Being a Tattoo Artist in our Society
31.01.2010
Hey everybody,
in this article I want to give you an impression about how a tattooer is being accepted in our society.
I was recently asking a friend of mine who is a tattoo artist how his life has changed since he is in the business.
The typical tattoo artist, as we think, is heavy tattooed and and pierced. This causes of course the a lot of attention of people that are being disgusted by their appearance. But honestly who would you like to be your tattooer, somebody that is not tattooed and who does not represent the lifestyle or somebody who looks like he belongs to the scene and knows what he does because he is heavily tattooed?
Coming back to my buddy, he told me that his life did not really change. The only things that are new are the people he gets to know and that he can do day by day what he likes most, tattoing. Because he just started, the money he makes is not enough to live a comfortable life. But as more people he gets to tattoo as more tattoo fans are getting interested in his style.
The life of as an tattoo artist is not much different from the life of a baker or salesman. I mean he also provides a service to customers and charges them for it.
