Should i apply to be a tatoo artists?

A couple of my good friends are tattoo artists, and it's not just a job you apply for. Especially if you can't spell it.

The tattoo field is better now than it has ever been lol.

They've tripled in demand in the last decade, so I wouldn't let that be the reason to put you off if you want to do it.

So get some equipment and start practicing. Drawing is one thing, you can erase or start over. You only get one shot with a tattoo.

I say go for it. However:

It's a lot more complex, and you will have a lot of things to think about.

I'm pretty sure you would have to go on training courses and health and safety courses.

If you plan to be self eomployed you also gotta think about the cost of the equipment and rental of a parlor. As well as marketing expenses, and no one will have heard of you, so you won't loads of clients straight away.

Anyway with dedication, you could definatly make it, it sounds like an interesting job with little stress and probably pretty good $$$$ GOOD LUCK

Look into it, why not? It's good to use your strengths and follow your passions. I wish I'd been more confident about that at 18. However, sorry to have to point this out, but spell tattoo properly in any applications/correspondence or whatever. Tattoo, not tatoo.

No because the baby Jesus won't accept you into his kingdom.

I doubt that doing the tattoos would be a very lucrative profession; there are a lot of very fine tattoo artists out there and not so many customers.
But you might be able to sell your designs to the parlors.

If that's what you want to do then do it. People will always be getting tattoos regardless of how many jobs are making them get rid of them. As long as you have people who want body art tattoo artist will always be in business.

So you want to be more than one tattoo artist???

Going to clone yourself bro?

I'm not sure if drawing/painting skills would translate directly over to tattoo artistry. I'm sure there are extra things to consider when working with how the needle reacts to the skin.

If you are REALLY want to get into this field, I would say that the first step would be to get a tattoo and tell the tattoo artist that you're interested. Ask him/her how he/she got started.

To be honest though, I don't think there is any hope of you becoming a tattoo artist unless you are REALLY into getting tattoos. Something to consider is that getting a tattoo is a really intimate thing, and it requires a lot of trust between the artist and the person he/she's working with. This isn't like a haircut or something where someone just walks in and plops down in the char while you go nuts.

Of course I won't say no flat out though. Everyone has to start somewhere. If this is something you really want to do, you should find a way.

Tattoos are a good example of low life. Don't be a part of it. Tattoos are disgusting.

I say if you have a talent like that, Go go for it. I had The same Guy do like 4 of mine but the other guy did the other two. But it was apparent. Which one of the two had more artistic talent. (By the way, Ignore that nasty thing, Counterfeit.Circus), (He likes to start trouble. and annoy people. He did that shit to me. And I reported his stupid ass. Anyway The guy in the shop said the same thing as you. That he started with just sketching and drawing. Now the money at that place is Rollin in. When I was there last at least 50 customers came in. Some were for piercings, But most were for Tattoos. What ever you decide. Good luck!

Fire that gun up!!!!!

no its old hat , just an opinion

Tatoos are disgusting, especially on women. Don't assist people with disfigurement. I hope everyone is sorry in the future when they have an ugly, blurry blue blob under their scarred skin. The neck ones are really classy.
