2. Apply for a credit card to be used for tuition (Visa, Master Card, etc.)
3. Seek support through family & friends.
4. Borrow against assets.
5. Simply save

However, we offer payment plans for the Tattooing workshop. Permanent makeup and Body Piercing workshops must be paid up front. We DO NOT REQUIRE DEPOSITS for permanent makeup or body piercing. Deposits are ONLY required for Tattoo training.

Of course the dynamic answer to this question is the same as with any other viable trade or profession – it all depends upon your effort, professionalism, and performance. However, below is an estimate of what the average tattoo artist earns. The average cost of today’s tattoo, due to size and/or color, is $120. So…

1 tattoo = A cell phone bill

2 tattoos = Monthly car insurance

3 tattoos = A car note

4 tattoos = The average monthly college student loan payment

7 tattoos = Rent/mortgage payment

10 tattoos = A 7-day cruise

25 tattoos = A 1½ Carat diamond ring

45 tattoos = THE COST OF OUR TATTOO MASTER PROGRAM!

Yes. Primarily because our instructors use the neuro-linguistic programming teaching method – a state of the art power training method that applies teaching with hands-on training. 

Upon completion, our graduates are able to work right away, whether for themselves or an establishment. 

Our graduates also receive FREE consultation, a discount on supplies through the school, and FREE additional open floor training performed at their convenience.

Of course it helps to be artistically gifted (especially for aspiring shop owners). You will learn that proper machine mechanics along with precision are equally important in practicing the art of tattooing. (Please note that we recommend tattoo students understand the basics of drawing before enrolling)

YES, you will. We have an extensive list of clients who are fully aware of your status as students and pay a reduced rate for their tattoo. We guarantee you will have plenty of practice with our open floor practice sessions at anytime all year for the ones who complete the Master workshop.

YES, you can. A workshop schedule designed specifically for your convenience can be created and implemented during your stay with us. Since most of our students travel from a long distance, this does happen quite often.

YES, The Master Tattoo Workshop includes a complete set of professional tattoo equipment – enough equipment to start your own tattoo business and earn back approximately $5,000!
