You "need" nothing to be a tattoo artist in the way of secondary education. Most tattoo artists have been drawing since they could hold a pencil, so it goes without saying that you should be a competent artist and can draw virtually anything that someone requests of you, this is especially important if you intend to become more of a custom artist as opposed to a run of the mill tattoo artist who simply does flash tattoos. You will be required to have a certificate of accomplishment for Bloodborne Pathogen Training, and it will be in your benefit to be certified in CPR and Basic First Aid. This is the only actual documentation that you need to be a tattoo artist working in a shop aside from having a solid portfolio of artwork and any tattoos that you have done yourself. Other than this, learn anything and everything that you can about tattoos, application, techniques, history, different styles, terminology, etc., etc.

alternativley, go get a proper job... dont be a chav all your life.
