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.
Completely up to you.
Darkers skin doesn't show colors the way light skin does. Greens, blues and reds are about the only colors that really show up in dark skin, and even then the colors aren't as vibrant as with lighter skin pigments. The choice is ultimately up to you, but darker skin tones show black tattoos and black and grey tattoos better than color tattoos, generally speaking.
I'd take the tattoo to a tattoo artist and have them draw their own original version based on what you saw on pinterest.
You are more than welcome to send me a picture to everchangingmoon81@gmail.com and I can take a look.

I don't think it's advisable to tattoo over any skin abnormalities- liver spots, scratches, bruises, even moles.
I like outlineless artsy tattooes. I do a lot of flowers, birds, soft things. Many of my tattooes come out looking like a painting, and I love that. I know artists who like neo-traditional, traditional, Japanese, biomechanical- just about anything, except tribal. I haven't found one single artist that actually likes doing tribal.
About as long as it takes for the tattoo artist to ink it. White tattoos are a fad, and once the redness from the skin goes away from the tattooing process, you'll immediately find that you wasted your money on a white tattoo. Tattoos on the inside of the finger, on average, last 6 months to a year. When you combine a white tattoo on the inside of a finger, you are basically handing a tattoo artist money to cause you pain for no reason whatsoever.
