I had an informal apprenticeship with a guy about a year ago, learned the basics, and have been looking to get into a shop to do a real apprenticeship for awhile now. I take every minute I get out of every day to learn more about tattooing, whether by studying old sets of flash and magazines, watching interviews with old tattoo artists, getting tattooed, tattooing myself and friends, or hanging around shops. Since I held that first machine and finished that first tattoo, I could never work a regular 9-5 job again. Even if I stay broke, living paycheck to paycheck, I've never been happier than I am right now. Thats all I want.
