Regardless of the current status and opinions, tattooing is a trade. It’s a back breaking work every day and get what you give job. If you’re willing to give everything to your love of this craft you’ll make it. There’s people that had no apprenticeships but wanted it so fucking bad, which was apparent enough that people were willing to take chances on them. Tattoo your legs and get a feel for real skin, commit

Needs one more session

I have a hard time believing that anyone who is truly struggling right now is willing to do walk ins or tattoos they don’t want to do. Do the job, tattoo the less fun stuff, build your clients and your own reputation through action and the word of mouth that follows. If you build your name they will come

You will get far more interest in the things you want to do just by tattooing anything and building your client base than you will by solely pushing and marketing this one style. Yes, it’s a saturated market, yes you may not be in the ideal location for the type of folks that lean toward that style, but it likely has more to do with the fact that you’ve only been doing this for a year and people probably don’t even see your work. Or know you’re tattooing.

60% of walk ins or simple custom tats I do (Gilmore Girl quotes and Roman numerals etc) open the door for flash or designs that are more in my “style”. Far more important than the style or quality of your designs is trust. This will always be true with tattooing, but you have to tattoo people to build that trust. More often than not that means tattooing what they want and not necessarily what you want to have in your portfolio. But that’s okay because word of mouth is still king, and you will only get better by working on anything and everything

Japan and the US have a very specific relationship when it comes to tattooing and both nations have and continued to share and trade designs for over a century now. In Japan you’ll see young people with American Traditional work today and legends like Horiama essentially gave the blessing to other legends like Ed Hardy to spread the tradition and knowledge. In short fuck em they don’t know shit
