Completely subjective question. It all depends on your natural talent and the amount of time you have to offer to learn. In most instances, an apprentice serves at least a year under a tattoo artist before they are told that they are ready and can start to really become a "tattoo artist".

∙ 12y agoThere are very few "schools" that offer tattooing as a course. It is for this reason that almost all tattoo artists are either self taught or more commonly, have served an apprenticeship under a tattoo artist and learned that way. Most apprenticeships take about a year of learning, reading, practicing, and perfecting all aspects of tattooing, tattoo application, and history before you are ready to be an artist yourself. Lesser shops will churn out apprentices in a few months, but the quality of these shops and the work that they and their "artists" do speaks for itself.

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...
