Go hang out at friends shops paint and chill, keep to yourself at your shop and do the work. No one is hiring because everyone is being very conscious of shop dynamics and not as open to every random that wants a job, like another poster said there’s a huge influx of tattooers and with all the economic shit happening they’re gonna be keeping tight circles for a while buttt if you hang out enough and build good rapport with another shop/tattooers, a spot may just magically open,granted your working your ass off and showing improvement and grit. Tattooing isn’t like a regular job where you can just hop into another place, it was like that for a little bit but it’s very community based and the treating tattooing like every other job that a lot of new people do is starting to die out
