@themindfultattooist: I've had countless messages and comments the past week asking me about the best ways to become a #tattooartist - this might not be what everyone wants to hear, but it's honest and sincere and NOT some grift. Old school advice! This is not just a job. It's a lifestyle. And it doesn't happen overnight. #tattooapprentice #rosesandrivets805 #venturacounty
Great advice! It is an art form. I’d be too scared to do it, but I appreciate good work (by good work I mean a personable tattoo artist understanding the needs and wants of people like me 🙂 and having it translating into artwork me.

What about taking a course at a tattoo school?

I am curious, do you have any favorite books/resources for classic tattoo flash? For practicing that is. Thank you for sharing this advice! :)

Every time I get a new tattoo I learn so much as my artist mentors his apprentices.

Hi! I really wanna get something like this done, but I don’t know how much money it would be. I’ve asked a few other artists but I’ve never gotten a response so I don’t know if I’m being rude or not.

Thank you so much! I have been struggling with the pressure of having a portfolio, I don’t really enjoy drawing but I do enjoy tattooing for some reason so I trace designs I find on Pinterest and practice tattooing on fake skin. I am looking for more professional assistance tho 😅
