Answer
personally i love wrists tattoo's. i think they are so cute and if i ever got one i would get a word or quote tattooed on my wrist. another place i like tattoos is the waist. i think those two places are cute places for tattoos.

Is "tattoo concept artist" a real job?

Rebecca Lo

Okay, so I read a lot of fanfiction (don't judge too harshly, I read a lot of books too) and I was reading one where a man offered a girl a job as a tattoo designer. She drew out different designs and then he would do the actual tattooing. That got me wondering if that was something that could be pursued as an actual career (I mean how cool would it be to have someone love something you designed so much that they get it permanetly copied onto their skin?). Also, if it is something that could be pursued as a career, is there any extra information you can give me (like tips, links, helpful college courses, or anything smilar)?

Answer
Well, currently, I'm a tattoo designer. People contact me, I draw up a design and then they pay me for it. The difference is that I work for myself, not a tattoo artist. Eventually I plan to be a tattoo artist, but it's all baby steps.
The job your referring to does exist, in fact my last tattooist did commissions for an older tattoo artist when he was younger (before his apprenticeship).
Have you thought about becoming an actual tattoo artist? Your profits will be a lot better than just a tattoo designer. End of the day, most tattoo artists can draw themselves (ones that can't shouldn't be in the industry) and are unlikely to pay a middle-man to do the design when they can do it themselves.
The career you're thinking of would be difficult to find, and would take a hell of a lot of luck.
My advice for you is start charging for tattoo commissions now, for your self rather than for a tattooist. Then see where it takes you. If you want to do this you'll have to work hard to get yourself noticed in an already highly-saturated industry. You'll have to sell yourself. Use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and Deviantart to get your work noticed. Try and get featured on tattoo blogs and websites, and make sure all internet traffic goes back to you. It's hard. You'll have to shift through all the crappy designs to get that occasional amazing client who asks you to do something you actually enjoy. But it's the right way to go about it. When you've built up a portfolio take it around tattoo studios (or email them) and see if they're up for taking on a tattoo designer. Or at least try and sell them some flash. Ask them some advice on what direction you should head. You might even end up grabbing your self an apprenticeship, if that's what you decide you want to do.
In regards to college courses, the tattoo industry is a beaut, because it doesn't rely too much on qualifications. Essentially the only things you need are skill, patience and a hard working ethic. Obviously, if you can study art, this will help vastly. But a degree is not necessary.
There are also websites that pay you for collections of flash, which are downloadable for users.
