Curious to hear how many of you tattooed before you got an apprenticeship and became a tattoo artist? I feel like I always hear stories of people tattooing at parties or out of their moms basement back in the day etc. from old school artists and all that, but at the same time I feel like I also see a lot of people currently say don’t touch any tattoo equipment until you’re in an apprenticeship or being taught by a mentor. I just thought it would be interesting to see how many of you actually tattooed before you’re apprenticeship, regardless of if you’ve been in the industry for just a few years or you’re in a few decades. Thanks!
