Tattoo Apprentice??
I have an interview tomorrow at a tattoo shop for an internship there. I have always wanted to enter the business and learn this trade. I have even bought a machine a while ago and practiced on myself.
Obviously though, it is a bitch to get anyone to help teach you the skills and hygiene in order to become a professional. So, finally I have a chance at learning something I've always wanted to do and tomorrow is the main event. I plan to bring my portfolio and prepare to answer why they should choose me ..etc...... I even plan to bring an original drawing and give it to them. Yes I'm that desperate.
Anyway, I was wondering if anybody on totse had any experience being a tattoo apprentice, interviewing for one, or working at a shop. Any tips or suggestions would be highly appreciated. thnx

Also, if they have one on their ribs, apply the transfer (if they are doing outlines) when the person's arm is down as far by their side (naturally) as possible as to avoid distortion.
Good luck! Check out my thread on Reinvent Yourself to see my tats.
