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.
Holes in your hand and in a lot of pain is not normal.
You don't need a college degree to be a tattoo artist.
You can put UV ink where ever, just keep in mind that UV ink only sticks around for maybe a year. And, if it's the colored UV ink, and not the clear, it will look strange on your skin when not under UV light, and can splotch out badly. UV ink is only FDA approved for tagging fish, not for human use.
A piercing is not permanent, but tattooing a fake mole on your face is. I'd think twice about the tattooing your face part, and get the piercing. It can be taken out later if you don't want it.

Why is an advanced degree required to dole out pills at a pharmacy?Depends on the state you are in, but even if the state tattoos minors, your parent or legal guardian will still have to be there with you and sign a consent form.
