Beginning Tattoo Artist Resources

Aspiring professionals, apprentices, amateur artists--we all started somewhere. This section has the resources you need to make sure you are ready to move up the ranks safely and artistically. This website should not be considered a substitute for an apprenticeship. Instead, think of this area as a an introduction to the material you'll cover during an apprenticeship and the safety standards you need to know before you set foot in a shop.

ROOKIES: Is there an article you want to see? Something you'd rather see a video of? Shoot us an e-mail at cs@SpohnGlobal.com and we'll make it happen.
