should i quit my $22/hr job to unpaid tattoo apprentice for a year straight
so quick context i wrench part time at a shop making decent money, 22 an hour plus tips from customers, been there 3 years. theres a tattoo artist named Dre at the meets who does insane custom pieces and he offered me an apprentice spot under him. thing is its unpaid for the first year, i'd have to pick up floor sweeping and answering phones just to be around the machines, and i'd need to drop down to like 15 hours a week at the shop to make it work which barely covers rent with my two roommates. i've been drawing since high school and always said i'd do this someday but someday usually means never bro. Dre's not gonna hold the spot, he already told me straight up if i say no he's taking the next guy who asked. my savings would cover maybe 8 months if i'm tight with money, no more car parts no more takeout, roommates already clown me for even considering it since one of them says tattoo apprentices basically starve. but if i don't do it i think i'll be that guy at 40 still talking about how i almost did it. not 100% sure this is smart or just me being impulsive after a slow night at the meet lol
