I'm located in the bay area and I'm looking to apprentice somewhere locally. If anyone knows of a studio please let me know. I have recently graduated from san jose state in Fine Arts and I have been interested in becoming a tattoo artist for years. I make sculptures/paintings/drawings and I have come to find it quite difficult to get into the career path of tattooing without knowing someone.
Thanks!

Everyone is going to give you the same answer, get a portfolio of your artwork together and just start talking to the local shop owners (in person)....
People might be more apt to help you if you shared some of your work, if you have real talent it might excite some random stranger to help you out...
This same basic post is posted on the site weekly and if you expect more than a generic answer you are going to have to give us more...
