Certainly. You always want to see the work of the tattoo artists. You usually can't take photographs, but if anybody gives you a hard time for walking in and browsing or asks what you're doing, just say Hey I want to preview your work before I get a tattoo. It's always imprudent to inspect their cleanliness and procedures. Good shops will be glad to show you the process. If they give you a tough time, just walk out.
