  1. I don't know that there is a short answer to this. If there had to be, I would say there are too many tattooers. One problem is, that with the internet, equipment is easily attained by someone who is not trained and knowledgable enough to use it. Also, careers are given away to people. Apprenticeships are handed out without merit and are nothing more then a joke, in a lot of cases. Even worse, tattoo "schools" have sprung up teaching people to be a "professional" in 6 weeks. Just pay us $5,000 and we will give you a career in a month and a half. Worse yet, is that in these "schools" and joke apprenticeships, nobody teaches anyone respect for the history and traditions of the business. So, the business gets flooded with people who do not know their craft and have no respect for it. Without skill or respect, they rely on undercutting prices and shit-talking to fuel whatever business they can muster. So, you can see how there can be a problem with it.
