How long does school take for tattoo and piercing artist?
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?

Find an apprenticeship with a well established tattoo parlor. Draw anytime you're free and you can also practice tattooing on packaged meat like chicken.
