Usually the best way is to become an apprentice under another artist. You work with them for quite some time and then they help you build your own clientel. Its very challenging finding one that will take you on a s an apprentice but you eventually can if you keep looking. A good tattoo artist will not just order you the supplies you need because there are many important things to learn and health risks are present. Good luck

Talk to the resident tattoo artists in your city (phone book should list the places). There's also tattoo conventions if your area hosts any (check online). And if you pickup any of the tattoo magazines at Barnes & Noble bookstore there should be articles and advertisements in them about starting or working in the business.
You'll need to be able to draw, of course, and your training will familiarize you with the equipment used.

My hubands shop has employed a pair apprentices interior 5 years. they frequently make u shop ***** first, cleansing after a tattoo, installation, doing arrons. Stufdf like that. they supply u prepare skins after some months and that they tutor u diffrent concepts and characteristic u watch them, the final apprentice we had grow to be a male and it took him fairly much 2 years before they allowed him to p.c.. up a tattoo gun on a guy or woman. It relies upon on ur skills, and artwork instructions do help yet employing a gun is plenty diffrent from a pencil, evaluate ur hand going numb after 5 minutes of keeping the gun using vibrations. walk right into a shop and ask in the event that they want a shop "*****" that's what they r called sorry, and enable them to be responsive to ur intentions. They worst they are in a place to assert is not any.

become friends with an artist, let them either order equipment through a reputible organization such as National Tattoo supply or estabilsh a company name and let the artist acknowledge you as an artist to the company so you can order supplies. practice on yourself first. practice drawing out designs - putting them on your body, and tattooing yourself - such as on your leg. always using sterile equipment and new needles. then, someone you know hopefully will trust you enough to let you do one on them - then more than one. then you do other people's tattoos through references from the one friend's tattoos. then you throw a tattooing party - always with new needles and sterile equipment. if you get anyone sick giving them a tattoo - your career is shot as well as them suing you.

learn to draw and hold a needle real still. Then get a tatooing licence.
