Words of Wisdom from Joe Ferzola: If someone is thinking about learning to tattoo, study up on it before you start. Practice drawing tattoos not drawings!!! Understand what a tattoo is made up of. And have some balls and tattoo yourself first.
If someone is looking to get a tattoo, shop around, look at as many portflios as you can - go online, find a style that you are interested in and talk to your artist, be specific in what it is that you want and have them draw a sketch for you. That usally requires a down payment - but that shit is going on your body for the rest of your life so....smarten up!
