Answer 1

My nephew is a professional tatooist, and has his own shop.  He learnt to tatoo by becoming friendly with a local tatooist, helping out, watching him work and eventually starting to do some tatoos.  He also spent a lot of time learning how to draw well which is important before attempting the real thing.  So practice your drawing skills,Ask a local tatooist can you help out a bit, he might even pay you  Good luck
