PTA Tattoo Courses - Learn How to Tattoo


The Professional Tattoo Academy® (UK) is pleased to announce that there will be
no price increase to fees for its tattoo and body-piercing courses in 2012.

 

 

Two Week Professional Tattoo Course

In the first week of this tattoo course students will learn all about setting up a tattooist's workstation, tattoo machine mechanics and hygiene procedures. There will also be a particular emphasis on tattoo drawing skills and drawing practice. The latter part of the week is spent learning how to tattoo on skin substitute.

This is followed by a hands-on practical-orientated second week where students will advance to actually tattooing either themselves or each other, or even an adult 'model' if they have someone suitable to bring along.

Talks are given on how to go about setting up a professional tattoo studio, finding the best location for a tattoo studio and all legal matters relating to running a tattoo business.

Expert advice is given on successfully running and maintaining a tattoo business, as well as how to work at tattoo expos and details are provided about all the best suppliers of tattoo equipment.

N.B. Although the Two Week Professional Tattoo Course spans across a weekend,
there are no lessons on Saturdays and Sundays.

Course fee: £2500.00

Advanced Tattoo Course

This course has been designed for people who already have a basic knowledge of tattooing, but would like to catch up on the latest techniques of shading, colouring and machine tuning, maintenance & repair and up-to-date tricks of the trade.

It is particularly suited to tattooists who have come back to the trade, who have the basic knowledge of tattoo studio hygiene and tattoo machine maintenance.

The course is also ideal for students who have completed the PTA Two Week Professional Tattoo Course, who wish to hone their tattooing skills to the next level, for example in the techniques of grey-shading and use of bright colours.

There are no specific dates for the Advanced Tattoo Course, as each course is tailored to suit individual needs and will be carried out on a one-to-one basis. Please phone (see CONTACT page) to discuss your requirements.

Course fee: £275.00 per day.

 

 

 

Please note that accommodation is not included in the price of any of the courses,
but it can be arranged for you at a decent local B & B if required.
The Larches Bed and Breakfast is popular with PTA students and a lift can be
arranged to and from the accommodation at no extra charge.

 

 

Disclaimer:

The PTA does not guarantee that by completing one of its courses, or receiving a PTA certificate, students will necessarily qualify for an actual job as a professional tattoo artist or body-piercer; that will depend entirely on each student's personal endeavours.

However, the PTA will offer advice to help students achieve their goal. Having invested time and money to receive the best training available in the UK at the PTA, demonstrates to potential employers a high standard of ability and professionalism.

Please note that it is illegal to tattoo a person anywhere other than on premises specifically licensed for that purpose. Penalties are severe.
