You should get an apprenticeship. Phone up some tattoo shops in your area and see if any one is looking for an apprentice. If they are then get a portfolio of your work together when you go to your interview / appointment. You may want to apprentice under some one who isn't family so they won't go to easy on you. Your mentor should be teaching you about which kits are the best and how to tattoo properly. If they aren't doing that then you may want to find another mentor.
