Looking for a tattoo apprenticeship

Hello, I'm looking for someone to teach me the ropes of the fine art of tattooing. I'm a illustrator/ designer from Hollywood who loves rock n' roll, art and photography. I live in Hollywood and would love to work close to home but I will drive a bit for the opportunity. I have some of my work posted on myspace. http://www.myspace.com/melishqueen

um.. I doesn't really work like that- did you read any of the "before you post read this"stuff? Hit the pavement- Im sure LA has more than its share of ink shops- just remain positive and don't give up if you really want it-
