Offer Value
Offer value in exchange for mentorship. Assist with shop tasks or offer skills like graphic design or social media management. Show reliability and eagerness to learn.
Engage with Online Communities
Join online communities and use free resources to learn tattoo techniques and safety protocols. Budget for essential supplies. Consider crowdfunding or seeking community support for financial help.
Maximize Learning
