Except it's going to soon be my reality -- I'm partially living the bohemian lifestyle already.
The school for doing it is pretty cheap ($6175) and if I find a punk house up here (basically, cram as many people as you can into the house, rent out the closets, etc, making rent uber cheap) I should be able to have enough to pay for it as a I go.
Yup, entire schooling with books and fees. And it can range anywhere from 3 to 7 months depending on if you go full time or part time.
They train you on the theory as well as practical (you do something like fifty tattoos for free while training);some basic art things, sanitization, skin types/pigment/diseases, etc.
They also prep you for the state license exam, but I can't remember if you pay for that separately or not. I think separately.
Probably separately, but that is pretty awesome. From what I've heard, the licensing exam for that is mainly about blood borne pathogens, that sort of things. Shiz you'll get down easy, I'm sure.
Fifty tattoos is nice, too, to have done for a portfolio. Sounds like an awesome deal. I can't wait to hear your progress. :D
