But there is still the problem of you not knowing what you are doing. You see I order everything on line. But I order from people you CAN’T order from because I own a licensed studio. I have never been scammed. Why? Because I know what companies are reputable, and which are not, and if I don’t know a company I don’t deal with them.
I know what I need, I know where to get it from and I know when to get it. You are buying a kit. Something no pro would waste money on. Why don’t you learn the tattooing industry first?
I understand where you are coming from entirely, but I never claimed to be a professional.. What’s wrong with buying something to start with, learning, gaining a mentor and becoming an apprentice someday? Is schooling not allowed in your world as well? Did you wake up one day a professional? Everyone has to start somewhere, and its usually from the bottom up am I wrong? Me loving the art of tattoo and the beauty that becomes of it, and wanting to learn REGARDLESS of where or how I start isn’t what gives tattooing a bad name.. it’s people like yourself that shit on anyone you think is “less than” because they aren’t “you” that gives it a bad name.. So many of my friends and family are tattoo artists and own their own studios as well, and yes, that’s something to be proud of but they certainly don’t shit on someone who is willing and trying to learn the trade, because of the passion and natural talent they have for it.. I came to this forum to gain advice, not get denounced from a guy with a needle on a power trip. THAT’S what gives you a bad name.
