Sorry to hear its difficult. and... its difficult. Best thing to do now might be to keep your head down, draw, work and stay out of everyone's way. If they'll let you... watch them tattoo, be a fly on the wall. It'll be difficult to shut down and withdraw while you're still there, but don't ask questions for a month and see what happens. If they start giving you information, great, if not, then have a talk with your mentor. If your mentor still won't talk to you... you may need to look elsewhere for guidance.
If you, the apprentice, are making seasoned tattoo artists "look bad" you have to ask yourself what their/your roles in the shop are... Better yet, have a talk with your mentor after you've decompressed, set the emotion aside, and studied the situation as if it were a poker game. Cold and calculating. It often takes time to suss out a situation. It certainly requires a calm certainty. Wait a week before you act on the discussion with your mentor. Good Luck!
