jose’s Answer

find a tattoo artist community and ask all the questions you have. Tattoo artists are awesome and build strong relationships. If you don't know where to starts that's okay. If there's a local tattoo shop, show up and ask they offer an apprentice program. Ask them all the questions about how to practice for tattooing, because it's not exactly the same as drawing on paper or a tablet- but there is overlap. A lot of tattoo artists have great tips and suggestions, and you're only gonna get them by approaching them. If there isn't a local tattoo shop you can visit, find tattoo artists online and approach them with curiosity. Like I said- most tattoo artists love seeing other artists.
Best of success! and of course- practice as much as you can.

Hi Sophie,

A tattoo artist as a career can be exciting and rewarding if you love drawing and have a passion for art. Start by refining your drawing skills and creating a diverse portfolio. Research the tattoo industry, secure an apprenticeship for hands-on training, and understand health and safety regulations. Invest in quality equipment, practice on synthetic skin, and network with other artists and potential clients. Obtain necessary licenses or certifications and continue shaping your skills. Good luck!

Sydney’s Answer

As a student, the best place to start now is to practice, practice, practice drawing! Tattoo artists perhaps the artists who need the most flexibility when it comes to style, subject, and general aesthetics of their work. This means practicing a wide variety of style is important. When you continue into your career, you will find your own niche and specialization, but it is important to have a great foundation from the beginning.
