Okay so I was thinking about what I REALLY wanna do a career and a hobbie and I thought about being a tattoo artist. I thought that I would be perfect for the job. I watch LA Ink and Miami ink all the time so that kinda gives me insight on the whole scene and I have that kick *** attitude and the most important thing in my opinion... being a good artist. Do you think I'm cut out for it? If ur already a tattoo artist what do you think about my ambitions?

well are you good at drawing?
just know that tattoo artists generally don't make that much money.
i mean if its something you love, you'll go for it regardless, but i'm just mentioning it.

You may be disappointed to find,
that working in a tattoo shop, is
nothing like what you see on a
TV show. It's sometimes boring
and always hard work. ALWAYS
Back breaking in fact. Go to a good
shop and spend the day ...that may give
you some idea of what is happening.
It's a lot more paper work and cleaning
than tattooing...You will have to learn a
lot of things, just to get started. One of
which is to leave your kickass attitude
at home. Learning to be humble, patient,
and kind, is much more useful. Study the
craft well, and then try and find a good
apprenticeship. It is not as easy, as it sounds.

You have to have the passion & know how to do good art work just because you see the shows & like the scene & have the kick *** attitude doesn't mean your cut out for it.

contact some local studios and see if any will accept you as an apprentice or on to the staff to see if you like it and what they think your chances are
good luck
