My husband is a tattoo apprentice, who is doing amazingly well with a tattoo gun :-) His shop has just 'promoted' him sort of in telling him that he can make his own appointments, but they're still apprentice tattoos, so he would just get tips if they're given. He's trying to get customers to come in and be willing to give him 'practice skin' but not getting very far. He's been handing out cards and talking to people on the street outside his shop and I've put an ad on craigslist, but we're not getting the turnout we had hoped for. Any other ideas? Are any of you tattoo artists that had problems getting practice? How did you overcome that obstacle? And if any of you are in Hollywood and wouldn't mind a free tattoo, call 323-465-7869, Atomic Tattoo (Hollywood Blvd & Bronson) and set up an appointment to meet with Kenny.
Thanks in advance!
