SUMMARY: This sponsored story by edaa Community College features tattoo artistry as a popular, socially accepted form of self-expression. It introduces Angela, an artist who knew she wanted to create and found her calling as a tattoo artist. Starting as a receptionist, she learned from various shops and now owns her studio, “Mama Tried,” in Tupelo. As tattoos have become mainstream, being naturally good at drawing isn’t enough to excel in tattooing; it requires practice, training, and apprenticeships. With about 9 months of mentorship, one can get licensed, gaining approval from the health department. Angela finds the tattoo artistry profession lucrative and immensely rewarding.
