tattooer
Needle ink professional
A tattooer is someone who tattoos people professionally, applying permanent ink designs to skin using needles.
The term is interchangeable with tattooist, though tattooer emphasizes the action of the craft while tattooist carries a slightly more formal or artistic connotation.
My tattooer has a six-month waiting list.
Some practitioners prefer tattoo artist to highlight the creative dimension of their work.
