Imagine you were 1 whole year into tattooing right now.

I started as a mom to a baby, full-time enrolled in school, studying for medical school entry exams.

Never did I imagine that my love for art would turn into a career that made me turn away from medicine. I couldn’t be more grateful that it did. One year into tattooing I had quit school and found myself booking out my schedule 4 days a week doing tiny tattoos in my own studio suite with no side hustles or plans to stop. I was making a meaningful income from my creative outlet, I was home each night with my daughter, excited about the next day, and feeling like a total badass for making it all happen. Today, I own my own shop, I train experienced artists in my techniques, I am booked and choosy about the projects I accept, I have a flexible schedule of ease and I am around for my now two daughters whenever they need me. I’m not lucky, I worked hard, worked smart, and I started when I did.

My message? START NOW, I’m so glad I did.

Fine line tattooing is extremely sought after and hard to learn on your own. It is not well understood by the industry and is being performed poorly by unqualified people all over. If you can show well healed fine line work and creative designs, you can be a busy working artist. Getting there is what this program is all about.

Learning fine line tattooing from someone with the skills and results you’re wanting to get is an investment in your success. Taking online classes with little to no substance, watching endless youtube, or learning from permanent makeup artists is never going to get you to your goals in an effective and reliable way.

Seeing in person fine line tattoos by an experienced professional will get you ahead. Working on a live client under supervision will boost your confidence and assure you in knowing the steps. Practicing relentlessly with your sanitary set up/ break down and practice pads will build the best habits for this career. Getting all the details, science and “why’s” behind the techniques, machines, and supplies will give you a knowledge base to build on. Committing to yourself, being bold enough to show up and try, and choosing your thriving art career will change everything.

There is no substitution for a real, long term apprenticeship with a mentor in your preferred style but if you don’t have 2 unpaid years to give to a shop, a portfolio that will get you accepted, and a reputable fine line expert looking for an apprentice near you, this is the next best option.

I don’t pretend you’ll walk away from here winning conventions and raking in 6 figures, and anyone who tells you that is lying. But I do know you’ll leave here with the foundational skills in every area you need to be successful in this career, appropriate techniques, and confidence to move forward.

I created this program because of so many people who’ve reached out to ask for training but also because it took me YEARS to sort through these foundations and become highly skilled, it took me travels to europe to get expert techniques, it took me failures to learn tattoo business basics, and it took me forever to build community. I want to help people who are in the place I was, looking to be happy in your work, wanting to create art and be paid well, looking for a flexible career path and a new obsession.

I created this to deliver the years of learning I wish I could have started off with.
