Re: Tattoo apprenticeships as defined by the APT
In Oregon here, it is illegal to apprentice someone the correct, traditional way. You have to open a "school" and that costs so much that people usually take on about five to ten "students" at a time to keep up with the costs.
It's total bulls&!t, I hate it, been trying to figure out my loopholes since I got here (I've got a potential app waiting for the last year, she's very motivated and patient) but these guys can charge like 15 grand and teach them nearly nothing, then those kids can legally tattoo here....it bites my ass
