Some artists work freehand, some with a combination of transfers and freehand etc.
The artist that did the majority of my work (Bugs) used about 30% transfers and freehanded the rest on so that it flowed over the area.
I found giving a rough brief, asking to see some preparatory sketches and then giving an artist a decent amount of skin has resulted in the work I am happiest with. Make sure you're on the same wavelength and remember at any point up until the needle hits your skin you can ask for revisions.
