How much years of school to be a tattoo artist?

"You must go to art school for 10 years then go to Tattoo Artist school for 15. I suggest going to Yvette's School of Tattoo's. " And if this is the case, then there would be NO tattoo artists, or very few. Ever wonder how there are Tattoo Artists that are 20 years old? Doesn't make sense with the above statement. A tattoo artist goes through a formal apprenticeship, that can vary between 1-8 years depending on the shop and the area.

How long for schooling to be a tattoo artist?

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.

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?

How do you get tattoo license in the state of Maine?

You must apprentice under a Master artist before you can get a license, bottom line. I'm not sure what your experience is, but I recommend you go to a reputable shop and talk to an artist there about getting your apprenticeship started, if you are really serious about your tattoo career and want to work out of a shop, not out of your kitchen.
