The regulations for tattoo school length vary by location. In Virginia, according to www.tattoo-training.net, school takes 750 hours. This leads to professional licensure.
As a professional tattoo artist I can tell you that there is no such thing as a mandatory tattoo school. Some states require that the artist have been through an apprenticeship for a certain amount of time, but there is no requirement to go to "tattoo school." As a matter of fact, most reputable tattoo artists laugh at the notion of a tattoo school. These schools promise to teach you to be a tattoo artist in 2 weeks... The typical apprenticeship lasts for at least 1-2 years. Having said that, how do you expect a classroom full of students to learn in 2 weeks what a single student takes years to learn in a hands-on environment?

How long and how much would this tattoo be?
You will have to ask your tattoo artist.
How long does it take to get a 12 inch tattoo done?
It depends on the artist, detail and amount of colors. The 5'' wide by 9'' tall full color tattoo on my forearm took 2 sittings at 4 hours each.
How long after getting a tattoo should you keep it covered?
Every tattoo artist tells you something different... but I kept it wrapped for the first 5 hours.... let it air out.... then for the next 5 nights... wrap it in plastic wrap & ointment... make sure your new tattoo doesnt dry out.
Is there a time limit you can have in one tattoo sitting?
Yes. This time limit is how long you can sit still enough for the artist to work on you. Obviously, two hours or more sitting still for the artist or the client would start causing fatigue and irritability.
How much does flame tattoos cost?
It depends on the size of the tattoo, the detail of the tattoo, how long it takes, the place you go, etc
