The Right Way to Learn

​

Our motto, “The Right Way to Learn”, isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s the core of our philosophy. We understand that tattooing is a craft that requires time, dedication, and attention to detail. Our 3-month course goes far beyond surface-level techniques; it immerses you in every aspect of the tattooing process, from artistry and design to safety and sterilisation, ensuring you’re fully prepared to begin your career as a professional tattoo artist.

​

What Makes Us Different

​

While other schools may rush you through a condensed course, we take a slower, more thoughtful approach. Here's what makes Tattoo College London stand out:

• In-Depth Curriculum: Over the course of 3 months, our students explore the full range of skills needed to become a well-rounded tattoo artist. This includes not only practical tattoo techniques, but also essential knowledge in areas like human anatomy, colour theory, equipment maintenance, art fundamentals, and client interaction.

• Hands-On Experience: Our program emphasises hands-on learning in real-world settings. You won’t just practice on synthetic skin or paper—you’ll have opportunities to work with live models and actual clients under the close supervision of experienced tattoo artists. This provides invaluable, real-world experience that short-term courses simply can’t match.

• Expert Instructors: Our team consists of highly skilled, industry-renowned tattoo artists who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and skills. Each instructor brings years of professional experience and unique artistic perspectives, allowing you to learn from the very best in the industry.

• Comprehensive Learning Modules: While many schools skim over important foundational skills, we cover every aspect in detail, including:

  • Art & Design: Mastering drawing techniques, understanding tattoo styles (traditional, realism, new school, etc.), and creating custom designs.

  • Tattooing Techniques: Properly handling equipment, tattooing techniques, shading, line work, and colour application.

  • Health & Safety: Sterilisation practices, cross-contamination prevention, understanding bloodborne pathogens, and legal responsibilities.

  • Professionalism & Client Relations: How to engage with clients, build a portfolio, and navigate the business side of tattooing.

• Structured Learning with Flexibility: Our program is carefully structured to gradually build your skills week-by-week, with plenty of flexibility for one-on-one mentorship and personalised feedback. This ensures you progress at your own pace while still benefiting from a clear learning path.

• Small Class Sizes: We believe in providing individualised attention. Our small class sizes ensure that each student gets the guidance and feedback they need to thrive.

A Career, Not Just a Course

​

At Tattoo College London, we don’t just teach you how to tattoo—we teach you how to build a career. Our goal is to prepare you not just for your first tattoo, but for a long-lasting and successful career in the industry. Our students graduate with the skills, confidence, and industry knowledge to start tattooing professionally or pursue apprenticeships with established artists and studios.

Our alumni have gone on to work in renowned tattoo studios across London and around the world, making their mark on the tattoo community and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.

​

Why 3 Months?

​

Many aspiring tattoo artists feel pressured by quick-fix courses that promise rapid results in a fraction of the time. But tattooing is an art form that demands patience, discipline, and a deep understanding of both the craft and the client. With our 3-month program, you will have the time to master each stage of the tattoo process—from initial sketch to final ink. We don’t just teach you to tattoo; we teach you to think like a tattoo artist, so you can continue growing and evolving throughout your career.
