Here are 3 things you need to look for in a potential mentor or shop when seeking an apprenticeship! 1.) The shop you choose should be someplace you yourself would want to get tattooed in. A clean and professional environment will set the tone for your clientele as well as the vibe for where you’ll be learning. 2.) The mentor you choose is possibly the most important part of your tattoo journey. Make sure you choose someone who inspires you. The artist you decide to learn from should not only have clean and crisp tattoos but a good set up to keep their books organized. 3.) Make sure that the person you choose has time for you!! If you’re at the shop more then your mentor that’s a huge 🚩🚩! If your mentor isn’t asking you to draw or practice on fake skin you should be asking for assignments. On that same topic your mentor should encourage you to watch them tattoo and ask questions! If they get mad at you asking questions that’s also a 🚩🚩🚩.
