I ran across Tattooing 101 by accident and I am so happy I did! I am the breadwinner in my family and I just couldn’t afford to drop my job and do a traditional apprenticeship so I decided to look into online learning. I ran into a few that were just beyond my budget and didn’t look like I would learn much. Then accidentally I ran into tattooing 101 . When I first saw the website I thought it was a scam, but it wasn’t . It was def within my budget and looked like I could learn in an effective timeframe if I dedicated some of my time. In about 2 months I learned enough to get me into a local shop in my area. Long story short, I kept learning and practicing from the Artist Accelerator program, got my certificate. Left the shop because I ended up getting pregnant with twins. And during my maternity leave I signed up for Tattooing 101 private coaching. I loved the Artist Accelerator program and learned everything from sterilization to making your own inks. They really covered so much ground but I wanted to excel and refine my technical skills a bit more. Absolutely loved the coaching, these mentors really care about you and your success and progress. You automatically get invited to their online student social media group which will help you get feedback and keep you accountable and is really a safe space to voice questions and concerns. In coaching you get one on one time with the mentors and even learn helpful marketing tips for your business. All in all solid decision, my twins are 1 now and I attended my first convention and won competing for the first time in the black and grey category. If you’re serious about tattooing and it becoming a profession then tattooing 101 is for you.

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
