This brings us to a sum between approx. 600,- and 900,- Euro. Only for the acceptable basic equipment of a tattoo artist. Keep in mind that you have to rebuy new consumables regularly. That sounds like a lot of money, no doubt. But of course you will earn money with it. 900,- Euro you can, with regular work and growing potential, get back in two or three days. See chapter “Talent helps - but it's not everything!” Don't overestimate yourself and your prices just because you can now ink small names and tribals. If that's all you want to do, it's your decision. But with time this gets boring.

Conclusion

Let an independent person, preferably a professional, judge your work. Friends and family members usually do not remain objective if they themselves have no idea or comparisons. Don't be angry if an expert thinks your work is bad at first, but wants to give you good advice. Listen to the expert. After all, he has been doing this for years or even decades. Or do you listen to what an untrained doctor's assistant tells you when you need to have your car repaired?
