Throughout our courses, the pupil will receive handouts on tattooing, the industry and all knowledge about the apparatus required. During the course, students will be taught legislation/ regulations of professional tattooing.

Moreover, students will also be taught how to dismantle and reassemble tattoo machines so receive a deeper understanding of how they use and learn various parts of the machine.
