We were the first to introduce a structured course in tattooing and piercing, providing an alternative to the traditional, lengthy apprenticeships. Our training programs are acknowledged by various European countries, and we’ve welcomed students from regions including Latvia, Spain, Barcelona, Lithuania, and beyond. These students have successfully established their own businesses in their home countries after completing our courses.
