The tattoo industry...

Ursy · 09-19-2010, 07:39 AM

I'm thinking of a career change - I want to do something more in tune with my own creativity. In short, I'm thinking of becoming a tattoo artist...

Anybody know anything at all about the tattoo industry? Even if it's just you telling me what it was like when you got your tattoo? I'd like to hear about all aspects of it - just want to get a feel for it is all, and learn a bit about it before I find out the nitty gritty about apprenticeships and such.

Another thing, I don't have any tattoos yet... maybe I will someday, but I haven't come up with the right concept for something I want permanently on my body just yet.

I imagine that this lack of tattoos would kind of mar my credibility as a tattoo artist - what do you think?
