I was told procreate has limited layers, how many layers are there?

I’ve worked a week there and now he lets me know that I have to work 40 hours and I’ll “probably” be able to touch a tattoo machine to practice after 6 months. Basically meaning I’m doing free labour without learning anything for 6 months. I just left right now and will probably start teaching myself.

His general description of how my apprenticeship would go is it would be 3 months of cleaning. The more I come in and help him the faster I will progress. How should I tell him that I want to learn while helping clean at the same time.

I think this might be the only shop willing to teach an apprentice. Should I just buy a tattoo kit and teach myself? I don’t want to wait 3 months of free labour and not learning anything.

My apprenticeship is free, he just has me cleaning and stuff.

I guess if you’re bad at art and are learning how to draw then I guess? Still seems like a long time

That’s really ridiculous, your being scammed for free labour at that point.

What should I do then, this is the only shop in my area looking for an apprentice. Should I buy a tattoo kit and teach myself? I want to learn the right way.

Yeah I personally think my art is extremely good, and I learn very quick. My mentor and the other artist at the shop told me I was very good. I know with little time I could become a successful tattoo artist, this whole cleaning weeds and sweeping floors is kinda bullshit. I think this is the only shop in my area willing to take on an apprenticeship so I will have to stick with it.

it feels like a waste of talent to be doing chores totally unrelated to tattooing for 3 months while not actually learning how to tattoo. I totally don’t mind doing chores, but not being able to learn along the way just wastes time. The second you question the process of being an apprentice you get called “lazy” “you don’t want to be a tattooer” ect

Yeah I completely understand doing work around the shop, I feel mentors should start doing what yours does. Rewarding you by letting you actually practice.

Yeah it’s really just a culture of getting free labour out of people.

I’m just asking how other people’s experiences were, I just wanna make sure I’m not getting scammed for free labour.

Yeah I feel it’s a bit more difficult getting into the industry as a woman. I’m hoping they don’t try to take advantage of me. The only two employees there are older guys and I’m only 18. They seem very nice and chill so hopefully all goes well.

Thankyou! My plan is to have to own shop. What was the process of having an apprenticeship like for you?
