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.
Nope. Sometimes spellings can be fixed, and the 'u' could be turned into an 'a', but the 'a' can't be turned into a 'u'.
Okay. I'm missing a question with this one. I would definitely have your tattoo artist draw something up before tattooing you. That way you don't get flying genitals tattooed on you as a joke...
Probably not.
I think it's better to find or come up with an art piece that depicts what the saying in words says. But that's my opinion. Words can blur under the skin over the years, but larger pictures tend to hold more over years.

Small changes in size and weight generally won't affect a tattoo. But if you are going from being thin and kind of scrawny to a professional body builder size, the tattoo will stretch and look faded.
Ask away. Many artists will touch another artist's work, especially if the original artist is no longer available.
I'd say acrylics. They have about the right consistency as tattoo ink. Once tattoo ink goes into the skin, however, it coats more like a watercolor. Very tricky medium, tattoo ink and skin.
