Tatted Mom
Tucson, AZ
Female, 32
I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.
In theory, yes. Without seeing the tattoo, I can't give definites. Tattoos can be touched up and refreshed years after they are done, though.

The inside of the forearm is a tender area, yes. Pain is completely subjective, though. For me, the ribs is the most painful area to be tattooed, but I've had clients fall asleep during rib tattoos before because the pain didn't affect them at all. So, what hurts for one person won't hurt for another.
Any part of the body that doensn't get normal exposure to outside elements or wear-and-tear will be more tender.

I've never heard of Tattoo Vanish, so I looked it up. It looks sketchy to me; most of the photos look photoshopped, sorry to say. It could work, but it's been my experience with clients who have used topical ointments for tattoo removal, that they just don't work. I've never used one, though, so I can't fully say one way or another.
If the ink that the skin color is going over is darker than skin color, then no, it's not possible. I get asked that a lot, though.

Some do, some don't. Most tattoo artists make you put down a deposit in order to draw your tattoo, and that deposit goes toward the cost of your tattoo. It isn't likely to find a tattoo artist that will draw a tattoo for you with no guarantee that they'll be the one doing the tattoo.

How many years of work experience do you REALLY need before applying?
To be completely honest, I don't know the answer to this question. If you aren't using the image for capital gain, I don't think it's a problem, but I honestly have no idea. People are always getting Dali's art as tattoos, but just because everyone does it doesn't make it right. If the artist is still alive, maybe shoot him or her an email, just to cover yourself? Sorry I couldn't help wiht this one more.

Without seeing tattoos, it's hard for me to judge what would and wouldn't look right.

No, it's not normal, and it occurred because you bought a machine online and tattooed yourself without having gone through an actual apprenticeship or knowing what you are doing.
