Become an artist

Start your career in one of the most rewarding trades there is. With us you learn to tattoo from the ground up — in a working studio, guided by people who do it for a living.

You tattoo real skin

No distance course, no script to read through. You work with the machine from day one — first on practice skin, then on a model, always with personal coaching right beside you.

What you leave with is not just a certificate but a portfolio you can apply with.

What you learn with us

  1. 01

    Hygiene

    Medically reviewed standards – the basis without which nothing happens in a studio.

  2. 02

    Technique

    Machines and needles: which configuration leads to which result.

  3. 03

    Design

    From the first pencil stroke to the finished stencil in Procreate.

  4. 04

    Craft

    Lines, shading and colour – practised on synthetic skin and later on a model.

  5. 05

    Consulting

    Talking to customers, finding motifs, pricing, and how a studio day runs.

  6. 06

    Career

    How to make a name for yourself: portfolio, social media, your own chair.

Your success is the point

We train people because we want good artists in the studio — not because we have course places to fill. The groups are small accordingly.

  • Certificate

    On successful completion – your proof for studios and customers.

  • Flexible start dates

    We work around you, not around a semester plan.

  • Payment in instalments

    On request, in instalments or via Klarna.

  • No prior knowledge

    You need to bring nothing but motivation. We teach you the rest.
