The hourly curriculum is determined by the location. In Virginia tattoo school is 750 hours long (http://www.tattoo-training.net). However tattoo apprenticeship is 1500 hours. These are the two accepted methods for obtaining professional licensure in this commonwealth.

There are some schools, but a lot of tattoo artists go through a formal apprenticeship. They can range anywhere from one to eight years, depending on the mentor or the area, and also depending on the hours of the shop.

For example, an artist can require minimum 40 hours a week for a year, which comes to over 2000 hours. Some shops may require more time, even exceeding 3500 hours per year.
