Local Dipstikk to become Tattoo designer- more at 11.

So I was at the mall last Saturday, and a guy walks up to me and sees me drawing. Well, he compliments me, gives me his card, and offers me a chance to make money drawing up designs for tattoos.

That's right, I'm going to get a job as a Tattoo designer. All I have to do is come up with a few samples, go through the copywrite shit, and I'm in. Then I only have to design more, and I can make ph@t l3wt without even leaving home.

Now, by "ph@t l3wt," I'm talking tens of thousands of dollars a month. I'll be able to pay my way through college!

Best thing that's ever happened to me.

Tens of thousands a month? Damn! Congratulations!

Hmm, hey buddy, I think that sounds like enough to pay for TWO college educations...

I really hope the little vibey things you just got are wrong and it's not a scam. Just make sure to do all that copyright stuffs yourself, so the guy doesn't steal your art and run off to make the moneys for himself.

Sounds like you have some way to go before you're hired, and particularly on a regular basis with a constant pay, but congratulations. I'd love a chance like that, if I could draw.

I'm actually not sure about the exact amount, but I know he did mention something about money, and that being in the thousands.

Nice Dip! Always a good thing to get a step closer to your dream . Tho I wouldn't count on ten-thousands of dollars a month. Then you would make more money a year then an average CEO of a big company :P.

Yeah we spoke about this over AIM, well done man.

I was thinking of going down this avenue once, I may well have another stab at it, cause some of my designs were fairly good. Just need to go speak to a few tattoo studios, ask them whether they'd be interested in a few designs.

Wow Dippy that's so fantastic. ^_^ Although wouldn't it be weird seeing someone with one of your designs on their back? I can just imagine you chasing someone randomly trying to sign their tatoo.

But yeah, like Xiou said, don't let this opportunity get away. Just do everything by the book and you'll be loaded.

Guess who just made $25.00 for his first 'Tat design?

I get $50.00 total, but I get the other half when they apply it to the guy's arm and he pays for it.
