5 Day Tattoo Mentorship

This 5 day tattoo mentorship is designed for artists who have complete the foundation course and are ready to bridge the gap between learning and real world tattooing.

Delivered in a small group studio setting - this mentorship focuses on learning new skills, refining technique and improving confidence. This is something that cannot be achieved through short courses alone.

Throughout this week you will receive hands on guidance, supported practice and personalised feedback tailored to your strengths and development.

Emphasis is placed on skin reading, needle choice, machine control, line work, shading, workflow and professional studio standards.

This mentorship is ideal for beginner artists who want reassurance, structure and expert guidance before moving on independently.

By the end of the week, students will leave with clear progression, increased confidence and a stronger understanding of how to tattoo safely, consistently and professionally.
