HOW TO BE A APPRENTICE FOR TAT. ARTIST

I AM REALLY INTERESTED IN BEING A FEMALE TATTOO ARTIST, BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO, DO I GO TO SCHOOL FOR IT~ IF I DO DO I NEED THE GRADES TO DO SO, DO I GO AND TALK TO A LOCAL TATTOO ARTIST ABOUT GOING UNDER HIM AND BECOMING HIS APPRENTICE, IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION FOR ME PLEASE TELL ME. I WOULD ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU ARE A OLDER TATTOO ARTIST BECAUSE I AM 17 AND I KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN, I AM ALREADY GREAT IN ART JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET STARTED. ~*~Dani
