I’ve been using Tattooing 101 since 2023, and it’s been such a game-changer. I love how the program gives practical tips and tricks that are specific to each style of tattooing—it really helps break down what makes each one unique. The step-by-step program dedicated to teaching the fundamentals is exactly what I needed, especially since I didn’t go through a traditional apprenticeship. It gave me the foundation and confidence to grow my skills in a structured way. On top of that, the Facebook community has been an amazing bonus—I’m so thankful to have a space where I can share ideas, get feedback, and connect with others on the same journey. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn tattooing in a flexible but supportive environment!Since starting the program, I’ve been able to open my own tattoo business, which I’ve successfully run for the past 2 years—and now I’m preparing to expand into a bigger space! If you’re serious about learning tattooing and want a supportive, flexible way to build your career, I can’t recommend this program enough.

Tattooing 101 is the world’s largest online tattoo education platform. Since 2016, we’ve empowered more than 7,500 artists.
The tattoo industry can be a brutal place for newcomers, with many artists using apprenticeships to gatekeep information and keep new, talented artists from taking their territory and clients.
While some apprenticeships can lead to strong relationships and incredible careers, it’s rare. Most apprenticeships require hopeful artists to work fulltime for 2-4 years with no pay. (Some even charge up to $10,000 for their tattoo training.)
In many cases, “apprentices” are not taught how to tattoo and are just used for free labor - cleaning oilers, scrubbing tubes, and running errands. Combined with the “hazing” (verbal, mental, and sometimes physical abuse), many apprentices walk away from their dreams.
At Tattooing 101.com, we’ve unlocked the secrets to becoming a successful tattoo artist, giving aspiring artists the skills they’d gain in a traditional apprenticeship in less time, and for less money.
Tattooing 101 offers future artists an alternative to traditional tattoo apprenticeships by preparing them to excel in the tattoo industry without having to put their life on hold for an apprenticeship.
Our Artist Accelerator Program provides the knowledge needed to succeed both professionally and artistically, even for complete beginners who have never picked up a pencil or tattoo machine before.See more
