Hi! I'm an aspiring tattoo artist. Just wanted to say greetings. I'm currently in the process of building my art portfolio so I can start looking for a tattoo apprenticeship. Any tips on improving my chances of securing an apprenticeship would be much appreciated. I know it's tough to get into but I am determined. I'm going to get a bloodborne patho class done soon and I'm also going to get some tattoos done at the shop I'm interested in getting the apprenticeship at.

Here are some pictures of my art. Thanks for looking!

Your art is good, but it's not really like any style of actual tattoo..If you want to build a portfolio to try to get a tattoo apprenticeship, draw some shit that looks like tattoos. Buy some traditional flash and linework and trace it till you're good enough to draw it, then draw your interpretations of it. Ya dig?

Thanks Evilday, I understand where you're coming from. I'm starting to change how I draw. Trying to avoid line work that won't transfer as well when it's tattooed.
