too many assumptions, most people come in for $25 tattoos and it's mostly going to be mistranslated chinese character or tiny stars on white chicks feet every once and a while

most tattoo artist do not work all day and your shop will be empty most of the day unless you are really fucking good

people who are serious about 10K tattoos are going to travel very far to get a good one

Tattoo internships are like 25% learning to tattoo, 75% being the shop bitch
You're paid nothing, treated like shit and not taken seriously. It's rough
It's much harder to do it any other way though, getting into tattooing is equally about who you know as it is your talent

can already tell this guy is a fraud. no one in the industry calls it an "internship", it's an apprenticeship.
and being the shop-bitch is the whole point. pay your dues. scrub the floors, clean those tubes, show some devotion to the trade and the person who is giving up their time to teach you. you expected to learn for free?

I made more than $12k this year, that was just from tattooing
Tattooing isn't my life at the moment, it's one of my jobs and (hopefully) will be my career in the future
I'm in college and I do graphic design at the moment, I make most of my money from that and I share an apartment with a couple friends so that helps save money

Yeah, I think I can bear that.

Is a small tattoo on an exposed part of the body social suicide, even for non-white collar jobs?
I'd like to get a small symbol on my right hand and my lower cheek - nothing extravagant Tyson-style, but I got told that it'd get me blackballed.
