learn to be a tattoo artist

I worked in two different tattoo shops for a total of 3.5 years. Ever since I set foot in a shop, I have loved everything about the tattooing industry and would love to make a living doing something that I am so passionate about.

i really wanna learn how to do tattoos ,im fallin in love with art

i have the drawing down whenit comes to the art part of tattooing. i actually draw tattoos for many people i know and many of them would want me to do the actually tattoo since i am the creator of the drawing . i would loive to do this but i dont believe i have the guts to do any ink slinging on a person know if i mess up it permanent… any advice on how to get over this?? cause i really want to its just that one thing stopping me…
