Do the research…..learn…research ….practice practice….be clean and safe…most importantly believe in yourself….TEACH YOUR SELF PEOPLE….. 11years Self Taught here….been tattooing consistently for about 7 years now….this takes years to even grasp what it is you are even doin so dont rush this shit…take your time you can do this
We agree and are trying to work it out. We stopped using it on any cuss words besides the F word. We are trying to cuss less. We came up with that noise to stop us from being demonetized and also to help with branding. It’ll get better. We might even ditch it eventually
Ya definitely some dope content. Would be way better without the farting sounds but it's understandable. U guys will def get to a point of using it less or not at all I'm sure ! I'll be sticking around to find out either way! 💪🏼
My wife recently got a tattoo and mentioned to the artist that i draw so he wanted to see some of my pieces while she got tattooed. I got offered to be an apprentice. So I'm heavily considering it right now.
I was supposed to start an apprenticeship last month. I had built a nice relationship with my artist and he was actually the one to mention the apprenticeship a couple of years ago and I told him I wanted to finish my degree in graphic design but fast forward to this year were I stopped going to college and went with my other option of tattoos. He ended up not going through with it due to his partner who was co-owner or the shop. It was definitely a business decision and it only pushed me to do more and clean my stuff up. I definitely should have had a better presentation and more rendered work. This video is def guiding me on a different level and what to really expect if you want to be successful.
that is not a rare thing, I've been chewed out and F/O'd by EVERY tattooist I've come across. I was 16 when I initially started looking for an apprenticeship, they all told me GET an apprenticeship DONT be a self taught tattooist. It's all setup to keep you out....its frustrating, I thought we were all ARTIST's
I decided to be a tattoo artist after my best friend’s murder, when I got a memorial tattoo for her. I’m 33, I have a degree in fine studio art and have worked in veterinary medicine for the last decade. I moved to a small town in KY two years ago when I got pregnant. Now a career changer, I am also a full-time caregiver to my toddler. We have a limited number of tattoo shops here. My own tattoo artist told me the shops where women have complained if sexual abuse, verbal abuse, revolving apprenticeships, etc. I visited three shops so far, two of which loved my portfolio but had no room for an apprenticeship and to check back. The third one accepted me but it would be 5 days a week, 13 hours per day. The no pay doesn’t bother me because that’s what I expected, but with a two year old, seeing my two year old two days a week isnt reasonable or even realistic. I am looking to become self-taught. Or at least get my blood borne pathogens certification and teach myself on fake skin until I’m able to get an apprenticeship. Likelihood though…?
This was so helpful, I had a shop just waste my time and run me in circles and I never once even got to touch equipment 😭 and they wanted $6k upfront lmao it’s hard out there
As an artist and seeking apprentice myself, this content was very insightful from the eyes of the industry and very knowledgeable and informative, thank you guys very much!
The very first sentence I can Relate to. MFs wanted 3.5k from a 20 year old who just wanted to learn and grow xD suck when people try to take advantage of up n comers who actually want to bring something to the industry
As someone who is self taught - It took me 4 years of work to get to the point where I am now and that was every single day of coming in and tattooing. It's definitely way more recommended to get an apprenticeship.
MY G this was very useful! Trying to figure out life rn, art, graffiti, screen printing have always been my interests. Did the college route, did the online route, and I think tattooing is calling back my name. So this was the ultimate playbook of what the work that is required from me entering this space.
I mean my thing is what happens when you're in a situation where you can't get an apprenticeship/have another job that takes away from it but you legit want this and take it serious
just stumbled upon this video and had to drop a comment! I appreciate the insights you guys have shared through your own experiences in the industry. I'm a artist who has been diving deep into tattoos for the past few years now and you guys were able to help clear up a lot of my questions regarding apprenticeships. much respect!
This was super validating to listen to, and had a lot of great advice. I'm an art school graduate putting my portfolio together and preparing to start go-sees, and so much of what y'all said rang true for me and this decision to start tattooing. I've always wanted to do this, tried a more "normal" line of work, and now I'm listening to this feeling in me that this is something I need to do. I'm ready to be humble, learn, and become an asset to someone's team of artists 🖤
I'd honestly love to do an apprenticeship (minus all the menial labor, that's exploitation regardless of whatever justification they have) but I'm immune compromised and everyone is pretending the pandemic is over. I can't even walk in the door of a shop. So okay I'll learn on my own. I enjoyed the video. It was interesting to hear the different considerations and opinions.
