hey everyone, with the school year ending i wanted to repost this in this sub in case theres anyone struggling to get by. i wanna help out!

i wanted to share what i do for my second job because it has honestly been working really well with tattooing and i don't wanna gatekeep!! tryna help my fellow tatters who are financially struggling rn.

keep in mind i live in NYC so i'm not sure how other states manage their education systems, id suggest just looking on ur areas DOE website to see whats up

i got a job as a part-time school aid in a middle school. i go in from 10:30-2:30 mon-fri and when i get out i tattoo in my studio if i have appointments. this job also gives you paid breaks/summer break off. every single break ive had this year (mid winter, spring break) i travelled and guested at shops so it hasnt interfered with my traveling plans either. you also get health insurance/dental etc

my job just entails sitting at a desk at one of the bathrooms and having students sign in and out. i usually draw flash while doing this! so yeah i didn't wanna gatekeep this especially because (at least in nyc) most of the school aids are geriatric and would probably appreciate some young people working in the schools.

you also don’t need and certifications or a degree for this job either (at least in NYC)
