I need our advice, I'm a shitty artist, trying to copy off of others and going through loomis and drawabox. I'm at the point where I want to draw daily and make money off of that, that's the one thing I enjoy. So I thought getting into tattooing would do the trick, as a lot of tattoo artists aren't real artist. No offence but it seems like you just copy and trace. that's not exactly what i want but it would be a start.

I'm interested in getting a apprenticeship, give me your advice here, what would you as a tattooer like to see? what should i put in my portfolio? how should i present my self?

What should i bring? my sketchbook? Or just finished works? should i be pretentious and act like i only come up with photorealism or oldschool?

All of the tattoo artists I've know are egomaniac borderline-junkies. Compliment them, demonstrate that you're competent at producing "tattoo style" work (ie, oldschool sailor jerry crap like your pic related), appear to conform to the copy-trace norm, while perhaps displaying a bit of creativity (but not too much because it would probably turn them off)

Once you're in you can drop the act and start building client relationships, and taking creative liberties with people that trust you etc. Just remember that you'll have to churn out a lot of cherry blossoms and anchors either way. Don't be resentful of this thinking it gets in the way of your "real art". It's for $$.
