My name is Zezi. I’m a tattoo artist and shop owner in Ballard. I’m looking for two apprentices in the art department.
I had my art master’s degree from Pratt Institute. I was an art teacher in NYC public school for six years before I became a tattoo artist. When I was in art college and graduate school, I remembered the dilemma of pursuing my passion in art and getting my bills paid. I hope to help art school students when I can. The apprenticeship may lead to a full-time tattoo artist position with a stable and desirable salary.
