Do Apprentices for Tattoo Artists get paid in Tennessee?

Yes, and dont do it if the artist doesnt want to pay you, or if they say that you have to pay them. The idea behind an apprenticeship is in hopes of you benefitting the industry or the particular shop. Typically will start out doing grunt work, but if the artist is legitimate, he will teach you and thus reward you for your work with pay. It probably wont be much... minimum wage or a little more. But again, your human. Dont accept anything less than to be respected as one
