We run our courses with a maximum of four participants. We believe this is the ideal number to ensure we can give each of you our full attention and keep an eye on everyone whilst you're working. We want you to feel at home, to get to know one another during the course, and to feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Throughout the course, we have prepared a few mini-tests for you to practise what you have learnt. This will allow you to revise the material regularly in the period leading up to your main tattooing exam.

We take hygiene very seriously, including the preparation of the work area, client hygiene and the tattoo artist's hygiene. We teach hygiene in accordance with healthcare standards, so there is no risk of you putting yourself or a client at risk. Some people may take a lax approach to hygiene, but you won't find that here.

We always plan attendance in consultation with all participants. We try to be as accommodating as possible, and it is possible to attend the course at weekends. We adhere to the minimum attendance requirement (240 hours) for admission to the exam. If necessary, we will arrange make-up lessons.

We understand that the total amount may be difficult for some people to pay in one go, but we are happy to split the payment into 2–3 instalments.

As the 'First Aid' module forms part of the curriculum, our trainers have completed a first aid course run by the Red Cross. We really want to know what we're teaching.

We know that these days it's tough to start out as a tattoo artist and immediately have to pay high studio rents. We're happy to offer short-term arrangements in the form of occasional guest spots until you've built up your client base and found a suitable permanent studio. Long-term collaboration may be possible, depending on the studio's current capacity.

We have a longtime partnership with a trusted tattoo supplies shop – Euro Tattoo Supply – where we have specially prepared discount codes for your purchases.
