About Tattoo Artist Training
Why I Teach Tattoo Art
For me, tattooing is not just putting ink on skin - it's sharing stories, capturing emotions. If you’re someone who gets excited seeing a fresh tattoo and thinks, "Naanu idanna madbahudu" (I could make this), you’re in the right place.
What You’ll Learn Here
This is a hands-on, no-nonsense training. You’ll get:
- Complete tattoo design basics - lining, shading, and finding your own style.
- Tattoo hygiene training with all safety protocols, because client safety is non-negotiable.
- Tattoo machine basics - understanding your tools, getting comfortable with needles, inks, and setups.
- Loads of studio tattoo practice in our live Bangalore studios (Jayanagar, Hanumanth Nagar, Banashankari).
Real Studio, Real Mentors
You won’t be stuck in some boring classroom. Every session happens in my real studio, learning from actual artists. We don’t hide mistakes - you’ll see the good and the tough parts, and learn by doing.
Your First Step
After the training, you’ll earn your tattoo artist certification course completion. It's proof you’ve got the skills and guts to start out as a professional.

My Story
Hi, nanna hesaru Srinivas. I run Xtreme Tattoos in Bangalore. For me, tattooing is all about people and their stories. One day, a client wanted a flute with 'Amma' and 'Akka' on his chest – we hand-drew it, not from Google. Another time, a singer asked for 'Raaga' in Kannada with family initials. Sometimes, people come to us to remove tattoos, to start fresh. We do that too. And yeah, RCB fans, 'Ee Sala Ink Namde!' We love being part of your memories, happy or sad.
My Work
All Tattoo & Piercing Services - We do permanent tattoos, custom temporary tattoos, laser tattoo removal, ear/nose/belly/eyebrow piercings, tattoo training, and hydra facials.
Personalized Tattoo Design - Got a feeling or an idea? We’ll draw it just for you, even if it’s not on Google. Custom Kannada tattoos are our thing.
Temporary Tattoos for Events - Want to try before going permanent? Our temporary party tattoos look real, safe for kids and adults, bulk orders welcome.
Laser Tattoo Removal - Regret a tattoo? We offer safe laser tattoo removal in Bangalore. Takes a few sessions, honest about pain and results.
Safe Body Piercing - Nose, navel, eyebrow – all done safely and hygienically at our Jayanagar, Hanumanth Nagar, or Banashankari studios.
