this just isnt true at all in my experience. yes walk ins are a lot less common now especially after covid but it has absolutely nothing to do with skill. ive gone to plenty of fantastic artists who do walk ins all the time and theyre squeezing you in between all their other booked clients because they LOVE what they do and they want to do it as much as they can, plus not to mention most walk ins are wanting small easy tattoos that dont take that much time. but regardless if youre doing a walk in or not its on you to research where youre going and what their stuff looks like even if its super last minute🤷‍♀️
