Pros and Cons for getting tattoo from a shop vs a private artist studio

[AngieNYC]

Hi,

I'm new in the tattoo world. But I saw a lot of artists are now said "Private Studio". What are the Pros and Cons of getting tattooed in a private studio vs a normal shop?

You screen them the same way regardless of where they work - is their work solid? Do the have a lot of examples of good work? Do you know anyone that's been tattooed by them? Do they follow strict sanitary guidelines? Have you seen old examples of their work and how it holds up?

The big difference is, is it a studio, or are they tattooing in their kitchen?
