The academic week consists of drawing up designs which will be suitable for a tattoo, colouring techniques, difference in needles and what they are used for. Throughout our tattoo courses, the pupil will receive handouts on tattooing, the industry and all knowledge about the apparatus required. Moreover, students will also be taught legislation/regulations of professional tattooing.

Students will also be shown how to dismantle and reassemble tattoo machines so that they get a deeper understanding of how they run and learn various parts of the machine. This will help the pupil in the future if they need to change coils, springs, armature bars, etc. All tattooing on a human skin will be carried out in one of our licensed tattoo studios.
