Artist Seeking Apprenticeship...

I'm a 31 year old artist looking for work in the tattoo industry within the Indianapolis area. I'm hoping to find an apprenticeship lasting about six months which will pay about $200 per week. I understand that most apprenticeships last at least a year or more, and that many shops require payment for an apprenticeship. I also realize that it's nearly unheard of for a shop to pay someone who wants to learn to tattoo. I'm not posting this in an attempt to piss off 99.9% of you, I am simply a responsible person with bills and child support to pay. I'm not out to become some superstar of the industry, but I'm definately not lazy and without ambition. My work can be seen at www.Hudginsart.com. Thanks.
