new tattooist

hey peeps im just interested to know why is that so many people seem to be quite bitter towards people just starting up tattooing i have just started doing the odd few mainly on fake skin and a couple on my hubby oh and one on myself but surely everyone has to start somewhere and its hard to find a studio that will take anyone on in apprenticeship i will say i wouldnt be going around and calling myself a tattoo artist for many years to come yet lol but ive got to start somewhere dont you think :)

The main reason is that people who buy a tattoo "kit" and start jacking people up are not tattooists.. Most never have set foot in a blood bourne pathogen class and spread disease. reuse tubes without an autoclave. Ect. Ect. Ect. And when someone comes up with hep from a tattoo....its bad in general for the industry. They fail to mention it was done in billy bobs kitchen with a rusty nail.

Rusty nail? oh come on be honest we save those for the indingent! we actually use rust fish hooks! lol oops damit there i go letting trade secrets out.lol
