Even if you decide to go to one of those “Tattoo Schools” you see advertised everywhere these days, you should still complete an apprenticeship. Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo covers all the basic things that will prepare you for an apprenticeship. Everything is covered; from the sanitation side of the house to the machine building and tuning. This is an entry level book and designed for the total tattoo beginner. This does not mean that someone who has been tattooing for some time will not benefit from this guide as well though.

Basic Fundaments has an added perk that the other books that are available don’t seem to offer, TMTT! That’s right Teach Me To Tattoo (TMTT) is an online learning support community. You have access here to the FREE forum. Even if you don’t purchase the book you will get access to the forum for free! You can ask questions, critique other apprentice’s work – and much more.

If you do purchase the book you will gain access to the Teach Me To Tattoo –
Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo Support Portal.
The portal is an advanced search engine and database that catalogs a lot of the topics in the book, and allows you to ask specific questions about individual sections of the book. You can see responses from other apprentices who own the book as well. The portal is expanding rapidly and more topics are added daily.
Once you purchase the book Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo you will have access to the Portal as long as it is in existence! This means Videos, Forums, Tutorials, Color Photo Tutorials, PodCasts, and direct access to the author and other professional tattoo artists who write reviews on TattooRadar.com - So, you can see it is much much more than just a tattoo training manual, or apprentice guide!
