Some consider it a skilled trade or a vocation while others consider it fine artisty and still others think of it a service profession or retail profession. It's part salesmanship, part psychology and part art. Your mileage may vary.

The trade of tattooing is an art form that is passed on through an apprenticeship. This means that in order to become a tattoo artist one must find a current tattoo artist who is willing to take them on as an apprentice and who will teach them the craft.

When you were tattooing you accidentally pricked your finger through your glove now have a dot on your finger what will happen?

You'll have a dot on you the rest of your life unless you have it removed by laser surgery. If you were tattooing another individual, you may want to ask that person if they have any disease you may have possibly contracted. To be completely thorough, you should get tested. #1 rule in tattooing is ALWAYS be 110% aware of where your needle point is.


Why is tattooing out of the home illegal in Indiana?

Tattooing out of the home is illegal mainly because of sanitation risks. If someone is just tattooing out of their home, there's no real way to make sure that they're taking proper health precautions. Tattoo artists in shops are generally required to wear gloves, face masks in some places, sterilize their equipment, dispose of used needles in special bio-hazard containers, sterilize any and all work surfaces after every customer, etc. Someone tattooing out of their home probably isn't going to do all of the things I listed above.
