You want an apprenticeship, not a starter kit...
Seriously.

| The only way to get any good at this is to practice on live pitbulls. The meaner they are, the more like human skin they are. So, I strongly suggest you go around poking the most vicious pitbulls you can find with needles. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time. |

If you are not impressed with your portfolio, and don't know how to make it better, SHOULDN'T THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING?
Not trying to b e rude, but NOT EVERYONE is supposed to be a tattoo artist just because a few lackies got a television show. I used to work on a golf course...and I sucked at it...so I quit. |

| I'd be looking for someone who knew how to impress people. If they had to ask me, they would be ruled out. |
