About Tattoo Academy
Why I Teach Tattooing
For me, tattooing is about more than just ink on skin. It's about stories, memories, and a bit of magic that stays forever. I started this academy because I want to share not just the skills, but the heart and responsibility behind every tattoo.
What You’ll Learn
- Basics first: I’m strict about hygiene and safety. You’ll get hands-on with sterilization, cross-contamination, and all the stuff that keeps clients safe.
- Tools: I’ll show you how to set up, use, and maintain different tattoo machines. No shortcuts here.
- Client connect: You’ll learn how to really listen, understand what someone wants, and turn their ideas into a design that means something.
Styles & Techniques
- We go deep into realism tattoo classes (color and black & grey), fine-line, micro-realism, tribal, Japanese, geometric, and more.
- If you want to learn cover-up tattoo techniques or how to modify old tattoos, I’ll guide you through the tough bits too.
How We Roll
- You’ll learn from me, Sam, and my crew - Bhavin, Rohan, and others. We’re not textbook teachers, we’re working artists.
- The studio in Malad is your playground. It’s pro, but also chill - khushi ka mahol (happy vibes) so you can actually enjoy learning.
If you’ve got seekhne ka jazba (the drive to learn) and respect for the art, you’ll fit right in.
