Organization is crucial when juggling multiple contests! I use a simple spreadsheet to track deadlines, client preferences, and progress on each project. Set realistic timelines and don't overcommit - it's better to do fewer contests well than many poorly.

For portfolio building, I'd recommend showing variety but also highlighting your strongest style. Include process shots if possible - clients love seeing the creative process. Make sure your photos are well-lit and show the tattoo clearly. Quality over quantity always wins!

Communication is absolutely key! I always start by asking detailed questions about style preferences, size, placement, and any specific elements they want included. Regular check-ins during the design process help avoid surprises at the end.
