  1. I spent two years apprenticing in different shops, i ended up shop hopping and apprenticed under five different shops over that time, and I still get incredible support and teachings from local tattooists and old timers, its ended up being pleasant experience now, but after having to leave the first shop i was at after a year, it got so much harder. I ended up apprenticing under who was my boyfriends at the time's mentor. And since the relationship had already started to go sour, it ended up being a very, very unpleasant experience. He was jealous, and controlling, and constantly complaining that I was tattooing but he wasn't yet (he was only two months deep) And when I broke up with him, it ended up being harassment. He would do everything from turn off the speaker system if my music was on, to deciding to drop my paperwork from a tattoo i was doing at that moment into the shredder. At one point, after a month, I did move on and had a fresh relationship, and he was not happy. The next day after the fresh relationship, I did friday the 13th apprentice tattoos, I had 30 slots to do 30 tattoos from 10 am to 10 pm. i hand stenciled sheets ready for the day, and an hour into the day I'm looking for my stencils and drawing copies and he looks right at me and says "they're in the trash, I'm going to make sure your life is a living hell" it got annoying. I wouldn't be able to find my toolbox or machines cause he would hide them away from where they were supposed to be, he would constantly try to dump my sketchbooks and tracing paper in the trash, and my mentor would sit back and watch, and even with my complaints wouldn't do anything. I went on for another month before leaving and getting an offer for another shop. To this day, he has the nerve to ask me for a job in a shop me and my original mentor are running. Hes working in a mall shop, constantly posting about his $20 daily 'tattoo specials', and it leaves me with this huge feeling of spite still in my stomach.
