there’s not much difference though i would imagine the cost of notepads and pencils dont cost 7k and you dont have to buy a big flashy machine not to mention the fact that you wont need one for a while anyway while you hone your drawing skills so you have more opportunity to spread the cost so you would probably save more money this way. so yes if you look at it in that sense it will cost you money either way but you dont always have to pay someone to teach you 🙂
If an artist has to sacrifice their own chair, because they’re a single artist shop or pay for their seat….then time is money… all of us, I’m sure, have the heart to donate 5 or 6 hours. But to create someone who is as good at our own jobs as we are, if we are the SOLE business owner…time is money, and I don’t know any tattoo artists who are world class and in the business of charity…if you know some, tell them to contact me ASAP!
And by the way, real estate matters…if we’re talking 7K in USD in the northeast of the U.S. ,over more than one year of an apprenticeship where my property taxes for owning 1/5 of an acre well exceed 10K(USD)/year is the artist wrong to ask for a little something for their time?
