Core skills covered during tattoo training

Learning to tattoo requires an understanding of both technique and the working principles behind it. During the course, students are introduced to different tattooing approaches, hygiene requirements, workspace organisation, equipment, needles and pigments, as well as the basic principles of preparing a design for the skin.

Training also covers stencil transfer, linework, shading, filling and working with colour. Students learn how these techniques are used in different types of tattoo projects and how an existing tattoo may be approached when correction or further development is required.

Practical exercises begin on synthetic tattoo skin, allowing students to work on control and consistency before progressing further. Depending on the selected programme, later stages may also include supervised practice with a model under the guidance of an instructor.
