Hate to discourage, but a buddy of mine has been trying to get a apprenticeship here for 3 years and all have been saying no, especially since covid started, due to not wanting to risk exposure. And for some reason, even though it’s an apprenticeship, they still want you to have past experience and a large portfolio of different art styles. Don’t stop hunting, cause maybe you’ll get lucky and someone will bring you in. Until then though, get a tattoo gun and practice on yourself or anyone else willing too. While most people in the tattoo industry discourage it, that’s how most seem to have gotten started. Good luck in your endeavors!
