No Problem. You don’t need any background. I start with a Beginner tattoo artist course that’s got everything covered - from holding a machine for the first time right up to confidently working on clients. We keep the vibe chill and supportive. Mistakes are part of learning. ### What You’ll Learn - Drawing basics: lines, shading, sketching, all the stuff you need to start - Needle theory: choosing and handling needles, working with skin - 2D and 3D designs - yes, you’ll get to practice these! - Temporary tattoo training, tattoo removal basics too - Tattoo studio marketing tips: how to get noticed on Insta and build your own crowd ### Certification & Real-World Skills When you’re done, you get a government-recognized certificate in Certified tattoo techniques.
