Tattoo Artist Apprenticeship – Blood Money Tattoo | QLD
Turn Your Passion for Art Into a Career
Blood Money Tattoo is looking for passionate, dedicated and creative individuals who are ready to take the first step towards becoming a qualified tattoo artist.
Our 9-month apprenticeship program is designed to give aspiring artists the foundations, studio experience and mentorship needed to develop their skills and build a long-term career in the tattoo industry.
With a strong focus on black & grey realism, you'll progressively develop your skills — from understanding the professional studio environment and working with clients, through to drawing, design and eventually the technical side of tattooing.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in people who:
- Have a genuine passion for tattooing and art
- Are hardworking, reliable and committed
- Are willing to learn from the ground up
- Take direction and feedback positively
- Have a strong desire to build a career as a tattoo artist
- Understand that becoming a great tattoo artist takes time, patience and dedication
About the Apprenticeship
- 9-month structured apprenticeship
- 3 days per week — Monday to Wednesday OR Thursday to Saturday
- Unpaid program — apprentices do not receive compensation during the program
- No joining fees or costs to participate
- Hands-on experience within a professional tattoo studio
- Mentorship and structured artistic development
- Strong focus on black & grey realism
- Opportunity to develop your skills, portfolio and online presence
- Potential pathway into one of our studios after successfully completing the program
We don't expect you to know everything when you start. What matters most is your attitude, commitment and willingness to learn.
The apprenticeship begins with a 2-week trial, giving you the opportunity to experience the studio environment and understand what the program involves, while allowing our team to see if you're the right fit.
If you're serious about becoming a tattoo artist and ready to put in the work, we'd love to hear from you.
