    Would anybody know the best way to start Tattooing ?

    Is there courses that can be taken ?

    Or can you learn yourself

    Cheers

    Technically you can learn yourself - buy a tattoo machine and practice on yourself, or, pig heads/skin, as its the closest to human flesh you can get. But unless you're extremely naturally talented, you need to watch other tattooists and the techniques they use. The best way to do that is just ask. As for courses, don't know about abroad, but not in Ireland.

    Work on drawing on paper and building your art skills and then try transfer your skills to a tattoo gun.

    If it's an apprenticeship you're after I've heard some tattoo artists say that a college course/degree in something art-related (say fine art and graphic design) and by association, a very good portfolio will give you a huge head-start.
