    Cheers for the notification. It says to send a CV, what justice would that do to us with averge Joe job history?? I thought they'ed just want to see a portfolio of some of your drawings and interview you??

    Probably the usual: that you actually have work experience, that you can stick with a job for a decent amount of time, what you have experience in and what levels of education you have. I'd say that including a portofolio / proof that you can draw is probably an advantage.

    Hmm. I wonder what level of skill you have to have as an artist to be a tattooist, surely the hardest part would be doing the tattoo as opposed to drawing it?

    You'd have to be a very talented artist, as you have to be able to draw the images perfectly on paper, doing them on someone's skin is a skill that has to be learned after the talent has been proven to be enough on paper.

    ha that reminds me of conversations my mother said she always used to get into after I left for college.. "Where's your daughter now?" "UCD." "Oh Cork, lovely. And what's she studying?" "Arts." "Oh she was always good at drawing.."

    That's just being pedantic, it was quite obvious that he meant an Art degree.

    theres no "uni" in ireland with an art degree. hows THAT for being pedantic? thats why it made me wonder, it was the combo of the two mistakes that made me wonder what he meant.

    Davey what she was nit-picking at, was that an "Arts" degree is something that's used to refer to a jumbled degree where people do a variety of different subjects.

    i really wasnt nit picking i honestly thought he meant on arts degree in a uni as opposed to an art degree in a college. a uni in ireland is different to a college. something about being a national uni ect, all i know was it was beaten into me by a careers service person that theres a difference.

    and they're all academic subjects (ie. essays, presentations, lectures, sit down exams)unlike art.

    yeah but not to the same degree.
    yeah i had my knickers in a twist too when my guidence one in school told me to do somethin 'academic' first before going to art college. i thought that was meant to be an insult towards art but thats what a teacher i had one summer in ncad said too. its much more practical in art courses and isnt really 'academic' by definition apparently. its not the same thing exactly doesnt mean its of less value its just not quite as academic.
