Tatted Mom
Tucson, AZ
Female, 32
I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.
You are more than welcome to send me a picture to everchangingmoon81@gmail.com and I can take a look.

Tattoo "schools" are a joke, in my opinion. They may help you learn the fundamentals, which may make it easier to get an apprenticeship, but I wouldn't count on it. Then, you could have wasted all that money on the school for no reason.

Very nice idea.
I'm missing a question here...
Share Answer: 
About as long as it takes for the tattoo artist to ink it. White tattoos are a fad, and once the redness from the skin goes away from the tattooing process, you'll immediately find that you wasted your money on a white tattoo. Tattoos on the inside of the finger, on average, last 6 months to a year. When you combine a white tattoo on the inside of a finger, you are basically handing a tattoo artist money to cause you pain for no reason whatsoever.

Natalie, sweetheart, I answered your question above. Just scroll up. =)
If you are concerned with the pain of a tattoo, and many people are, then you have to ask yourself if you really want a tattoo. Tattoos are experiences from start to finish, not just a work of art on your body. I hate being tattooed, but I would never use a numbing cream because that takes away from the *experience* of being tattooed.
Share Answer: 
I'd take the tattoo to a tattoo artist and have them draw their own original version based on what you saw on pinterest.
Share Answer: 
That's from start to finish, including stenciling, actual tattooing time and clean up. Sounds like your tattoo artist just wants to make sure they don't have to rush before their next appointment.
