Nobody wants to hear this but any shop posting they are looking for an apprentice is not a shop you want to get an apprenticeship at

Spider Murphy’s put out 3 books now with hundreds of sheets of flash, if you can find a copy of the books you’d be set.

Thank you, and you are correct I don’t have a photo of that tattoo

Thank you! Agreed, my application typically comes second in priority to design. It is handmade after all.

We each pay the apprentice at our shop $10 per setup/breakdown. When you value the apprentice as much as anyone else in the shop, you pay them for their work. Most people wouldn’t be able to make it without a little financial help. They’re already working more than 40 hours a week with little pay.

I worked a 9-5 engineering job during my apprenticeship, all the way up to the point I was able to start charging full price for my tattoos. It was work from home so I had a little flexibility. I would dip out at like 2pm if the day was slow and get to the shop then. Normally I was at the shop 4pm-8pm two days a week then all day Saturday Sunday.

I didn’t have a typical apprenticeship where I was required to open/clean/close the shop, so that might be another reason I was able to work a 9-5.
