The problem
You need practice clients, and they have no way to find you.
Every apprentice needs skin to work on, and there are people who would happily be tattooed by one for the price. The two groups almost never meet, because there is nowhere to look.
So you post to an account with forty followers and hope. Meanwhile the studios that might take you on have no idea you exist either.
See the plansHow it works
Three steps, and the first one is free.
Show us what you have
Practice pieces, flash, drawings. Whatever you have got, even if it is early.
We build your profile
Your work, the styles you are learning, who you train under, and whether you are taking clients.
People can find you
Clients looking for apprentice rates, and studios looking for someone to take on.
What you get
Proof of the work, from day one.
A real portfolio page
A proper address you can put on a CV or send to a studio, instead of a camera roll.
Marked clearly as an apprentice
No pretending. The people who contact you know exactly what they are booking.
A record of your progress
Dated work from your first year onward, so you can show how far you have come.
It grows up with you
When you qualify it becomes an artist profile at the same address, with the history intact.

Questions apprentices ask
Questions.
01 Do I need to be in a studio to sign up?
No. If you are learning under someone you can name them, and if you are teaching yourself you can say that instead. Both are honest and both get a profile.
02 Will anyone actually book an apprentice?
Some people specifically want to. Apprentice rates are a fraction of a qualified artist and plenty of clients are happy with that trade for simpler work. Your profile says plainly that you are an apprentice, so nobody arrives with the wrong expectation.
03 What happens when I qualify?
Your profile becomes an artist profile at the same web address. Your work, your dates and anything Google has learned about the page all carry over.
04 Is my work still mine?
Yes. Your photos and your name belong to you, always. If you cancel, you take them with you.
