Tattoo Taster Day

Your First Step Into Professional Tattooing

Have you ever wondered what it actually feels like to create a tattoo?

Perhaps you've thought about becoming a tattoo artist, changing careers, or turning your passion for art into something more—but you're not quite sure where to start.

Our Tattoo Taster Day has been created for people just like you.

Before investing in equipment or committing to further training, spend a day with professional tattoo artists and experience the craft for yourself in a relaxed, supportive environment.

This is your opportunity to discover whether tattooing is the right path for you.

Learn from Professional Tattoo Artists

Throughout the day you'll be guided by experienced tattoo artists from Monumental Ink Studios, who work with clients throughout the week and teach at the academy because they're passionate about developing the next generation of artists.

You'll gain an honest insight into what life as a tattoo artist is really like, ask as many questions as you like, and experience the techniques that form the foundation of every tattoo.

A Hands-On Experience

This isn't just a demonstration—you'll get involved.

Using professional equipment, you'll tattoo on ultra-realistic practice skin while receiving guidance and feedback from our artists throughout the day.

We'll provide everything you need, so all you have to bring is a notebook, a pen and an open mind.
