We cover everything from the basics of tattooing to advanced techniques and styles, including traditional, realism, and everything in between. Students will have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, and they'll gain hands-on experience under the guidance of industry experts.

GUEST: The opportunities are endless! Students can go on to work in a tattoo studio, become a freelance artist, or even start their own business. The course also covers business skills, such as marketing and client management, which are essential for success in the industry. We've had students go on to work with some of the top tattoo artists in the world, and we've even had some start their own successful studios.
HOST: That's incredible. What about the community aspect of the course? I've heard that's a big part of the experience.
GUEST: Yes, it definitely is. We foster a supportive and collaborative environment where students can connect with like-minded artists and learn from each other's experiences. We also have a strong alumni network that provides ongoing support and opportunities for continued learning and growth.

They'll also learn about the business side of things, including how to price their work, how to market themselves, and how to manage client relationships.
HOST: It sounds like the course really prepares students for a successful career in tattoo artistry. What advice would you give to someone who's just starting out in the industry?
GUEST: I would say to always keep learning, to stay humble, and to never be afraid to take risks and try new things. The tattoo industry is constantly evolving, and it's up to us as artists to stay ahead of the curve. I would also say to find a good mentor, someone who can guide you and provide support as you navigate the industry.
