If the studio can use another artist, and they like your stuff, and you have potential, they may agree to sign you on as an apprentice at no charge but you might have to contract to tattoo there a certain length of time after your apprenticeship is complete. Some do it for free labor around the studio but in my eye that seems to be dwindling. Many now charge for apprenticeships and those fees vary widely. 1. It shows a stronger committment - money talks 2. They have no room for you in the studio after you are trained. You could expect to pay $4-6K or so. I have not really heard of more. Stay away from week or two tattoo "schools" as a primary source of training. This is going to be very vague because it really all depends.
