What should I do to become a tattoo artist?
I am very keen on becoming a tattoo artist? What do I need to do for this? Does this require any kind of professional course? Please give me all the details.
— Kunjan
As there aren't schools offering a course in tattooing, most tattoo artists go through an apprenticeship under the instruction of a professional tattoo artist. Choose an apprenticeship that will teach you more than the technical way to give tattoos if you want to have a career. You have to learn how to use equipment, maintain cleanliness, sterilize equipment and deal with clients. Tattooing courses are available in abundance abroad but there is no recognized course in India yet.

I believe there is a lot of money in cosmetic surgery. Can you tell me more about this career? What and where do I need to study for the same? Which are the top institutes?

Cosmetic surgery is fast growing and is a very well paying industry for the qualified personnel. To become a cosmetic surgeon, you need to first complete an MBBS degree from a recognized medical college and then pursue a postgraduate degree in dermatology. You can then further specialize in cosmetology by doing short beauty courses.
