How do you find new artists? (beehaw.org)

Hi!

I’m just wondering how you guys find your artists. Do you have one artist that does all your tats, or are you a bit of a walking catalog for various artists?

The reason I’m asking is that I currently use instagram to find and keep track of artists, but I really don’t like the app all that much. Googling local shops also doesn’t always give me good results.

If you know of any good alternative methods other than wandering around a city and walking into random shops, let me know! :)

Mostly I'm also using Instagram to find Artists that I like, some other Tattoos happend quite spontaneously.

Maybe another way would be to look at webpages from expos / events in your area (like e.g. Kaiserstadt Tattoo Expo) where various artists that are coming to the event are shown?
