tbh for both electrician and tattoo I m a noob. I only enjoy getting inkd but I know nothing about it.
theres definitely alot of pros and cons to both fields.
what do you guys think?

Coming from someone who just got into an apprenticeship, you really have to take drawing seriously. I drew everyday for a full year at 8 hours a day some days even more, and i don't believe i'm anywhere close to being acceptable as an artist
the key to any successful tattoo artist, is having the ability to put ideas onto paper and practice.
jeff gogue is a prime example.
