It depends on many things and depends what kind of tattoo you're wanting, check out an artists previous work to see if their line work is what you're looking for. There's always going to be a certain amount of uncrispness but you can help by going to a good artist and getting it somewhere soft and out of the sun like the inner bicep or top of the thigh.

Not sure if has been covered but I have a newb query about bleed. I fancy getting something done but the absolute most Important thing for me is really dark black and sharp crisp edges that stay that way and don't bleed.
Most peoples tattoos that I see are green and even with the blacker ones there always seems to be bleed/loss of sharpness after some time. One of my friends who had something done only a couple years ago has actually SMUDGED! All over the place and looks so awful.
Is it possible to guarantee cripsness and blackness through either skills of artist or materials they use?
