How Your Art Education Can Lead to a Successful Tattoo Career Change

Despite the starving artist stereotype, you received your art education from a 4-year college or university. By earning your degree, you've definitely developed the skills you need to be successful in the field, but have you made the connections? There are many traditional professions that you can apply for with a degree in the arts; for example, an illustrator, art teacher, restorer, set designer, art director, fashion designer, or graphic designer. These careers aren't the easiest to get in the door if you don't have "connection" and since they all mean you could get fired at any time, there's still a ton of risk involved.

Have you ever thought about a career as a professional tattoo artist? 

Maybe yes? The first thing you need to know is that everyone's tattoo path is different and that's what makes it yours. You already have an advantage over many people because you have an artistic background.

Whether you are an artist, graphic designer or sculptor; you have an artistic eye. You don't need to know how to draw everything perfectly, but an artistic eye is sure to come in handy as a tattoo artist and we bet you have the steady hands that are essential for your career as a tattoo artist.

A strong portfolio is key to showcase your art with a professional portfolio. This shows that you are a serious artist. And, most likely, you already have one of your school or even your passionate projects and part-time jobs.

It's time to find tattoo training. 

Were you discouraged by the rumors about what "traditional tattoo training" is like? More than likely. Instead of learning how to make tattoos, students have been known to do menial jobs such as sweeping floors, cleaning toilets, and washing windows. Sounds terrible, doesn't it? We couldn't help but agree!

At Body Art & Soul Tattoos, we take a very different approach to teaching the skills needed to become a successful professional tattoo artist. Now you can raise an eyebrow asking yourself, “Will this tattoo school approach really work?”

Answer: "Yes, if you are selected to participate in the program."

Over the past decade, we have trained hundreds of very successful people, from apprentice to artist. Ready to blow your mind? We even offer guaranteed employment and invite you to get a tattoo in our studios once you have completed your tattoo training.

At Body Art & Soul Tattoos, your hopes, your dreams, and your career will change if you enter the program and stick with it.
