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. ## Highlights Browse through Tattoos and Tales's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/tattoos-and-tales/tattoo-piercing-training/featured) - [Video: We always get asked about piercing guns. Our answer is simple: "Bedave beda" (Don't even think about it). This video shows why we only use sharp, sterile needles.
