Tattoo apprenticeships are a sharply debated topic. Unlike many other industries that use the apprenticeship method to train new workers, the tattoo world does not have a universally approved or recognized process for apprenticeships. Before Clay's entry into tattooing he was a welder and worked in a union shop that had a standardized structured apprenticeship procedure. In the trade apprentice Clay did, all parties knew their role and what their expectations were. Although Jack did complete a formal structured apprenticeship from a competent instructor, this has historically not been the case for tattooing. This void in the industry seems to have allowed an entire new business of tattoo schools to grow unopposed as well as enabled unqualified people to take on the role of tattoo instructor. Jack and Clay explore the issues surrounding todays apprenticeship method (or lack thereof) in tattooing today.
