melt Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I couldn't find any- I'd like to become a shop assistant at one of two shops I go to in NYC. Shop owners or those in the know: do you have any tips for me that could help in that pursuit? I do know that an ideal candidate does not want to become a tattooer (I don't.) Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands On Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 i'm not sure if these falls into the "Do Not" section of the LST Guidelines, https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/guidelines/ I'd say, if that shop posts an opening for a shop assistant... apply! it doesn't matter how much you wanna work at the shop if they don't need you. in the meantime, keep getting tattooed there! tatB and polliwog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colored Guy Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Long hours and low pay are the best to get you a job in any tattoo shop. Some shops don't use an assistant at all, just another expense that makes up the overhead every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
