Go to e-bay and bid on a tattoo kit roughly 200 bucks... Also while there get the fake skin samples to practice on round 100 bucks..
Most kits come with ink, extra needles, and a CD to instruct ya through the steps... Might have to get extra's of all !!!
As for a job!! Best is some local tattoo shops looking to be an apprentice. This probly hardest part-- you get rejected alot, and you got to be persentant in it. return several time and keep asking questions.. bring in your art, and skins to show that you are interested..Bring several different styles of art and tatt's. If and when you get an apprentice then you in the shop every day-- cleaning, running errands, basically shop slave... After a period of time you can get a client...( Don't mean you cant practice on Skins, or friends [careful on real people, or your tatt master will have to fix your mistake which couls screw everthing up) after a few real clients, common number is 50 for a portfolleo.. You become a tattooist. Eather stay in shop to learn more and build portfolleo (recomended) or venture off on your own.. Good luck..
Trhere are also places where you can take tattooing courses, check with tattoo shop for locations..

if the man or woman is a certified artist that's top fine and dependable, then they're absolutely operating at a tattoo retailer. Therefore, they absolutely wont tattoo you until your both sixteen along with your mothers and fathers consent (however that will depend on the store, a few will handiest do 18+) or your 18 with a legitimate ID.

I would work as an apprentice at a shop for a while to get recommended. Talk with difference shop owners to see what would be best for you.
