Got questions?
Yes, and thousands of our students already have.
The traditional belief that you can only learn tattooing through a shop apprenticeship is outdated. Ben Fisher created Tattoo Method Pro to let anyone learn to tattoo without the gatekeeping of apprenticeships — structured, step-by-step courses with over 200 lessons covering everything from machine setup to advanced techniques.
These aren't random YouTube tutorials in no particular order. They're a proven curriculum designed to take you from complete beginner to professional standard.
Absolutely. You don't need to be a natural-born artist — tattooing is a skill, and like any skill it can be learnt with the right guidance and practice.
Our courses start from the basics and include drawing fundamentals specific to tattoo design. Some of the best tattoo artists working today didn't consider themselves "artistic" before they started. What matters most is your willingness to put in the work and follow the process.
There's a huge difference. Free YouTube content is scattered, inconsistent, and often taught with no structure. You can spend hundreds of hours jumping between videos, learning things in the wrong order and picking up bad habits, all while still not feeling confident enough to pick up a machine.
Our courses are structured so each lesson builds on the last, with practice exercises, demonstrations, and a clear progression path to build your skills.
Our courses are self-paced, so whether you've got two hours a day or ten, you can work through it at a speed that suits your life. The key word is practice — the more reps you put in on practice skin, the faster you'll progress.
Students tattoo on practice skin after learning the foundation theory, and you may feel confident enough to do your first real tattoo within a few months of consistent practice. We recommend you don't rush the process.
Please note: we recommend you do not tattoo yourself or others while taking the course. As a training provider we have an ethical responsibility to ensure students follow best practice — tattooing before you're ready has professional and legal impacts that can hinder your career.
Yes — our courses are relevant regardless of where you live. The content focuses on skills and techniques rather than country-specific legislation, so it can be used around the world.
Tattooing is a universal skill, and the techniques and business principles we teach apply anywhere. The only thing that varies is licensing and hygiene regulations, so we always recommend checking with your local council or authority for the tattoo licensing requirements in your area.
Our courses work just as well for hobbyists as they do for career-changers. You'll learn to tattoo properly and safely regardless of your end goal.
Plenty of students take the course to learn tattooing for their own enjoyment or to pick up a fun new skill. We welcome all students, whatever your reason for learning.
