The problem isn't that you got an art degree, or you are doing tattoo, or that in art it is very difficult.
What is it then?
Marketing. You see, it's not just about talent but rather, the following..
1. Look at your talent as a way of how it can solve a problem or fit into a trend.
2. You may see tattoo as in skin but look at other ways, a unique way or a way that is IN DEMAND, that you can hook in your talent.
3. Now, create a prototype or partner with someone who does that thing and hook yours in with them.
4. Develop an audience, start now by looking at different partners i.e. groups online, companies, who already have customers in that niche, and see how valuable you can be to them to hook your tatoo in that brand or product.
I did this for a friend and he loved match sticks. Can you imagine! Match sticks. Everyone said he was crazy but what I did is identified a demand, got him to build a portotype building and contacted a film producer who was very small really, and who used his building made of match stick and the village he did made of match stick.
That got round to someone else and now...he's in the big time and moved to USA because he got hired by film company.
See what I mean mate.
Think marketing. Open your mind and don't listen to other people's negativity or shall I say PERCEPTION that comes from their experience - and their experience did not help them succeed in achieving their dreams.
So watch it when listening to anyone who says it's impossible, or a degree this, or art that.
I'm an artist, I'm chasing my dream to work as an artist
