Hi All

Ive been searching for info on how to educate myself as a tatoo artist the last few days.
I have been drawing and painting all my life, so i think i have a pretty good starting point, im 32 years old now.
There are only a few schools around the world, as far as what i can find, but are they any good?
In specific im thinking about taking a 6 weeks course here:
http://www.tattooschoolthailand.com/

I dont expect to be fully educated or anywhere near, but im thinking that it could be a good way to start to learn the basics, and learn about hygine etc.
You also get the equiptment needed to start tatooing, and you get to keep it.
The thing is that from what ive found when searching, a start up kid with everything costs around $3.500 and the 6 weeks course costs $5.500 so it only 2k more for 6 weeks of training.
Im assuming that the equiptment is quality, but i havent gotten details about that yet.

Anyway, my main question is if anybody have attended a school/course and if its worth it.
