I know that I already posted this question, but I didn’t realize that once you pick a best answer, it closes it to get answers…I wanted to see whatelse I could find out

I know how you have to go about becoming a tattoo artist, but my problem is that I have to be able to survive on my own in the process. I really, really want to become a tattoo artist and I think that I have the talent to do it! I love everything about the industry, I have tattoos and piercings, I have get along well with people already in the industry… Mainly, I am afraid that if I become an apprentice, I will have to leave my full time job, with great benefits, and get a really, really bad paying part time job and not be able to pay my bills. Does anyone have some answers or words of advice that would help me in my quest?

One of my friends wants to be a tattoo artist and she knew I wanted a tattoo and offered to give me one for free. My parents are okay with it, their only rule was they wouldn’t sign for anything and if I can find a legal way around the paperwork they don’t care what I do with my body. So would it be legal for her to give me a tattoo? I would love to help her out and I would enjoy a tattoo but I don’t want to cause any potential trouble.

I’m designing a tattoo in memory of my parents for my sister and I to both get together. I have a symbol to represent my dad (an Armenian liberty symbol, he was Armenian and wore this symbol on a necklace my whole life), but I can’t come up with one to represent my mom. She was extremely intelligent, the most selfless person I’ve ever met, very caring and compassionate, strong, and loved reading, photography, and interior design. She was of Danish descent but that wasn’t really much a part of her life. She did spend several years of her childhood in Italy, though. Any ideas? Is there a website with good graphics that you know of? Any guidance is much appreciated! Thanks!

I am getting two tattoos to represent each of my children. I want something completely unique (no names, birthdays, hand or foot prints, etc). What is the best advice that you can give to help me pick a unique and meaningful tattoo for my boys? I will probably design it myself and have someone draw it, but I just can’t think of the best way to represent them without having a tattoo that everybody else has. Thanks!

All my life my mother has been a single parent to me and my sister. Needless to say the 3 of us are VERY close and we’ve been talking about getting matching tattoos. Does anyone have any ideas of a good tattoo that’d work for a female and a male and have special meaning for a mother and her son and daughter?

I generally have wanted to do game graphics and programming. However a recent thought has struck me. I seen one girl in college that wanted to be a tattoo artist and recently the idea struck me that it might be a neat thing to do. I just want to know what I have to put into it and what I could get out of it.
