The Full Story
About
Dermoda was born from a love of the industry and a passion for sharing it. I’ve spent years building my career as a tattooist and piercer, and along the way I’ve discovered how much I enjoy teaching and helping others grow. What started as a personal journey soon became a bigger vision – to create a training academy that gives beginners the kind of clear, supportive start I wish I had at the beginning.
“Hi, I’m Leila – founder of Dermoda.
I’ve been in the tattoo and piercing industry for years, and what I love most (besides the art itself!) is helping people feel confident and capable.
When I first started out, I remember wishing for clear, supportive training that really prepared me for working with real clients. That’s exactly what I’ve created with Dermoda – a place where you’ll learn safely, gain hands-on experience, and leave ready to take on the world.
If you’re passionate, determined, and ready to learn, you’ll fit right in here. I can’t wait to welcome you into the Dermoda family.”

Mission
I know how intimidating it can feel to step into this world. That’s why I’ve designed Dermoda to be welcoming, down-to-earth, and focused on real skills that will serve you from day one. My teaching is hands-on, practical, and rooted in experience – no fluff, just the knowledge and confidence you need to start your career safely and professionally.


Vision
Dermoda isn’t just about courses – it’s about building people up, and proving that anyone with passion, dedication, and the right guidance can turn this into a career they love.
