Jaycee’s Answer

Here are you starting points :)

Learn How to Draw.
Get an Art Education*
Establish Basic Design Skills and Knowledge (computer design!)
Build a Portfolio of Your Art
Work with an Established Tattoo Artist (Apprentice)
Complete an Apprenticeship and Learn the Trade.
Obtain Additional Pre-License Certification and Training
Get Licensed.

*Formal education is optional for aspiring tattoo artists. However, you may need to take art classes and complete an apprenticeship to gain experience, fine-tune your skills and get licensed. Tattooing may be a form of body art, but it also requires training in health and safety practices.
