Among the hours info, the contract will show how much the apprenticeship will cost, what your responsibilities are at the shop, what skill and how you’ll learn them, etc. Some tattoo shops require their apprentice to work at their studio after the mentorship is done. That should also be stated in the contract for future reference.
