    Glad I found this channel. Just started my apprenticeship and my biggest struggle rn is charging what I feel I’m worth and collecting deposits. I always let people slide and I’ve found out super quickly people love to take advantage of artists. Appreciate the vids/advice g

    I hate to say it, but at the end of the day its about making a living. Those that say it isn't about money are a bit too idealistic. Please don't mistake this as a statement that its purely about money. That money is just a tool foremost and allows your cost of living, taxes, and work expenses. If you want to make good money doing tattoos, you have to keep progressing and make your tattoos better, not putting out more. Making more money is also about making a better life for you and your family, just like any other profession. Tattooing at the end of the day is a commercial art, and its prudent to approach it that way.

    Guys I’m a artist and I’m gonna tell you don’t listen to this, most tattoo artist makes about 4-5000 a month and some street shop artists make less, if you get into to tattooing it’s not the rock star life you think, it is a rough life we’re constantly working, like I work from 12-8 which is no where near what I’m use to I use to work from 12-3am, but then after your done tattooing as soon as you get home you have to work on designs or stencils, and we never have time to really eat good when we work so our diet is horrible and it messes with your health, this is not a easy life and being a artist is a lifestyle not a job, but if you love art or tattooing that should be the only reason you live this life

    • @ad742n
      @ad742n  2 года назад +2

      I didn’t say it’s a rockstar life. And my diet isn’t horrible it’s actually pretty good it’s just about how u set your priorities and I get the designs ready the day I tattoo just in case ppl change their mind on the design and so I’m not stressing out about it
      I understand where u r coming from but everything I’m saying is real if u work hard enough u will do very good for yourself and set a good balance w your life you will be good

    NEVER invest on stocks, these are set uo games for few that get rich in the expenses of the small fish.
    Sure some money in penny stocks that are4 small ampoubnts can be done in companies that are promising with the premise that if they are lost it will not be a big deal, but if the comany flourishes it will be amassive gain.
    Instead invest in yourself and business and what is spare in tangible good that have value which can increas, i.e. gold and silver which never lose valua and rel estate.
