I've been into piercings for 12-15 years now ( Started stretching my lobes with misc. items at an early age, what can I say? LoL ) and have never thought of making it a career til recently. I always think way too inside the box and never look at what I enjoy as being a good starting ground for figuring out a path to take. DOH.

I am beginning to look around for apprenticeship programs, but really have no idea how to get into one as they are competitive or not being filled. Any advice on how to stand out against competition or make a good impression for such a position? Anyone in New England looking for an apprentice? I can sweep a mean broom and take out garbage like nobodies business!
