Common Questions
No, this is a specialized course designed for artists who already have fundamental tattooing experience. It focuses on elevating existing skills to a professional, advanced level.
We encourage students to bring their own equipment so we can assist with machine tuning, but all necessary advanced equipment, needles, and supplies will be provided for use during the course sessions.
A strong grasp of basic lining, shading, and hygiene is necessary. We highly recommend completing the 'Complete Tattoo Course' or submitting a portfolio for review before enrolling.
