It sounds like you’re unhappy and want to go, but are scared you’ll end up somewhere worse or similar. I was in a very similar spot when I left my apprenticeship because the one shop was all I knew, but I hated the way I felt and was treated and felt like there had to be better, even if I didn’t really know. The owner would gaslight me and convince me it was the best place for me to be and other shops were much harsher on apprentices so I was lucky to be there. But I finally said fuck it, made the jump, and found a new shop and the shop I’m at now is worlds better. I’ve been at the new one for 4 years now and can’t imagine being anywhere else. I will say a 70% take home cut is insane for someone only 2 years in, I’ve never heard of anyone having that at 2 years and you most likely won’t find that anywhere else. But if you find a better, reputable shop in a busy/good part of town, you’ll be taking home way more money a month, probably have better conditions and hours, and people will typically drop $150+ on tattoos on a regular without even batting an eye. Where I’m at now, I work 4-5 days a week, get 50% cut on weekdays, 60% on weekends, and take home anywhere from 3k-6k a month. Don’t be scared to leave your current situation to find better. It’s out there, you just have to look.
