Two paths.
One good one decision.

Choose a tattoo or piercing. You will receive advice from the first research, through choosing training, to developing your own skills.

First, choose a direction

What do you want to learn?

We do not mix advice from two different professions. Each path leads from knowledge to the appropriate course.

Author and scope

We assign each topic to the appropriate field and instructor.

The current piercing section is based on the materials of Maria - a practicing piercer and instructor. We will publish tattoo guides after assigning authors and substantive verification. The content is not a substitute for medical consultation or checking current legal requirements.

Track 02 · Tattoo

Tips for future tattoo artists

We are building this section as a separate decision-making process: whether this profession is for you, how to choose a field, what a good course requires and how to develop your portfolio after the training.
