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.
You are more than welcome to send me a picture to everchangingmoon81@gmail.com and I can take a look.
Ask the person that I'm assuming you are apprenticing under, or other people in the shop where I'm assuming you are apprenticing. If you are trying to teach yourself, without a formal apprenticeship, then stop.
I don't think it's advisable to tattoo over any skin abnormalities- liver spots, scratches, bruises, even moles.
Completely up to you.

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.
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.
