It’s great that there are so many options, and tattoo artists in general who work in different styles, textures, and techniques, and can recreate the same design in completely different ways. But on the other hand, as someone who has a hard time making choices, I find it difficult here too. I can’t figure out what I like.

Listen, there’s no way you like absolutely everything. There’s something you find more appealing, something less appealing. Start broad, for example, colored or like here https://www.logansquaretattoo.com/blackwork-tattoo-chicago, black ink. I think that already narrows down the choice. I agree about having a consultation with an artist, and at the shop I linked above, there’s exactly that option, so it’s worth taking advantage of it.
