Advancement Prospects
Tattoo artists advance be building their clientele (including repeat clients) and a reputation for creating unique, beautiful, funny, or otherwise memorable tattoos. Some tattoo artists become popular in pop culture (movies, social media, etc.) and build a fan-base that allows them to charge higher fees for their work. A talented tattoo artist with an entrepreneurial mindset can open his or her own shop. Some artists become instructors at tattoo schools. Others work as artists and teachers in other creative fields, such as painting, computer art, illustration, cartooning, or sculpture.
