NO EXPERIENCE
SCRATCHER
Basically from the word scratcher, you understand that he or she will only scratch your skin and the end result will be a disaster. Scratchers are people who are following the trend of being a tattooist, for money for fame for so many other reasons. Buying a tattoo machine is not hard, if you search online there are tons of machines starting to sell at 20$, imagine! We are now in 2016, if you really want to be inked by a great artist he or she must have at least 10 years experience, because the world of tattooing has changed over the years AND ONLY artists who were the witnesses to the tattoo world evolvement really understand how everything functions. They know what is good and what bad, what to do and what not to do, the strongest factor in the world of tattooing is experience and the amount of continuity in the consisntancy of performance. Dont get inked by sratchers.
OH and usually they are heavily inked on the arms and you can notice that the ink they have is a mess. It is thier optical illusion to decieve you to it as they are sending a visual message that they have been there before, definitely for the wrong reasons.
JUST STARTED
APPRENTICE
The decent way to start being a tattoo artist, is to approach a professional studio or artist and ask for help. They will put the skills you have on the table and show you the right way of how to become a tattoo artist. An apprentice in a tattoo shop will give you a tattoo that will look like the picture you want but not perfected, some tattoo shops let you start with the apprentice and then the professional finishes the job to make sure you get what you wanted.

LESS THAN TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE
NORMAL
Artists who can pass the apprenticeship in a tattoo shop for at least 2 years can get to perform on the normal level. This doesnt mean that master artists cant give that level as, the experienced artist can do the tattoo but not spend too much time to perfect it, in all cases the normal level will look like the picture you wanted to have originally.
MORE THAN 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE
PROFESSIONAL
Artists who had long and great experience with skin for more than 10 years, will make sure that they give a better quality tattoo that will last longer and stay in shape, where they take care of minor details and use more needles and kinds of ink to perfect the job, not forgetting that the cost of machines they use are higher also the needles they use are more expensive (the cost of 3 professional needles = 50 normal needles), adding to all this, they spend more time where in every business in the world TIME = MONEY.
The end result will be perfect.
MORE THAN 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE
