My Son wanted to become a tattooist so we took him to Bryan, Texas and signed him up in Mike Burfords/Notorious Ed's Tattoo Apprintice program.
Notorious Ed & Mike Burford routinely charge unsuspecting, aspiring tattoo artists $10,000 for their "Two Year" apprintice program. We signed a contract with them whereby we agreed to pay $1000 per month for 10 months. This was a HUGE mistake.
Things went fairly well for the 1st year despite a couple of bumps in the road. Then out of the blue & without warning our Son was locked out of the studio and told to leave town. Mike & Ed illegally took all of our Son's tattoo equipment and our Son's tattooing portfolio, without which it's impossible for our Son to get another tattooing job.
The Apprinitceship Program offered by Notorious Ed & Mike Burford is a ripoff. I personally am aware of numerous aspiring tattooist that Mike took money from and consequently threw out of his program.
I caution anyone contemplating taking a tattoo apprinticeship from Ol Poop & Rudy's, Notorious Ed/Mike Burford in Bryan, Texas or anywhere else these two crooks show up, not to do so or at a minimum to hire an attorney before signing any papers with these two ripoff atrists.
Be advised that this is the way these two guys make their living. Whenever they need cash, one apprintice is thrown out of the program to make room for a new one, but only until they need cash again!
Not only does it give the city of Bryan a bad name, it gives the state of Texas and the entire tattooing sector in general a black eye also.
