still looking for a dedicated individual

I'm sure he's busy cleaning out his inbox :)

Where are you located?

What shop do you work out of?

How many years have you been tattooing?

Can we see your portfolio?

How much does it pay? Do you offer health/dental etc?

Pay? you must be kidding it would pay a wealth of knowledge and a chance at arguably one of the best jobs on earth

Love
Erik

Does it come with a company car?

do we really need more of us out there? just hire a shop helper.

When do you want me to start?

Hello, my name is Isaac James, an 18 year old visual designs/fine art major at in Indiana. I have been taking interest in the art of tattooing for the last two years of my life and am seeking an apprenticeship to start after this fall college semester. I know I'm young and am excited about learning, as I am always open minded. I'm pretty much an art/comic book/horror flick nerd and get a lot of my influences from there.I find it sad that anyone expect anything more than to learn such a magnificent art form while undergoing an apprenticeship. I expect long hours, hard work with little/no pay, and all of my effort to earn my way into a seat in a respectable shop. I have ink done myself from the last few years done and have many influences throughout the tattoo community. I currently live in South Bend, IN. and am willing to make the move closer to the shop location.
thanks for taking your time out to read this as i appreciate any sort of consideration to start my career. If any info is needed, contact me at

Hi my name is Jena Adams but friends call me Mysterioz. I've been wanting to be a tattoo artist seance I don't even know lol. and I've been trying to get an apprentice ship for I don't know how long. it just don't seem like no one wants to train anybody. and I seem to be at a stand still in my search, but I'm not giving up at all I I'm so dedicated and willing to fight to get a chance to do this! its my dream and I want to tattoo artist more thin all of united states people want to hit the lotto, lol not kidding I cant tell you enough how much I want this.

Checked out the O.P.'s portfolio on myspace and gotta say good luck to whomever apprentices for Lord Mortis hahaha. Im always trying to give good advice for people looking to get in to the tattoo industry and if your truly wanting to learn dont settle for just anybody with a machine. Make sure there someone who you really want to learn from with great skill and can actually show you a thing or two. It takes alot of time and dedication and the best advice is draw, draw, draw. Your portfolio is what will make getting an apprenticeship easy or hard. Good luck to everyone.

Hi, my name is Gregg Kanefsky and I have been trying to learn tattooing on my own. I already have all the necessary tools and am just looking for the right teacher. I am very dedicated to the subject of tattoos and basically love every aspect of the industy. I've been searching far and wide and would love to become your apprentice so I can learn from an experienced tattoo artist and gain as much knowledge about the industry as possible. I have already preformed a few tattoos on my own, but with your help I hope to become an amazing tattoo artist. So if your willing to give me a shot I know will not let you down, I will pay attention to everything you say and everything you teach. I will help around the shop and just learn more about the industry that i love and hope to be in, in the future and honestly just to gain the knowledge i wouldn't even ask for pay; the knowledge is my payment.

Hi my names Gregg Kanefsky. I have been mezmorized by tattoos since i was a little kid. I used to go watch my dad get all of his, and started sketching and drawing since I was like 6. I am extremely interested in the whole process of tattooing as well as the history and tradition behind it. It has been a life long dream of mine to be apprenticed and learn from soem of the best. I am now 21 and have many years to grow, learn and sharpen my skills and not only would I be fully dedicated but would go as far as being a shop bitch. All I've done is hung out in shops watching artists and getting work done on myself and always will have the drive and dedication to becoming a tattoo artist. My portfolio is still in the process of being completed...I'm picky with the work I would want to submit however if at all possible I would love to apprentice for you and would be happy to show you some of my work. Thanks for your time and if by any chance you want to contact me my number is 609 273 2716. Good luck with the search.
Sincerely,
Gregg Kanefsky
