What does it take to become a tattoo artist?
It seems like a cool job, right? Itβs creative, you can wear what you want and be yourself. If you eventually have your own studio, it can be lucrative, and you have the freedom to choose your own hours and take holidays when you want to. But just what does it take to become a tattoo artist?
