Ive been coming to terms with the fact that I am trans and I want to transition but I fear that I will be ostracized by my coworkers. I'm not in a very progressive industry (forklift operator). I'd like to obtain a job as a tattoo artist but idek where to start. I'm a regular artist but I've never done any tattoo work. Made plenty of designs for tattoos but not anything directly on the skin.

I almost went the tattoo route when I was younger. I got a lot of information just by going into tattoo shops with my sketchbook and asking if anyone was looking for apprentices.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to try that out. I've been needing to give my portfolio an update for a while now.
