In most places, none, though some require licensing. There is a danger from careless use of needles, and some places regulate this. Most people learn the trade from watching others, reading, internet, or whatever.
These specifics are determined by your geographic location. In Virginia you must complete either a 750 hour tattoo school or a 1500 hour apprenticeship. Then you must be tested. You must additionally be certified in CPR, First Aid and Blood Borne Pathogens.
You don't need a college degree to be a tattoo artist. You don't even necessarily need a high school diploma, as it really has nothing to do with your artistic talent nor your ability to learn to tattoo…unless you have a crippling learning disability.
Having extensive knowledge of art, color theory, painting, etc., certainly will take you further than someone who really has to learn ALL of this in the duration of their apprenticeship, so it would be in your best interest to enroll in some art programs to get a better handle on the medium in which you want to enter. But if you know nothing of art, then I would have to ask why you would want to become a tattoo artist to begin with.
The education of a tattoo artist is usually determined by the department of professional occupational regulation. In Virginia you must take CPR, first aid, & bloodeborne pathogens along with either a 750 hour tattoo school course or a 1500 hour apprenticeship such as those offered by www.tattoo-training.net to apply to take the board's tattoo artist exam.
It all depends on how many people you have working in your shop.
Yes, starting in July, 2010 Tattoo Parlors and Permanent Make-up salons will need to take a HIV/Bloodborne Pathogen Training.
NO. However, let's get this straight. There is no Canadian licensing body that licenses the tattoo artist or certifies him/her to be able to tattoo. There is a school in Toronto, but it is not accredited to my knowledge. The tattoo artists' SHOP must be licensed. This process involves having Health Canada inspect the tattoo shop at least once a year to ensure that they are following Canada guidelines in health and safety (ensuring that the environment is clean, equipment is properly stored, used and sterilized where appropriate; ensure that the proper disinfectants are being used etc... People are quickly mixing up "licensed studio" with a "tattoo license or certification" which are two completely different things. Your shop has to be licensed, but the artist does not.
You need to rephrase the question and sate where the tattoo is.

Yes you would need tattoo artist professional liability.
Yes, in Illinois, tattoo artists are required to be licensed by the Department of Public Health. This involves completing a specific training program, passing an exam, and meeting other requirements such as obtaining liability insurance.
No! Absolutely not. One of my teachers got his education from AIE training in the military. He went in to be a cook, and got a basic training.
