I apprenticed, but I feel self taught. My first mentor was and is absolute trash. No joke. I was just desperate to get in the door. My second mentor just wasn’t good at TEACHING. Best boss I’ve ever had tho.

Would be cool to see an update on what you have been up too

Hi Hailey, big fan of your videos. Im covered in ink and draw as a hobby, seriously considering taking the jump. I'd be curious to see how you design your flash, and the process behind that. Might make for an interesting video idea!

Is 30 too old to start trying to get into the tattoo business? 😭 I’ve drawn my whole life but I’m just now feeling like I want to be creative as a job

this is awesome <3

Hi Hailey, just saying thanks for sharing your thoughts on being a self taught artist. Your videos are great, you’re also really cute in a good way. I’ve been studying for the last 3 years and am just now laying down some ink. Thank God for procreate and stencils!

lovely video 🩶

Do the responders have to have a google account to answer the form?

I am also a self taught tattoo artist and I am signing a lease for a studio tomorrow... Instantly subscribed since our stories are so similar <3

I wish I knew you in real life I have more questions- I feel like I CANT be a tattoo artist because my LINES aren’t perfect. I can’t draw a perfect straight line, I can’t draw a perfect circle, my art has always been what I call “perfectly imperfect art” “trashy art” I paint and I draw but there are flaws. With tattoos I see them so CLEAN and perfect. I don’t think my art style fits. My friends and family always told me to tattoo.

honestly u act to mature to be19 in my opinion

Wow. You got any tats?

We know it was for the rizz Hailey.

So useful! thank U!

Do you have the Google forms available for anyone to click fill out and send to you or do you have to personally send a link to them to fill out?

You're more interested in social media that tattoo art. Fake.

im just getting into tattooing and i live in ut in cottonwood heights wow what a small world what is the name of your tattoo shop?

Mood🤞🏾

Thank you for your story!! Im an aspiring tattoo artist and have been struggling to land an apprenticeship for 2-3 years now, so I’ve been thinking to possibly start myself and I love hearing others stories of succeeding at the same thing. Sub from me ❤

Do you just have to have a business license to start buying from licensed tattoo suppliers? And where do you buy those things. I live in Arizona so it would be different but is there an online supplier that is professional and reliable?

Im just getting started and your videos have made me more confident about booking 😊👌🏽 ty

Dude… super simple process that gets the job done. I’ve been looking at booking software etc but this method seems more familiar and FREE. Thanks for sharing!

This is the method I also use a form. 💕

So why did u leave your private studio to work at someones else's shop?

❤❤❤❤

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I just got a tattoo gun recently and have been starting that journey of research and practice! Who knows what’s to come

Woaaa super helpful❤❤❤❤

Ur an i inspiration to me♥️

Thanks so much

thanks to this video i was able to make a website for my tattoo portfolio. thank you :)

thanks babe

Awesome to see how easy you make this look, Thank you! 🙏🏽 You should do a product review of both equipment and technology for some future content.

Thank you so much! This has been exactly what I’ve been looking for. There’s a lot of courses that I see online and in person for the tiny tat and fine line tattooing that give you a certification. I’m assuming that certification is not something that’s required in Utah?

I’ve been tattooing for 17 years and this is proof of what I’ve be en talking about a lot about lately. Apprenticeship is becoming long lost tradition. In all honesty even those of us that had an apprenticeship ultimately taught ourselves. It does make me sad though that the history is lacking in being self taught. One thing I did gain from my apprenticeship is learning who is who and what each person gave to our history. I’m currently working on building a remote apprenticeship program that would include this and could be used as a guide tool to help artists seeking the self taught route. I do hope to work with different states to meet the standards they have for licensing. The industry is changing and a lot of the old guys are freaking out instead of learning how to guide it in the right direction.

thankful the universe brought me on your channel im following a similar path! wish you love and light and success **

I came across your channel, is subbed, I just love the topics you're engaging in its super helpful as a junior artist btw do you have any tips to build/grow clientele? also happy holidays !

Thank you so much

Thank you for sharing! Would honestly love a video on finding inspiration for designs, making flash sheets, and stencils! Appreciate your videos so much!!

i'm a 17 really lost girl i always loved the tattoos idea, this days i was crying a lot and having all the mental break problems now this video just pop up i love it and make me have hope to do what i like again ty so much

Do you have only fans page?

The title sounds not real

Yes very helpful.

Thank you! Motivating & inspiring.

How can i get you tattoo google forms?

I also wanna add, in all honesty, apprenticeships are for the privileged period. I don't personally live in North America, but from what I am hearing, you're paying a good amount of $$$ to get one, and doing free labour for intense hours and days a week leaving you without too many options for a side income. In Europe, you don't mostly pay for apprenticeships, but indeed are required the spend the time and hours (unpaid ofc) , which is very fair but then you are also responsible for admin stuff, orders, inventory, guest artists, instagram page etc ( manager related tasks) . To be an apprentice you either have to live under a roof without paying rent i.e. with your parents, have a partner who earns for the both parties, or get a good loan/ have parents give monthly money. Clearly I am a self taught artist. Not saying this life is the best either. You grow slower at times, learn slower, you're not always surrounded by artists, but at least you take things at your own pace and can still afford a side job. I don't regret doing what I am doing. There is so much access to information, online licenses on health, safety and sanitation, so much access to learning how to tattoo, and just as Hailey said : A lot of tattooers are actually more than fine to answer questions etc. Take your own path and keep the safety of others and urself in mind <3!

Subscribed for the vibes 🔥 Idk what you do. Idk what we're getting clients for but your vibes is sick 🤘

How did you grow your clientele?

she’s a multi talented coding tattoo artist genius

Hi! A question I have is how did you find what kind of tattooing style you liked best? And how did you learn to tattoos those styles? Was it just practice makes perfect, RUclips videos, Pinterest and references? Thanks a bunch!

Subscribed, I’m also a self taught professional spray paint artist/tattoo artist. Thanks for the video
