How do you go about becoming a tatoo artist?
Posted on February 25th, 2010 by admin
I’m just curious, how do you go about becoming a tatoo artist? Where can you go to have tatoo artist lessons and obtain a license?
Buy the equipment — it’s not too expensive. Practice on fruit. I’ve heard grapefruit works well. Then practice on yourself. Then get a friend to volunteer. You may not have as hard a time as you think if you’ve practiced a lot and did one or two pieces OK on yourself.
Then worry about getting a license, if such is necessary where you live.
At least that’s what I’d do. I have one or two people I know who’ve started and made decent progress. I’m more of a painter but one of my favorite artists started to do tattoo work and has posted some of it and maybe some other information (I vaguely remember) on her page
