers instead. You get an even better pain rush and only look like a jackass temporarily.

frankly I just talk to them until I determine if they are an asshole or not. but until recently I had only had black work done, which I suppose anyone can do or not But I dated MFA chicks in college so I sorta understood the theory behind technique......