@@misty5882 People are still dying by the hundreds and thousands every week just in the US alone so I don't know what you mean by drastically. We're in a surge all over the country with millions of reported cases (from wastewater date) every single day. In any case, just one infection (yes, vaccinated) is enough to prematurely age you by around 20 years. Each infection ages you more and significantly increases your risk of permanent, irreversible disability. Children as young as 9 have been diagnoses with dementia because of a COVID infection (yes, vaccinated.) It causes everything from organ damage to the lining of your blood vessels becoming worn down, to your brain cells fusing together which is not anything you can feel. There have been numerous reports of people having to experience amputation because of COVID infection (yes, vaccinated.) So you might think you're fine now, but have experienced serious repeated harm to your internal system. Olympians who are stronger and healthier than either of us could ever hope to be are dropping like flies because of COVID infections. So you might not care about others unless you're legally forced to, but maybe you should care a little more about yourself.
this has been so insightful so far. but as someone who has been working on blackwork primarily, meaning blackout tattoos & designs. there is no guidance regarding direction with this valley of tattooing, i’m a bit lost. but i am committed to working at this regardless.
This was so informative tbh. I'm confused as to why it has 76 views likeee. Subscribed immediately. I do have a comment though. I'm from a small country in Europe where apprenticeships are rarely done. I live in the capital city and most of the shops are private, with just one or two artists working in them. I'd say the private studios take up like 95% of all the shops in town. There's a bunchhh of them everywhere, but they're all private. The rest would be "regular" shops. There are only SIX normal tattoos shops where I live. The "regular" shops are kind of dying, the people who own them are all 60-something year old men who look down on everyone that tattoos because they have this sense of superiority because they're the OG's in our city. Most of the time their shops are unsanitary as hell, dogs walking around, one even has a parrot that just flies around and sits on its owner's shoulder. They have shitty reviews on Google for being rude and their work being bad. I've contacted a lot of "well known" artists from my area and all they say is like "apprenticeships are ancient, just go for it". They tell me all these horror stories of trying to get an apprenticeship with those six OG shops in town, some were even as bad as getting assaulted. I feel like apprenticeships are very common in the US and I kind of feel like a faker seeing all these American artists do it the "official" route, while nearly every big artist in my area tells me to just jump straight into it. Of course they help with any questions and stuff but they all refuse to participate in the apprenticeship dynamic. I kinda don't know what to do now since I'd like to take this very seriously but I don't really see an option? Moving is also not an option sadly, I mean the artists in my city are all ver well-known and no one shits on them for being a "scratcher" at first but I'm just scared of what other professionals might think.
it sounds like all the talented professionals around you are telling you to go for it? is what its like in america really relevant for you? i understand feeling like you want/need actual hands-on guidance and if you can't find that, i can see how that would be frustrating. but dont let it hold you back if you are just worried about what others might think. it is possible to learn from videos and do trial and error on yourself and teach yourself. if that style doesnt work for you, i feel like you should just try and make some tattoo artist friends.
I'm self taught an also following ben Fisher, who does online apprenticeship, where you can learn at your own pace. An ive done a few tattoos on real skin showed my work to a few professional artists, and they have told me my tattoo work is at a professional level. An have everything needed an also working on getting my blood born pathogens certification.
I just bought everything I need to start practicing at home. I've always wanted to learn it. It's hard where I am to get an apprenticeship. I've taught myself a few things like guitar. But now I think people can do enough research to learn enough.
Ngl I was laughing my ass off with the fart sound effect, but overall you guys threw some good statements regarding the industry and things going on with apprenticeships. I've been a self-taught 2D artist both digital and trad since a couple years, and I am at the time and place that Im considering tattooing as one of my options, since my grayscales could translate well for tattoos. Thanks for the advice nevertheless.
