Getting Started.

I'm Lisa :) I'm looking for tips, advice anything. I've got everything i need, or atleast what i think i need. But i don't want to get into a habbit of doing the wrong thing or be a "Scratcher" So i found this site and hoped someone could help me out. I know i should get an apprenticeship, but i don't have the money right now and alot of artist are self taught right? I'll get one eventually but for right now i just want to get as much practice under my belt as i can. Don't be negative towards me please, this is something i've wanted to do for a long time and all i want is some help. So if you can help me out in anyway that'd be great and very appreciated. Email me or just respond to this post. :)

Read the Sticky thread entitled "Aspiring artists- want to learn how to tattoo?" That should answer all of your questions. I'd recommend the apprenticeship very much, someone elses skin is nothing to "practice on", and it will be harder to break bad habbits later on when you're developing them now. When you learn it the right way from the get go, you can have a promising career ahead of you.

Thanks =]. I'm not practicing on people, fake skin.
