Studios cluster, so it pays to know the areas. Use the suburb links on this page to see who works where, and check an artist's profile for the studio they are based at. A lot of artists work out of one studio and guest at others, so the address on a studio's website is not always where your appointment will be. If you are travelling for a specific artist, confirm the location when you book rather than assuming.
Look at their portfolio to see if their style matches what you want. Check consistency in their work, read any reviews, and ensure they specialize in the style you're after. A good artist will be happy to discuss your ideas and provide their input.
