Need a tattoo aprenticeship?

i%26#039;ve been wanting to be a tattooist for a while, bought my own kit and have been practicing but i can%26#039;t get anyone to take me on and learn me, i dont know if it cos i%26#039;m a woman and its mostly a male industry so they%26#039;ll think i%26#039;m wasting my/their time, but its something that i%26#039;%26#039;d like to make a career out of, and no ones giving me a chance, so does anyone know anyone thats taking on?

If you have done tats on people be sure to take a picture that way when you walk in looking for a tattooing job you have something to show that you can do the work and are good at it. And don%26#039;t ever forget your sketch book. Keep bugging them until somebody talks to you and make sure that you aren%26#039;t dragging loads of drama behind you. More and more women are getting into the business.

If you%26#039;re good at it, why not take some photographs of your work, start amongst friends and if you really are good enough, why not start from your own home %26quot;From little acorns grow...%26quot;

Reply:If you are in the US you can start by contacting your state liscensing board-- its a little different in each state, but they would be able to tell you who is liscensed to train. You can also try emailing the APT (alliance of professional tatooist) site. They would be able to get you in contact with someone in your area.





First of all, but that machine down until you get in an apprenticeship!! Nothing makes tattoo artists madder than people tattooing without training-and there are too many health/saftey concerns to do it out of your house! It is usually several months into an apprenticeship before they let you pick up a machine. Get a portfolio of your Art together. You want to show a wide range of styles and work. Start saving your money, an apprenceships costs! Vist shops, get known by the artists. Go to conventions. The more you show you are serious, the more serious they will take you. You have to find the right fit.
