What is an apprenticeship program?
An apprenticeship program lasts either two years or 2,400 hours, whichever comes first. The program ensures that an apprentice has mastered the techniques necessary to practice in a safe and health-conscious manner. There is a list of techniques (outlined in the Tattoo Apprentice Task Sheet and Piercing Apprentice Task Sheet) that an apprentice must master prior to qualifying for a professional license. The Cambridge Public Health Department requires an apprentice to work a set number of hours on certain tasks and complete a set number of procedures before he or she can qualify for professional licensure. See Regulation of Body Art, Section 6.4.
