Student Outcome 

BEGINNER COURSE

 

The class spans two months, with in-person lectures held every Tuesday at 12 PM. Each session is followed by a week of homework to be practiced either at home or in the studio. The course aims to cover all the fundamental tattooing skills within this two-month period. Practical sessions on real skin will commence in the second month.

 

We provide students with clear and constructive guidance to ensure they understand the processes, the reasoning behind specific tattooing techniques, and most critically, how to practice correctly to refine their skills continuously until mastery is achieved. Fundamental skills, including lining, shading, and coloring, are meticulously deconstructed into manageable segments.

 

Mornings are dedicated to theoretical instruction and demonstrations of proper practice methods. In the afternoons, our instructors supervises the students' practice sessions, offering personalized feedback to help them develop correct muscle memory and effective habits.
