FAQs

Do I need to know how to draw?

We find that because our students have been writing since kindergarten, most people have no issues learning how to tattoo, and the speed at which they master the craft depends on how much they practice and execute what they’ve learned during class. The people who do the best in class typically have a desire to be there, and are moderately creative. 

Will I really know how to tattoo after two days? 

We find the average person is fairly skilled within 6 to 12 months of completing our course, easily able to generate around 10 K per month. 

Where will I work?

Most salons have no problem renting to you for one or two days a week, and it is fairly easy to get a commission place at most and beauty locations following class. Both of our owners hire once a quarter typically as well, and offer rental and commission positions. 

Where should I stay?

We recommend staying in an air bnb in the 85018 area, if your model times are on Monday, schedule your flight for four hours after your start time to be safe. 

Licensing

My recommendation is to reach out to the health department in your county, explain to them that you’re going to be starting tattooing and ask them what they need from you in order to get started!

State to state the licensing for tattooing is different. In Arizona there are no regulations but of course we want you to be sanitary and safe so we will teach you the proper protocols. If you were to work in a different state you would have to check on the regulations there.

Insurance 

During class we will give you our best recommendation for insurance which is Biberk.com. My recommendation is to give them a call and explain to them your business and they will advise you which level of coverage you need.
