Why is getting a tattoo aprenticeship so difficult?


We are running near the year 2008 and the world is overwelmed with people wanting to learn how to tattoo. Nowadays everybody who has some sence of artistic talent or who thinks they can draw, want to learn to tattoo and make it as a tattoo artist. Most of those people see it as a glamorous job, with loads of money to be earned, loads of travelling and an easy life. While in reality it’s nowhere near as glamorous and easy as most think. Enhance the many shops opening and closing all the time, the amount of people walking around with tattoos that look more like a kids drawing then a real piece of art. Very few tattoo artists make it in the tattooworld without a tattoo apprenticeship, and those who are selftought, still go knocking on doors, search the net and try to get as much free advice on how to tattoo, as they can.
