Instructions
Step 1
To get started, flip through magazines, catalogs with tattoo images, familiarize yourself with the most interesting of them and note for yourself some points that need to be taken into account in this work. Draw a tattoo using your individual style. These sketches will help you analyze, evaluate yourself, and will also be needed in the future.
Step 2
If you have a familiar tattoo artist, then this is a great opportunity to get a master class from him by being present and observing the progress of his work. In general, you can ask any master for this service, but this will require some material costs. An unconditional plus for you can be familiarity with the machine used for drawing (if you insert a simple pencil into the ink holder, then for a while you can "feel" the apparatus, which will help you in the future).
Step 3
Make a portfolio of your work, printed on paper earlier, and with it go to "conquer" tattoo parlors of your hometown. Today, many of them provide training opportunities for a period of several months. Of course, you cannot avoid spending money, the cost of classes is quite large.
Step 4
If you do not have the necessary material base, but you have unconditional talent, the director of the tattoo parlor can meet you halfway and provide free courses with subsequent training. This option also contributes to early training (this is in the interests of the employer). In the event that none of the proposed paths for some reason gave results, try to attend as many different thematic seminars as possible, make the "necessary acquaintances" and make a second attempt after a few weeks or months.
Step 5
Provide your portfolio to as many people as possible, ask their opinion, draw appropriate conclusions. In showrooms, showcase your work with confidence, showing an unwavering desire to learn. If they make you a decent offer with the need to move, agree, because this can be a great start.
Step 6
Try to listen attentively to specialists during the courses, do not miss theoretical and practical lessons. At the end of the training, you will be provided with a model for work and your future depends on how well you complete the task (the main point here is keeping calm and a steady hand). Walk towards your goal with a confident step, and then the result will be positive.
