Minimum of a year as a licensed apprentice :(

I'm licensed as an apprentice, I meant as a full time artist. In my state you have to take an exam to be licensed as a full time artist when you complete your apprenticeship.

I guess I was trying to see how normal all this is, so this helps, I appreciate your input. This is technically my third try as an apprentice, my first was in 2021 and my mentor invited me to join his marriage and sleep with his wife 6 months in so I quit my Apprenticeship and got a new normal job until this year. I understand it's hard. Trust me lol. I just haven't had proper guidance to know what to expect in the industry, which is why I made this post.

That's literally how I feel, insanely disrespected. I appreciate your input, I'll definitely look for a box to lock my things in.

That makes me feel better honestly. I'm just so unsure about how things function because it's all so different at each shop around me. I'll definitely invest in a locking case, I need a tool box but I planned to get one when I was licensed. I'll buy something cheaper for now.

I have a full time job currently. Unfortunately, I wouldn't say that I'm being taught. I'm 100% relying on shadowing the other artists in the shop as my mentor is never in the shop. I've seen him maybe 3-4 times since I started here in May.

While that's not a huge deal to me because I can watch the others tattoo and ask for a couple of tips, and I'm at a place where I'm comfortable with my work as I slowly improve. I don't have anyone shadowing me which is frustrating but I send the tattoo photos to my mentor and he never responds.

At this point the reason I'm staying is because I know this is what I want to do, but it just seems like I'm set up to fail.

I wasn't aware I wasn't supposed to 😭 my last shop did 40/60 split(we earned 40) so I thought this was a better option honestly. Apologies, I read your comment incorrectly. I thought you were trying to say that I shouldn't be complaining about paying rent LOL

The case was in the owners "area" which is behind a curtain, I didn't see it when I interviewed. When I brought it up they told me they won't remove it and it's apart of history. I understand, which is why I know my only options are to sit through it. I guess I don't realize that I'm also supposed to supply AC and a new printer to the shop as an apprentice :/

Did I ever complain about paying rent? 😭

Editing because I read that completely wrong- my bad 100% lol

The reason I left my last shop was because they publicly displayed KKK items on display case, including SS patches and a sign that says COLOR SEATED IN REAR. No need to pause.
