So you want to be a professional Tattoo Artist? Information Night

🎨 THINKING ABOUT A CAREER IN TATTOOING?
Every year we meet talented young artists who love drawing, love tattoos, and have absolutely no idea where to start.
The reality is that becoming a professional tattoo artist involves far more than artistic ability. Apprenticeships, portfolios, licensing, infection control, client communication, business skills and professional expectations all play a role.
Join us for a free community information evening designed for:
🖤 Year 11 & 12 students
🖤 Parents & guardians
🖤 Careers advisers and pathway teachers
🖤 Job network providers and employment consultants
🖤 Emerging creatives
This event has been specifically designed to provide accurate, current information about the tattoo industry. We hope it will help students, careers advisers and employment providers better understand the pathways into professional tattooing, allowing them to confidently guide young people and job seekers who are considering a career in the industry.
We'll discuss:
✨ Apprenticeships and how they work
✨ What studios actually look for in applicants
✨ Portfolio expectations
✨ Industry licensing and requirements
✨ The realities of working as a professional tattoo artist
✨ Common myths and misconceptions about the industry
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions directly to professional tattoo artists and studio owners.
📅 Wednesday 12th August
🕕 6:00pm – 7:30pm
📍 Ritual Adornment Rutherford
Shop 3, 15 North Mall
Whether you're a student exploring future career options, a parent wanting more information, or a professional supporting young people into employment, we'd love to see you there.
