Top 5 Things to Become a Tattoo Artist in New York City

In The City Where Dreams Are Made Of, Yours Can Come True!

Location: Brooklyn, NY

So you bought a tattoo machine on amazon during your stint in quarantine and couldn’t figure it out for the life of you how to even turn it on? Or have you always imagined life as a successful, Professional Tattoo Artist?
Either way, you are an aspiring tattoo artist but you have no idea where to start. But you live in NYC, a concrete jungle where dreams are made of! The city that never sleeps! Surely, you can easily find a tattoo apprenticeship that will guide you in your tattoo journey, right?

The sad fact is that there are few Professional Tattoo Artists who want to spend time answering questions from aspiring tattoo artists about the tattoo business. And even fewer who want to teach you the necessary skills needed to be successful in the tattoo industry.

However, if you’re lucky enough to find an artist who will give you the time of day, they may have you doing menial labor, scrubbing toilets, running errands, walking dogs, washing cars, and a million other things that have nothing to do with tattooing.

1. Avoid “Online Tattoo Course” Scams!

Another scenario you could be even worse. You could find yourself in the middle of a scam! You googled ‘tattoo training’ and found a program that promises you great success as a tattoo artist after a few weeks of training. What? Too good to be true? YES!

Don’t fall for online scammers who promise you a career as a Professional Tattoo Artist after a few weeks. This is absolutely impossible. Absolutely, truly, impossible! These people are trying to steal from you, so avoid them at all costs.

2. Don’t Give Up – You Found Ink Different Tattoo School!

At this point, you may be on the verge of giving up on the idea of a career in tattooing because the obstacles seem to outweigh the opportunities. We urge you to NOT GIVE UP!
