How realistic is it get a job as a tattoo artist. I have bigger aspirations that will eventually come to with time, but I think if I could get some job that could make some kind of money , it could be nice.

I guess what I really mean is, do tattoo artists make a decent living ?a Google search said 32,000 a year is an average, but I'm not sure the reality of that .

Ignoring the art skills required (which is my own cross to bear), could I get it after high school?
