Do this to avoid ending your career before it even starts.įINALLY! You're able to tat on your first real client.

Tattoo artists are known to work for long periods of time and uncomfortably contort their bodies to design that perfect tattoo. But until then, also work on your fitness a little. Keep practicing and you might be able to finally tattoo a live person. Your hand is still quite shaky and that is a no-no in this career. Your tattooing practice is coming along quite nicely and you made a pretty good impression. Your mentor is intrigued to see how well you can transfer your drawing skill from paper to an actual inanimate object. You're no longer nursing the desk but you have been tasked to laying out equipment, mixing ink, sterilizing the gear, and guess what? To finally tattoo on something! Not someone, but a someTHING. You've been advised to begin building your portfolio so you can increase your artistic skills and maybe snag a client who is impressed by your work. It doesn't hurt to pick up a few cups of coffee for your fellow colleagues either. For now, you're working the front desk and greeting customers as well running errands when needed. Unfortunately, you haven't been granted that privilege just yet. In order to become a great tattoo artist, you have to study under an experienced tattoo artist.
