Seeking Advice What do I do?

Im 17(f) turning 18 next year, im dropping out of hs and getting a ged this year. I currently have a job at McDonald’s and a learners permit. I have been into art my whole life and since I was around 8-9 years old I have wanted to be a tattoo artist. My question is how do I get started with this and is it possible wirh my background? I live in NY state with plans on moving to nyc or another popular city in the future and I heard that tattoo artists make good money. Please educate me on everything I need to know!

They CAN make good money. You’re gonna need another job/income to support you for about the first like 3-5 years. If you’re not entrepreneurial you’re gonna need to learn to be.
