The Only Guarantee You’ll Ever Need to Become A Tattoo Artist

“The Saddest Thing In Life Is Wasted Talent” – Robert DeNiro, A Bronx Tale.

We know that becoming a Tattoo Artist and trying to figure out how to become a Tattoo Artist is front-and-center on a lot of people’s minds. We also know that making a career change at any stage in life can be scary. But what’s scarier than a life filled with regrets? 

Let’s face it, you were born with a unique talent; you’re an amazing artist. Don’t let that talent go to waste. Don’t let society fool you into believing you can’t make a lucrative career as a working artist. Don’t let the old-school stereotypes about tattoo artists fool you into believing it’s not the perfect career for you. 

Who We Have Helped Become Tattoo Artists

Here at Body Art & Soul Tattoos, we’ve helped people from all walks of life change careers at every age to pursue their passion for art. Careers like Medical Doctors, Professional Athletes, College Professors, Police Officers, and Financial Advisors, to name a few, have made the switch to becoming tattoo artists. 

These professionals had years of schooling, degrees, and experience under their belts and knew that if they didn’t follow their dreams, they would always look back and think ‘what if’? Don’t let the ‘what ifs’ plague you!

A Guaranteed Job Offer When Becoming A Tattoo Artist

When creating our tattoo apprenticeship here at Body Art & Soul Tattoos, we knew we needed to create some comfortability for these professionals to leave their careers to pursue their careers in art. This understanding, along with following the tradition of tattoo apprenticeships from hundreds of years ago, are the reasons behind our Guaranteed Job Offer. 

Upon completion of your tattoo apprenticeship with Body Art & Soul Tattoos, we offer all of our completed apprenticeship graduates a career as a Professional Tattoo Artist in any of our locations! (Currently 5 locations nationwide & growing). What a sweet deal! 

What Apprentices Learn In Their Tattoo Apprenticeship At Body Art & Soul Tattoos

To review, here is the short list of what you’ll learn during your tattoo apprenticeship with Body Art & Soul:

• Drawing techniques

Our newest location is located in Ybor City, on 3rd Avenue right next to beautiful boutiques, tasty restaurants, fun bars, and clubs right on 7th Avenue. Ybor City is the perfect place for aspiring artists! It has the look and feel of NYC & LA at a fraction of the price. And who could resist no personal income tax? It’s no wonder the area’s population has been booming! Tampa is also home to music history. Music legends like Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, and Cab Calloway got their starts by frequenting clubs on Central Ave. It totally makes sense that an aspiring artist like you learns to tattoo in the same area where these greats became legends.
