Tattoo artists do not attend formal schooling. There is an apprenticeship.
The regulations for tattoo school length vary by location. In Virginia, according to www.tattoo-training.net, school takes 750 hours. This leads to professional licensure. As a professional tattoo artist I can tell you that there is no such thing as a mandatory tattoo school. Some states require that the artist have been through an apprenticeship for a certain amount of time, but there is no requirement to go to "tattoo school." As a matter of fact, most reputable tattoo artists laugh at the notion of a tattoo school. These schools promise to teach you to be a tattoo artist in 2 weeks... The typical apprenticeship lasts for at least 1-2 years. Having said that, how do you expect a classroom full of students to learn in 2 weeks what a single student takes years to learn in a hands-on environment?
you ask a tattoo artist and sometimes they fade away
1. How long have you been a tattoo artist? 2. Do you have any tattoos? 3. Do you have a favorite design to make on people? 4. What made you want to be a tattoo artist? 5. As a kid, did you ever want to be a tattoo artist? 6. Do you do this as a way of creativity? 7. Why do you like your job? 8. Have people ever told you before that you should be a tattoo artist?
You can't legally. Anyone tattooing without a license to do so is breaking the law......and that is probably not the only law that they're breaking. I am a professional state licensed tattoo artist in NH.
Completely subjective question. It all depends on your natural talent and the amount of time you have to offer to learn. In most instances, an apprentice serves at least a year under a tattoo artist before they are told that they are ready and can start to really become a "tattoo artist".
depending on your skin type a tattoo can stay raised for a very long time depending on the type of tattoo and how gentle your artist was.
You will have to ask your tattoo artist.
No, getting a tattoo does not increase the risk of contracting or transmitting AIDS as long as proper sterilization and safety measures are followed by the tattoo artist.
The typical day of a tattoo artist is long and interesting. They work with all different kinds of people and have really a hard job when they have to draw out every single picture wanted to be tattooed on a body.
I've already bet tattoo artist 2 its easy just stay in side the line and don't hold the needle down to long you'll loose your customer or lose all your progress.
I think you can wear pretty much anything... as long as you're wearing something........
