Welcome to The Professional Tattoo Academy (UK)
The Professional Tattoo Academy (UK) is the only full-time
organisation in the UK
dedicated to teaching the correct procedures and practices
of the professional tattoo artist.
Learn How to Tattoo - Course Information
The Professional Tattoo Academy (UK) provides a two week tattoo training course that has been designed to be as interesting and informative as possible. Places are restricted to a maximum of three students per course, which offers similar benefits to one-on-one tuition but with the additional advantage of learning to work in a small team of tattooists, just like in a professional tattoo studio.
Students of The Professional Tattoo Academy (UK) are expected to give their best efforts during drawing and machine assembly sessions. If they use their course time well, students are guaranteed to leave the academy with a far greater artistic competence than when they arrived.
Each day of the tattoo course is structured in a similar way to other establishments of further education: a prompt start time of 10:00 with a lunch break around midday, followed by more tuition in the afternoon, with the day finishing at 17:00.After successfully completing the Two Week Professional Course, all students will be awarded a certificate of tattoo training from The Professional Tattoo Academy (UK) - there is no final exam to take and therefore there is no possibility of anyone failing the course.
Important: in most areas of the UK local legislation dictates that a certificate of training is required before permission is granted for opening a new tattoo or body piercing business.
The Professional
Tattoo Academy (UK) comprises a
classroom for theory and lecture
purposes, a separate self-contained 'mock'
studio (pictured on the right) with
three permanent stations and a
comfortable lounge
for relaxation.
The PTA is very proud that a large percentage of its students have now established themselves successfully as full-time professional tattoo artists and body-piercers in the UK and abroad:
"I am up and running now, thanks to Danny and the PTA. I had wasted so much time just playing around with my tattoo equipment until I was shown how to use it properly."
- Ady (Wales)"Danny is a great teacher - he's very patient and understanding. After my two weeks at the Professional Tattoo Academy I was raring to go."
- Maria (Malta)"The most enjoyable two weeks at school that I have ever had! Now I've got a new career as well."
- Paul (London)"The pro course covered everything I wanted to know. I couldn't believe the improvement in my skills after just two weeks."
- Joyce (Glasgow)
