I know how you have to go about becoming a tattoo artist, but my problem is that I have to be able to survive on my own in the process. I really, really want to become a tattoo artist and I think that I have the talent to do it! I love everything about the industry, I have tattoos and piercings, I have get along well with people already in the industry… Mainly, I am afraid that if I become an apprentice, I will have to leave my full time job, with great benefits, and get a really, really bad paying part time job and not be able to pay my bills. Does anyone have some answers or words of advice that would help me in my quest?

I tend to scratch when I’m deeply asleep and won’t notice it and when I notice it I already scratched my tattoo and I’ve done this to my previous tattoo and it actually tore my tattoo and it was a bit noticable and this is my third tattoo and I don’t want it to tear. How should I cover my tattoo when i go to bed? With a paper towel around my shoulder? I know that tattoos do need air for the healing process. What should I do?
my tattoo is located on the shoulder.
I think I probably have to clip my nails on the left hand because then I won’t scratch. I can’t put a sock on b/c it’s summer and I’ll be sweating too much.
I do sleep with a large t-shirt but then it rises when I sleep. Even if I wear a long sleeve shirt I can still scratch but it won’t be directly to the skin.

I’m planning on getting a tattoo on my foot this Friday morning. I know tattoos scab up and that if the scab gets pulled off it affects the inking of the tattoo. I have soccer practice the following Tuesday in the late evening. By wearing my cleats, will the rubbing ruin the tattoo? Even if it’s wrapped?

I really think they look tough, but I have ambitions in life.
I don’t think a tattoo on the neck speaks professionalism.

My sister has an ankle braclet tattoo w/ charms. Each has an initial for her kids. She can add on. What are some other nice ideas you could think of?

Kate asked:


It the kind that Natasha Kai has, it is sorta like a tribal tattoo.

My cousin just found out she’s pregnant, but she’s worried because when her best friend died, she got a tattoo on her lower abdomen in commemoration of her. She’s worried that when the baby grows and she’s nine months pregnant, if the tattoo will be damaged. Also, will the ink hurt the baby?

I am thinking about getting butterflies tattoed up my spine, I am just wondering what the risks of this are of getting a tattoo there, or for the matter a tattoo anywhere. I am also wondering if people think this is a good place to get it, I saw a really pretty picture once while looking for tattoo ideas online. I would also like to dedicate them each to a person who has been important to me so far in my life. If you think butterflies aren’t the best choice please do speak up.. and also.. are there any ways you can almost, test how much you would like the idea, to kinda try out the tattoo before you get it?
I am aware of the amount of pain, I understand that getting a tattoo in a particulary “boney” area is much more painful that somewhere where there is more skin.

I will probably be able to get my mom’s permission because she’s really cool but I don’t know if the tattoo place will let me because I’m 14. I don’t want to hear any childish rants about how much tattoos suck or how I’m too young; I’m asking if I CAN get a tattoo not if I SHOULD.

Jon T asked:


I just got a new tattoo, and I read alot of articles about tattoo aftercare, there is no definite procedure.
I recently bought Skin Repair by rosken, and it contains alcohol and fragrance. I heard you cant put it on a new tattoo.
Why?
