If you are a budding tattoo artist and have always dreamed of becoming a tattoo artist, your first step is to gain proper knowledge of the process of tattooing. Of course, you will also need to have some artistic skills as well in the areas of drawing and painting.

Before you ever start practicing how to tattoo though, you need to learn the basics of tattooing such as how to setup a tattoo machine, what needles to use, the proper inks and methods of actually laying down ink.

PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT ADVOCATE SELF TATTOOING. THE ONLY TATTOO PRACTICE YOU SHOULD BE DOING IS ON FAKE SKINS OR FRUIT ONLY. DO NOT TATTOO ON OTHER PEOPLE OR YOURSELF UNTIL YOU HAVE ACTUALLY HAD AN APPRENTICESHIP AND/OR LICENSED TO DO SO.