Idk what the culture is like now but when people talk about hazing and apprentice task culture as if it's necessary to do other things aside from the general cleaning and stuff it just reminds me of someone who's not actually interested in teaching. I would rather die going broke trying to practice and grind on my own. If they asked and it wasn't assumed or forced I would 1000% be willing to help out but as soon as someone is telling me that i NEED to do something just to be worthy of being taught, I'm out. I have the hunger that I'll learn no matter what. They can clean their car out themselves. Keeping your station clean, offering to clean up for others, I'll even grab coffees and lunch unprompted, but as soon as someone tells me I'm the *only* one that *has* to do these things I immediately think you're just trying to get something out of me and you're not serious about teaching. Un-popular opinion but if I put myself out there and I'm passionate about learning and I have to jump through hoops I'd rather be spending my time practicing on my own even if it takes longer. I get a give and take situation but some of the things I hear are just straight up disrespectful. Ooh that brought up some bad memories, but I really enjoyed listening to all your perspectives.
love your content guys! i just started an apprenticeship…and i’ve been drawing for awhile already so i have experience as a portrait artist. but i’m 42 years old. do you guys think it’s late in the game for me to pivot into this industry? is it something you’ve seen before? i went all in on this, cashed out some of my retirement to be able to support my fam till things pick. so i feel the pressure
I love this video so much good stuff-watched it twice- will sub and like---------- one comment bruh the fart noise- i cant, only thing I didnt like about it, its just so distracting and it can just be a little much since its so often- just so distracting and its not something i would playoutloud without headphones- other than that 10/10
We’re working on it and realize it’s too much and distracting. Prolly gonna decrease the frequency and lower the volume on it and see how that works. Keep an eye out and give feedback over the next few months of u can. Thanks for watching!
A shop that I think deserves, AT THE VERY LEAST, a top 10 spot is Labor Temple Tattoo in Tucson, Az. Those mf's can SLING TATTOOS. I wish I still lived there, I'd be hangin out every day
Great info. Hey I have a job that I work 75 hour a week am being practicing around 8 months is being really hard to find a apprenticeship cause my schedule I don’t really wanna be a scratcher.
Keep pushing! You already have the work ethic. Just gotta invest as much time as possible towards your dream instead of some random dead end job. Eventually the transition from one to the other will happen if you stay dedicated to the goal. Your whole life can chance in one year, trust.
The noise takes away so much more time (in milliseconds) than just bleeping it out it’s pretty annoying to hear the guest and it’s like a 2 1/2 second fart
Yeah actually Adam in the video was an amateur tattooer, then did graphic design, then came back to tattooing. I think all art is cumulative in terms of the creative process. No wasted knowledge
If a tattoo artist was purposely being an asshole to me. Ima probably be an asshole back. Even if he does know people in the industry. I don’t stand on getting spat on lol
Ngl seems like a really dope content, but really hard to look past the childish fart noises I got about halfway through, but those noises are too much one here and there would be kind of funny, but this is just too much to be surrounding a serious conversation.
Nvm, y’all’s channel name is literally “Fart Friends”… can’t be mad that every adult word is censored with farts. I can however, be mad at myself for listening to this thinking it would be valuable information. It’s not. It’s just generic information in podcast form.
what if you're not THAT interested in drawing? i'd like to get into tatttooing but more interested in geometrics, lines and ignorant style. i do have drawing experience but it's not something i'm that excited about. i have no interest in doing most tattoo styles so why do i have to force myself to draw that way?
I’m not a tattooer, but I would say if you bring in lots of work in that style to a shop that does work like that, it won’t matter if you can’t draw portraits.
There is a market for that for sure, I myself have wanted some tats like that. Not a tattoo artist but I would say go for it anyway but strongly advised to try to get out of your comfort zone. And needed to point out your wording, but tattooing is still drawing whether it's geometric or not
Wtf with those fart sounds. I was trying to listen to the content but 5 mins in Instead of learning my head is wondering when the next annoying Loud fart comes in. In the intro was funny, throughout the thick of the chat it was a very bad call
I was supposed to start an apprenticeship last month. I had built a nice relationship with my artist and he was actually the one to mention the apprenticeship a couple of years ago and I told him I wanted to finish my degree in graphic design but fast forward to this year were I stopped going to college and went with my other option of tattoos.

