FUNDAMENTALS OF TATTOOING
30 DAY ONLINE COURSE
I believe that to learn anything well, you require both structure and time to develop. Over the 30 Day Course, you will learn and implement all the fundamental skills that form the foundations upon which to become a professional tattoo artist.
Yo! I'm Ben
I’m a professional tattoo artist based in the UK; I am also entirely self-taught. I spent ten years scouring the internet for information on how to tattoo. I enjoyed the journey, but it was slow, and I knew there had to be a better way to learn, so I created this 30-day course covering the foundations of tattooing.
“I want everyone to have the chance to follow a career in tattooing!”
Yes, there are tonnes of ‘how-to’ guides available online, but the thing that is missing is structure and a methodology to follow that will ensure you don’t pick up any bad habits and that will enable you to build on your skills in a way that will get you from beginner to pro in no time at all.
I can’t tell you how excited I am for you to come on this journey with me.
That’s why, for a limited time only, I am offering you my Fundamentals of Tattooing Course completely free of charge.
