- In this video I talk about how I got both apprenticeships. I break down my finances, and why I chose an apprenticeship instead of other options. At the end of the video I talk about some things I've seen in the tattoo shop that prevent others from getting an apprenticeship, as well as some ways to gain favor with the artists.
Don’t worry about the length of the video, you have so much great information to share 😊
With my 1st apprenticeship i was literally more sanitary at home. I would get there and black ink handprints would be on my greensoap, open needles at my shared station. There was an instance where the cartridge fell out onto the floor while the owner was tattooing so i asked what size it was so i could get a new one and I got ignored and they sprayed it and rinsed it with tap. I left soon after and they have been shut down twice since, now permanently 😂. I want to start over. I completely agree that self taught is ok for some, but i really wanted a true mentor.
You are beautiful ❤
Teaching yourself isn’t the option to pick. It’s called scratching and it’s frowned upon
Don't you need a apprenticeship in order to get your license for tattooing? I would imagine even if you are self taught that you would still need to get a apprenticeship in order to get licensed. No?
My friend is looking for a tattoo apprenticeship. Thank you for making this video, it helps me more on understanding how it works.
this was extremely helpful and imforming. i've wanted to be a tattoo artist for about a year now, and going into my last year of high school. I'm trying to imrpove my art as much as I can, and gain as much knowlege that I can. I will defiently be checking out your other content. Thank you sm :,)
I have already posted tattoos I have done on fake skin and some on people on my insta. shall I delete them in the case I give my insta to a tattoo shop??
how big should my portfolio be before i start to apply? how many drawings/paintings? should they all be refined or can some of them be left as their original sketches/ with their guidelines? should i make some of them colored or just b&w? i’m completely lost.
That's ridiculous how some places make you go to tattoo school and then after that literally you have to have an apprenticeship so you're paying for the tattoo schooling and the apprenticeship separately you're going to be poor before you can become a full-time artist. Hell before you even finish your apprenticeship you'll be lucky if you're not even living on the streets. And most of the time you don't make any money under your apprenticeship anyway. I know I didn't. Had to try to juggle a regular day job on top of doing my apprenticeship it's hard it really is. You got to really want it if you want to become a tattoo artist. Hardwork dedication, confidence I mean you need it all if you want to go in that field.
Your work is inspiring my portfolio! Thank you!
Thank ya so much, this is mega helpful and your definitely showing that this journey isn't a sprint, but more of a marathon.
The wall of colors though!!! I love it! ❤
so helpful. thanks!
Very helpful thanks girl :))
Thanks for your story. That is very interesting (I personally want to go in to art in general as a hobby).
i’m about to graduate highschool and this is my dream job
it's the first time hearing about the automatic refusal because you showed you practice on fake skin. Is there a specific reason why there's such a visceral response to this ? I thought that fake skins were there for training and that it would be advantageous to show that you've practiced beforehand. I understand if it was on a real person but fake skin ? I've only received encouragement towards it and even been lent a machine from the tattoo artists I'm in contact with.
First video I’ve watched of yours, thanks for the story and explanation. I appreciate it. I will be watching the rest of your videos, I was just wanting to make a suggestion…. Edit out all of the swallowing, the noise is super loud and irritating (plus side is your mic is super good). I know it’s natural, just video wise.. edit it out. I have misophonia so it’s 100x more hard for me to listen to, but yeah. Just wanted to share.