I definitely should have had a better presentation and more rendered work. This video is def guiding me on a different level and what to really expect if you want to be successful.

Dope content, but lose the farting sound effect is annoying bro

yea 100% - my rec is dont use any sounds at all - just duck the audio. Im sure nowadays there might be even an AI tool doing it automatically for you.
Facts, we 12 up in here??
My wife recently got a tattoo and mentioned to the artist that i draw so he wanted to see some of my pieces while she got tattooed. I got offered to be an apprentice. So I'm heavily considering it right now.

First peice of advice that I got from my mentor, is don't aim to be a tattoo artist, aim to be an artist who tattoo's. Super solid advice
that is not a rare thing, I've been chewed out and F/O'd by EVERY tattooist I've come across. I was 16 when I initially started looking for an apprenticeship, they all told me GET an apprenticeship DONT be a self taught tattooist. It's all setup to keep you out....its frustrating, I thought we were all ARTIST's
i think its gatekept for a reason, people care about their craft, and not everyone is going to be a good tattoo artist.
@@ravenarbuckle8385”not everyone is going to be a good tattoo artist” exactly. those people will be weeded out so it doesn’t matter.
Right, I'm absolutely positive that is exactly what Harvey Weinstein was doing for the movie industry...QUALITY CONTROL!

Start on your own get clients and tatt em up
then start! teach those who doubt you not to do so! it’s gonna be a much harder path than an apprenticeship.
@dannyventura9909 essentially that's what I've started doing. Being in the Army has made it a complicated process but I'm sticking with it!!
@misty5882 at this point that's how I'm moving forward. I want ot bad enough to continue to put in the work and I definitely will

I enjoyed the video. It was interesting to hear the different considerations and opinions.
i don’t think it’s fair to act that way. nobody is required to wear a mask for you, we have our own freedom. you wear the mask if you want.
“everyone is pretending the pandemic is over” while it’s not over, it has drastically decreased lol and that’s undeniable.

BBP tests are available online guys! if it’s legal to tattoo unlicensed in your state, go the safest and healthiest route!
I'm self taught an also following ben Fisher, who does online apprenticeship, where you can learn at your own pace. An ive done a few tattoos on real skin showed my work to a few professional artists, and they have told me my tattoo work is at a professional level. An have everything needed an also working on getting my blood born pathogens certification.
Are you a Ben fisher bot? lol I’m thinking about doing his course, but it’s out of budget right now. Did it help you?
thank you for making this video this is genuinely the most informative apprentice video i’ve found on youtube!
No problem thanks for watching
I just bought everything I need to start practicing at home. I've always wanted to learn it. It's hard where I am to get an apprenticeship. I've taught myself a few things like guitar. But now I think people can do enough research to learn enough.

love your content guys! i just started an apprenticeship…and i’ve been drawing for awhile already so i have experience as a portrait artist. but i’m 42 years old. do you guys think it’s late in the game for me to pivot into this industry? is it something you’ve seen before? i went all in on this, cashed out some of my retirement to be able to support my fam till things pick. so i feel the pressure
You got this keep believing in yourself 42 is the new 35
thats ME!...@40 now, I'm gonna retire from my first career to do ART full time.
no self taught artist is denying that the apprenticeship is easier: it’s usually the time differential.
never subscribed so fast. thank you for this!!
is there a specific kind of art that would give me a better chance of getting an apprenticeship
I love this video so much good stuff-watched it twice- will sub and like---------- one comment bruh the fart noise- i cant, only thing I didnt like about it, its just so distracting and it can just be a little much since its so often- just so distracting and its not something i would playoutloud without headphones- other than that 10/10
We’re working on it and realize it’s too much and distracting. Prolly gonna decrease the frequency and lower the volume on it and see how that works. Keep an eye out and give feedback over the next few months of u can. Thanks for watching!
So what are the necessary skills and things that I should have and do in order to become an apprentice
A shop that I think deserves, AT THE VERY LEAST, a top 10 spot is Labor Temple Tattoo in Tucson, Az. Those mf's can SLING TATTOOS. I wish I still lived there, I'd be hangin out every day
This is exactly what I needed to hear 💯
love the video, seriously can't do the fart noises.
