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.
I'm missing a question somewhere. If you are asking if the the ink around the word 'with' can be removed, the answer is no. If the rest of the tattoo is fine, but the 'with' looks thicker than the rest, then your tattoo artist "blew" the word 'with', meaning they went too deep into your skin and the ink spread. There's nothing you can do about blown lines in a tattoo, sorry.
Black ink that heals dark green is cheap ink. Good quality black ink stays black.
Shouldn't be an issue at all. Many times a background is added behind an existing tattoo.
The finest a line can be is a single needle. But, lines that fine don't generally hold up over time.

It all depends on the tattoo and the proficiency of the artist. I've seen artists knock out entire sleeves in one day.
Honestly, I don't recommend getting a tattoo when you are 14. Not only is your body still dramatically changing, which could result in an awkward tattoo when you are older, but your body is still growing, so what would be a forearm tattoo now won't be centered on your forearm once you stop growing. Plus, you have no idea what you want to do as a career when you are older, and a forearm tattoo could hinder you from pursuing certain career fields. PLUS, your taste as a 14 year old will be drastically different than when you are an adult, and I can almost 99% guarantee you will regret whatever tattoo you got at 14. Please don't get tattooed for at least another 4 years. Wait until you are older. You will thank me later.
The ink may not be done settling in your skin. During the healing process, especially if the area slightly scabs, the colors will go from vibrant to muddy brown and back to vibrant once the final healing stages are done. If you still aren't happy with the colors once it's completely healed, head back to your tattoo artist and have them put the golds and browns in.
