Hey everyone,I’m new to forums and to this site. Fist off, all the respect in the world to accomplished tattoo artists who have earned the right to call themselves just that. I fully understand the need to find an apprenticeship in order to protect yourself and others from the pitfalls of unsafe tattoo practices. My question is this, I live 3 hours away from the nearest tattoo parlor and my girlfriend(who had been giving homemade tattoos with a walkman motor gun and guitar string type machine) wants to get into tattooing. She has done really professional looking pieces of work with this caveman setup, her skill is undeniable. Since we’ve been together I have convinced her to wait and go through proper channels. Apprenticeship looks near to impossible from here. Is there anything besides unscrupulous tattoo schools that she can look into? :confused:
