What will I learn?
You will learn how to set up a sterile workstation, select the right needles and machines, and mix custom grey washes for any tonal range. The course covers foundational line work, shading strokes, and deep black colour packing, then advances into photorealistic textures and portrait rendering. You will study design principles, stencil creation, and how to adapt artwork to body contours. Supervised live-skin sessions prepare you for real client work, including consultation, session management, and tattoo aftercare. You will also develop a professional tattoo portfolio and learn the business basics needed to launch your career.
