Tattoo apprenticeships in Thessaloniki?

Γεια σας! 🤙 I am working on my art portfolio as I slowly prepare to move to Thessaloniki next year in hopes to seek out a tattoo apprenticeship when I arrive, so I was hoping there may be some artists or friends of artists here who could chime in with some wisdom.

Is a full time apprenticeship the gold standard for tattoo artists here the same way it is in my home country? If not, what is the most common path to a successful career here? I see lots of ads for tattoo training seminars when I try to do any research, and while these kinds of schools Γειare looked down on where I'm from, I'm open minded if the attitude is different here! I'm commited to doing this the right way, whatever that may look like.
