Are you going to start your own shop, or are you working for a studio? In a studio, it's pretty much like any other job interview, except you are an artist. You will be asked your experience, palces you have worked, and you will be asked for a portfolio showcasing photos of some of your work, as well as references.
If you are opening your own shop, you will need medical clearance (since there is needlework being done and the chance of bodily fluids being exposed), proper zoning OK for that particular kind of business, health inspection, and all the proper permits. Depending which state you live in, these can be a little difficult to get since many places consider tattoo parlors "undesirable". For instance, Massachusetts, until recently, had outlawed tattoo shops altogether.
Contact your local zonging board and chamber of commerce to find out exactly what is required.

It absolutely depends on your city & state. Also, some talent and a catalog would help quite a bit, but I don't believe those are necessary unless you want to be successful. There may also be zoning requirements for where your business would be located, parking requirements, etc. Your city might say that your business is in a certain area with a certain type of zoning code, and they may require you have a certain number of parking spots available for your customers.

Where i live you have to find someone who will let you be an apprentice in their studio and have to have 1000hr documented tattoo experience before you can get your license. Tattooartist have to have a large sum of money to finalize that license. That is being argued now. Check your state and see what their guidelines are.

good sure of path.. i feel it is a little insane in need of to tattoo as a facet industry while you don't have any truly formation.. except i am not definite that "on-line little tattooing kits' will produce the nice outcome on epidermis.. the cause why you wish to have this allow is to make certain that the situation you tattoo is as blank as feasible, that you've got sterilized gear, one-use needles, crucial talent and enjoy to tattoo ( apprenticeships and portfolio) and all. it is for persons's possess protection and sake..
