@tattoocrazy10 thats awesome, but honestly more time under your belt would make you more trustworthy. some tat artists that are just starting out don’t have that level of talent. so more time is needed. this is just a generalization i’m guessing… but if you are doing that well as an artist already, i’d love to see your work!
@followhertrailoflies If it covers the cost of equipment that you use during your ENTIRE apprenticeship, then yea, you pay. Afterall once you start tattooing on your own you have to cover the cost of your equipment yourself ususally. That price is a little steep though.. the highest I’ve ever seen was 2000 a year for CONSTANT hands on training.
@LoveSquirrels420 no proof it was you though is there?
will tattooing you self then just bringing that into the shop to show them as your art wont that help a lil.
your better off staring your own bizz, and learning and doing it yourself fuck this lady and all the tattoo shops that want you to pay them, fuck that
im a beggening tattoo artist, and i can tell you this is bullshit,i tattooed somebody after a week of tattoo, and the first tattoo i did was on myself, i have almost a full have sleeve going that i did myself on my own arm and it looks fucking awsome, i have people ask me all the time about my tats and they ask were i got them and i tell them, i did them and there like how long have you been tattooing, and i go about two months and there blown away.
@ptrider12341 i live in albany and i know the tattoo school youre talking about!
p.s.- dont go to intern/work at dead presidents lounge on madison ave, its a very VERY dirty place!!
i wouldnt mind being the cleaner and errand boy but NOT if ive handed over cash to train. She is basically advertising herself and her studio and not the greater tattoo world
@canvasyou2 Check out my videos
You pay for your apprenticeship by doing the cleaning and other work. You don’t pay money for your apprenticeship.. you earn it. Check out TeachMeToTattoo or Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo…Best of Luck
Plastic tubes and tips , new needles , throw it all out / thEre you go / why they say we are not the same and infect peOple / so they get to robb people for $ thats why / screw a “shop” no better then home tattoo artist that is good , not any one that just pics up a machine and tattoos with no sKill at all/ i speak for amazing “home” tattoo artist
in addition they charge this apprenticeship fee because they are scumbags if you are doing an internship in other fields the fact that you are working for free is a trade for services. im giving my time for your knowlledge please and thank you. They charge theese fees to discourage ppl from comming into their field and proffession ,and they are scared that you will become better then them open your own tattoo shop across the street or around the corner and take their clientele.
alot of theese tattoo artist’s act like they are above and beyond most of them like this braud did’nt pay 10,000 to get into this business they came into this biz before the craze ,and the Miami ink and L.A ink’s and now that more people want tatt’s and more people with an artistic talent want to seek this field as a profession …. theese already established artist want to make something off of the expansion as well. it’s the american way….
I’m an artist but to pay THOUSANDS of dollars, being they’re maid and doing nothing but cleaning and signing papers, when I’m there to improve and get in the business, but instead I’m kissing ass! Hell no! No way, I’ll continue teaching myself and start my own business! Fuck that shit!!!
5 to 10 thousand dollars!!!! To clean for a year??? :O
thats not fair….. i have a friend and his dad is a tattoo artist,,, i might ask him for free…. wayyy
waste ur time !!?? u think ppl just pay to come and hang around you ??
instead of learning and taking advantage of every damn minute that has costed them monthes and monthes of work to afford it .
when i open my own tattoo shop ill let ppl come and learn for free , u know why asshole because i want to give others a chance too >_< ( very angry cause its so damn expensive )

You can learn on your own, you don’t need to be someones slave to learn what you have passion for.I have not set foot in one tattoo shop, but i do have a tattoo[very large one]And unknowingly to the artist who was doing me tat, i observed her and learned alot.[she does it out of her home[16yr experienced and used to work at Tattoo's By lou AND quit because they were assholes. ]
Did my first tat 2 days ago.
Did great ;]
She makes some very good points. When ever your are training someone in any industry in theory you are losing two people. 1. Person as they are not trained and also 2. person as they have to take the time to train the first person.
So I see why some tattoo studios (not all) would want to charge a fee.
I know this easy to learn way to become a professional tattooist. I am showing you this because it will save you time and money.

It worked for me, although I am not professional yet, but I am definitely getting there.
@ptrider12341 no affence but she is a veteran in tattooing and i think she knows
this is non sense. shes not an authority on apprenticeships. im about to go to tattoo school in albany its an 80 hr intensive. not 2 yrs. anyone that is stupid enough to take two yrs of cleaning the shops floors and bathroom and sucking up to the “artists” on the hopes that maybe they will actually show you something about doing a tattoo, should really get there heads examined.
she is preaching dysfunctional old school apprenticing yet look at her site and see the hippocracy
what ever…
my first tattoo i did was a full back tattoo when i was 17.. 1 now… pissed cuz i lost the pics of it… but im not gona do that… best way to becom a tat artist is not to do tattoo on people but practice..even thothat tat was the shit
no need for collage man just practice at home study and broadin you thought on different designs one you have a high quality portfolio just try for a apprenticship but mostly people get turned down 90% of the time. it took me 13 shops till one guy took me on
i think there is o few things to go through ive been in a few parlors and my friend is a tattoo artist. There is a course you may have to go to for pathogens thats what its like in ireland. you can easily learn about pathogens through the red cross thats where i learned it
