Piercing Apprenticeship ?

Ill be turning 19 this summer and I'm from a small city. The piercer that I wish to apprentice under lives in a big city two hours away from me, and I am willing to move. I have never pierced anybody before and I know that's a good thing, I have no drug or alcohol problems. I currently have CPR/First Aid training and I'm waiting to take a bloodbourne pathogens course and an infection control and bio medical handling course, I'm also gonna get a hepa B boost. I created a binder with information of jewlery types and styles, anatomy, terms, placement, infection etc etc etc! I got this information from books, videos, internet and my own common sense. I also have my certificate of first aid and will be putting my other ones in there. I know that piercing apprentiships are or can be a pain in the ***, I know that there are many many people with the same dream and that I'm just another. I am a naturally hard worker and dedicated and know how to commit. This is my ultimate dream and I know that this job isn't as glamorous as it seems but I love it, I've gotten my first piercing when I turned 13 (after a lot of begging to my parents) and loved them ever since. I try to go to the city as much as I can and whenever I do I go by his shop and get a piercing done by him, he has done 4 out of 6 piercings on me. I guess he couldn't exactly call me a regular. I unfortunatley don't have a reliable vehicle that could drive on the highway for two hours and it also can't make it over 80. I would do whatever it takes to make this dream happen. What I do want to know is how do I go about asking for one, what should I say and should I bring anything with me? Should I call him and tell him about my unfortuneate situation and we could communicate distantly? Or should I find a way to get there and ask in person? Should I take my binder there and let him keep it ? Should I write a bio about me so he could get a sense of what I'm about since I can't go there as much as I wish? Thanks guys!