I see this has been addressed.
Great info.
Hey I have a job that I work 75 hour a week am being practicing around 8 months is being really hard to find a apprenticeship cause my schedule I don’t really wanna be a scratcher.
Keep pushing! You already have the work ethic. Just gotta invest as much time as possible towards your dream instead of some random dead end job. Eventually the transition from one to the other will happen if you stay dedicated to the goal. Your whole life can chance in one year, trust.
who tf decided those sfx whre a good idea damn near ruined the episode for me such a shame because it was so good
I’m rlly stuck on this, did you come up with those ideas or did you find them online and do them yourself? Would that be bad to do for a portfolio?
Watched 2 minutes and quit because im a grown man and im not listening to fart noises all day
They now have schools in my state and it’s $8000
No thank you I’m not becoming someone’s slave for a spot at a tattoo shop
The noise takes away so much more time (in milliseconds) than just bleeping it out it’s pretty annoying to hear the guest and it’s like a 2 1/2 second fart
Amazing, it solved a lot of my doubt, what about working as a graphic and tattooer does it help the journey in some way?
Yeah actually Adam in the video was an amateur tattooer, then did graphic design, then came back to tattooing. I think all art is cumulative in terms of the creative process. No wasted knowledge
I’m not the best artist but I can fart really good. Can I get an apprenticeship?
Thanks for the game gentlemen.
I loved this and soo greatful for genuine artist out there who want to help, pls find something better than the fart sound though!😂
bro the fart sound effects do my fkn head in, i couldnt listen
Fart Friends? Worst marketing strategy I've ever seen. Unless youre trying to appeal to really immature people 😂
If a tattoo artist was purposely being an asshole to me. Ima probably be an asshole back. Even if he does know people in the industry. I don’t stand on getting spat on lol
i don’t think every self taught artist is a scratcher, i think scratcher should be associated more with the people that are doing shit tattoos.
Cant disagree enough on the tech thing! Needles tubes and coils will always have a place in tattooing.
Ngl seems like a really dope content, but really hard to look past the childish fart noises I got about halfway through, but those noises are too much one here and there would be kind of funny, but this is just too much to be surrounding a serious conversation.
Live the content but the fart effect throws me out each time 😭
How the fuck is editer
Nvm, y’all’s channel name is literally “Fart Friends”… can’t be mad that every adult word is censored with farts. I can however, be mad at myself for listening to this thinking it would be valuable information. It’s not. It’s just generic information in podcast form.
good info but too many fucking fart
sounds
Sadly, most of the views are only up to the three minute mark because all the farting noises
The farting is so cringe
what if you're not THAT interested in drawing? i'd like to get into tatttooing but more interested in geometrics, lines and ignorant style. i do have drawing experience but it's not something i'm that excited about. i have no interest in doing most tattoo styles so why do i have to force myself to draw that way?
I’m not a tattooer, but I would say if you bring in lots of work in that style to a shop that does work like that, it won’t matter if you can’t draw portraits.
There is a market for that for sure, I myself have wanted some tats like that. Not a tattoo artist but I would say go for it anyway but strongly advised to try to get out of your comfort zone. And needed to point out your wording, but tattooing is still drawing whether it's geometric or not
Lmao
Yall are so bothered over farting noises 😂😂😂 just put on some headphones.
Wtf with those fart sounds. I was trying to listen to the content but 5 mins in Instead of learning my head is wondering when the next annoying Loud fart comes in. In the intro was funny, throughout the thick of the chat it was a very bad call
lol dorks
I was supposed to start an apprenticeship last month. I had built a nice relationship with my artist and he was actually the one to mention the apprenticeship a couple of years ago and I told him I wanted to finish my degree in graphic design but fast forward to this year were I stopped going to college and went with my other option of tattoos. He ended up not going through with it due to his partner who was co-owner or the shop. It was definitely a business decision and it only pushed me to do more and clean my stuff up. I definitely should have had a better presentation and more rendered work. This video is def guiding me on a different level and what to really expect if you want to be successful.
