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?

Well for a piercing you want to avoid the ocean for at least a week (seven days) then be sure to wash the piercing once you are done to avoid infections. Best bet is to say out all together and wait till the piercing is at least a month or more old. As for the tattoo you would be wise to avoid soaking any tattoo for at least 4 weeks, my counterparts in the tattoo section would give you more detailed information on aftercare for your tattoo.
