Need tips about becoming a tattoo artist.

I'm a 15 years old, I got my first tattoo 1 week ago and it is fantastic. I have always loved art and would like to learn more and educate myself as a tattoo artist. Next year I start high school and then I try to get into the Design and Crafts, but I have very poor grades.

So would be nice if someone told me a little about how it is to work as a tattoo artist, and give me some tips where I should start and what i should learn. I don't know so much but i'am working on my drawing now.

Work on your drawing -
go to college. Art school / Graphic design.
Get a job at a graphic design / airbrush / anything art place...
work on your art..
Tattooing is a medium not an art.
If you are not a good artist - you will not become a good tattoo artist. Just another tracing old school hack who is too afraid to share secrets out of fear that the next young kid will steal your business!

Best of luck - hang in there...
Also - dont get any tattoos that can't be covered until you are about 30 yrs old...
you are young - and it might not work out the way you hope!

Also - dont quit your day job when you do start tattooing - until you have a bucket list of clients.
