Is tattooing a good career?

Hey guys!

I'm just wondering like, cause I have wanted to become a tattooist for ages now. I am always drawing and creating a portfolio. I'm only 17 therefore I cannot get or do any tattoos till I'm 18. But the thing is do people trust young tattooists? If you've ever tattooed is it hard? Cause you see really nice colourful tattoos with detail it just looks so hard to shade and that! Tough call I really want to pursue with my dream but it seems so hard! Thanks x

    Do you really have to be a good artist? I've known one of the most well respected tattoo artists in my city [3 million people] and he couldn't draw to save his life.

    You have to be good at art (obviously) and it would be a hard job because if you mess up a tattoo you could ruin one part of a person's body, good luck, I hope you become a tattoo artist. :)
