It’s absolutely possible to plan your tattoo in Colombia before you travel—even if you’re currently in the USA. The key is having a clear process: briefing, references, design, booking, and logistics. Here’s a practical guide to collaborate remotely with Colombian artists and arrive in Cali ready for your session.
1. Step 1: define your idea (brief)
- Style: realism, fine line, blackwork, color, etc.
- Approximate size and placement.
- References: 2–5 images (what you like and what you don’t).
- Context: meaning, symbols, elements you want included.
2. Step 2: consultation and feasibility
During a consultation, the artist will tell you if your idea works well based on:
- Body anatomy and how the area moves.
- Longevity (especially with very fine details).
- Estimated time and number of sessions.
3. Step 3: design and revisions
A professional process includes iterations:
- First draft (concept).
- Revisions (composition, size, details).
- Final version ready to tattoo.
The clearer your brief is, the faster you’ll reach a final design you truly love.
4. Step 4: booking, deposit, and dates
- Confirm travel dates and availability.
- Review deposit/reschedule policies.
- If it’s a large piece, plan 2–3 buffer days.
5. Step 5: travel prep
- Sleep well and avoid alcohol 24–48h before.
- Hydrate your skin and avoid sunburn.
- Wear comfortable clothing for the tattoo area.
6. Step 6: aftercare (while traveling)
If you’re traveling, aftercare is critical: avoid pools/ocean, protect from sun, and follow studio instructions. That’s how you ensure a clean heal and a long-lasting result.
