No. The profession of tattoo artist is a liberal profession. You can start as a tattoo artist without a diploma or training. The only compulsory training is that of “Hygiene procedures for tattoos and piercings”, which can be obtained through Syntra.

If you get the chance to train with a good tattoo artist through an apprenticeship or internship, we strongly recommend it. In recent years, however, there has been a proliferation of new shops and artists, and you are not always sure of the quality of the training. Very high rates are often also charged for this. For this reason, more and more interested parties opt for training with us.

Let's face it: You can't expect to master everything after 3 days. There is a lot that goes into it. We therefore focus on the knowledge of hygiene, the materials and learning the tattoo technique. After 3 days you will know the basic techniques, and from then on it will be a lot of practice at home. We provide you with the right tools for this. In addition to the technique, tattooing is also sketching, being creative, having knowledge of styles, developing your own style, ... this is a lifelong process.

This depends on your bet. After the course, some are able to place good simple tattoos in black ink after a few months of intensive practice. In addition to the technique, tattooing is also sketching, being creative, having knowledge of styles, developing your own style, ... this is a lifelong process.

We focus on solid blackwork and basic shading.

No. You don't have to buy anything. You use our machines and accessories during the course and do not have to pay for this. There are no additional costs beyond the course fee. If you would like to purchase material to continue practicing at home after the course, you can decide to purchase all necessary material from us. For this we offer a starter package for purchase, a complete package of materials at an affordable price.

After 3 days you can't tattoo yet and you need to practice a lot. This can be done at home. We are still there to answer your questions after the 3 days. We also give you the opportunity to jump in after the course for free if you have any questions or want to refine some techniques. We also offer an advanced course, where you get started in a tattoo parlor.

Yes. You get 1 year warranty on the tattoo machine. If there is a defect, no problem: you will receive a new one.

Yes. If you have a rotary machine you can use it. A coil machine is also possible if you already have experience with this. If not, you work on (our) rotary machines.

Rather not. Due to the longer learning curve, we do not work with coil machines during the classes. We work with rotary pen machines (and hybrid machines). If you are already familiar working with a coil machine, it is allowed. If you are a beginner, it is best to get started with (our) rotary equipment.

Wear what you feel comfortable in. Keep in mind that beginners sometimes spill a splash of ink. This is not going to be undressed.

Absolutely. We provide free drinks: coffee, tea, water and soft drinks.

We do not have a restaurant in the house. We do have good neighbors in Hasselt: a chip shop, a wok restaurant and soon a Panos.In Ghent we are close to the Brugse Poort, with many dining options. We provide free drinks: coffee, tea, water and soft drinks.

You cannot stay overnight in our school. There are hotels and a hostel nearby.

Yes that is possible. Just provide us with your company details. Also, in this case the full course fee needs to be payed in one go.

No. At the moment we cannot offer this yet.

In Hasselt, yes. Unfortunately not in Ghent.

In a tattoo environment, we already emphasized hygiene. This will be further tightened by means of the following measures: • Seats 1.5 meters apart, each has its own designated seat• Disinfected seats, work tables, toilets, door handles, tattoo materials • Doors and some windows open for air circulation • The supervisors wear a mouth mask• The group is divided into 2 smaller groups over 2 rooms, at different times• The demonstrations are done individually as much as possible • For this we work with extra supervisors • Each participant gets their own materials that are ready and not exchanged

If the course is canceled due to an imposed covid lockdown, we will postpone the bootcamp. According to your preferences, you can apply for a bootcamp in the future.
