How much money can I make as a Tattoo Artist?
Many people are drawn to becoming a tattoo artist as they love art, they love to be
creative, they don't fancy sitting in an office cubicle or working construction every day.
These days a Tattoo Artist is an acceptable career choice in many places and can be available way to make money and have a satisfying career.
We all know though many young people these days are drawn to becoming a Tattoo artist after growing up on a diet of reality shows such as Miami Ink and La Ink and are seduced into the idea of hob nobbing with the rich and famous and only working on rock stars and movie stars .
For every Tattoo artist like this there are millions of hard working talented people just getting by. I really don't think you should approach a career as a tattoo artist purely on how much
money there is to be made, but on the idea how how much amazing artwork can you create.
Your aim as an up and coming tattoo artist should be to be the best artist that you can,
your work is a walking billboard advertising your skills. A satisfied customer will tell 10
people or more where he got his great art done and come back time and time again to get more work by you
Yes, there is a lot of money to be made if you are a successful artist and run a string of
shops but your primary focus should be to constantly improving your skills, pushing your
knowledge and your artistic boundaries. If you do this then indeed the money and success
