I thought about tattooing as a profession for probably three years before I actually went around looking for an apprenticeship. I had a large portfolio of work with me and that helped me land one within two weeks of shopping around to see what was available in my area - I actually had a choice of shops, so that was very cool. It's expensive, so I went with the smaller shop that was willing to let me pay as I went rather than the cost up front. I was there three nights and one day a week for a few months before I was able to use a machine, and I actually went very fast. I learned on my boss, which showed a huge amount of faith in me on his part, and after three months of practicing on friends of the shop I was able to start working on others on a limited basis. A few months later and I was in full swing, but assisting that was the fact that I quit my day job one month into the practice phase to start tattooing full-time. It's the hours that you are there working that really accellerate the learning curve.
