[36:40] “I always like to explain why something is where it is, why I did what I did in the design. Usually I find that people appreciate the design even more. If they don’t know those things they could just like it, or they could be thinking about it in a way that I never intended”
— Ande Chambers
Good communication with clients about the "why" behind the design can enhance their overall perception of the tattoo. As a tattoo artist, it’s your responsibility to ensure that the client is excited about the design and not burden them with trying to decipher the different layers of meaning and decision-making involved in the design process.
Providing the client with a story or explanation behind the design can be incredibly valuable, allowing them to share the story with their loved ones and feel more connected to the tattoo. Explaining different elements, turns, and angles incorporated into the design, you can help the client understand and appreciate the unique features and nuances of their tattoo.
