been tattooing with professional equipment for 2 yrs. I dont know any other tatooist to apprentice under. im 18 and willing to work long hard hours i live in manteca but (if paying) can relocate anywhere in ca. Have plenty of pictures of my artwork and tattoo work available upon request. Not a punk looking for an easy ride artist. i am extremely dedicated to becoming a professional artist.
my name is richard and i am very interested in becoming a tatooist. I have the ability and determenation to succeed in becoming a professional tatooist, I achieved a grade A in art I also have art work related to the topic, I am looking for a professional tatooist who is willing to teach me the aspects of a tatooist, I'am punctual and 100% commited to this type of work bringing such imagitive quality work P.S (GIVE US A CHANCE!),
Ok, I just got my first apprenticeship at age 24. I worked long and hard for it and there have been people out there who worked even harder. I consider myself lucky. If you want some help read the articles on the tattoo now forum: http://www.tattoonow.com/facemaster.cfm?task=message_list&thread_index=4994&generate=1 If you don't feel like reading them then you probably don't want it that bad. Put together a portfolio of the best artwork you have ranging in different mediums to show versatility. And then when you have what you think is the best, make it better. It also helps the artist you ask has been working on you for a while. This shows the artist dedication and commitment. This is really all the help I can give you. When it all comes down to it, remember if you don't want it bad enough, there's always somebody else around the corner who'll take it from you.
