Bone to pick with "tattooist"?

Ok. What is the deal with you guys? Someone comes on here to ask for help with their machines, needles or whatever and people just rag on them. What the hell? Help these people out! I understand the whole sterilization issue but when I worked in a shop and was taught the proper technique's, I wasn't doing anything different before when I was doing it out of my house. It's just common sense. I tattooed out of my house for years before getting an apprenticeship which was ridiculously hard to obtain in the first place. Every tattoo shop owner thinks they are guarding some secret or something sacred. I would rather give as much information to those people needing it than tell them to get an apprenticeship. An apprenticeship is not that easy to get. I agree with trying as hard as you can to get one but what are you supposed to do in the meantime? Not tattoo? If that was the case I wouldn't of have tattooed for years. It can be done at home folks. It's not really that big of a deal. I'm sure that every tattoo artist has screwed up on people in the beginning because of LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Well, the shops are not going to give them that knowledge easily or quickly so help them out as much as you can because they need it. Seriously.
