About Tattoo & Piercing Training
Why I Teach Tattoo & Piercing
I've seen too many shortcuts in this field. That's not how I work. Safety is non-negotiable, and clean technique matters. So, when folks ask about piercing guns, I just say, "Bedave beda." They're risky, and I’ll show you safer ways. If you want to actually be ‘studio ready’ and not just wing it, this is the place.
What You’ll Learn
- All about hygiene protocols for piercers
- How to handle needles and tools with confidence
- Hands-on tattoo training with loads of practice
- Safe body piercing methods, not gimmicks
- Real talk about what works and what doesn’t
You can start as a total beginner or come in with some experience. We have quick basic classes for newbies, advanced piercing techniques for artists, and full courses if you want the whole journey.
How Classes Happen
I keep the groups small because everyone learns better with personal attention. First, we hit the whiteboard for theory, then it’s all about hands-on practice—synthetic models first, then the real deal when you’re ready.
Where You Can Find Me
Mostly in Bangalore, but I also travel to Chennai and Madurai for short workshops. End of the course, you’ll get a certificate, but more important is walking out ready to work.
I won’t sugarcoat things. You’ll know what it takes.
