Learn to tattoo online
Welcome to Ink Beginnings. The wait is finally over. We offer a comprehensive, Learn to Tattoo online course made by real Tattoo artists at an affordable monthly (cancel when you want!) price!. As well as the training course we offer a variety of complimentary products to ensure you have all the equipment for the job.
Founded late in 2023, the team behind Ink Beginnings run an established Tattoo academy based in the North of England and also a Digital Marketing Agency. Together they have brought you the Ink Beginnings Learn to Tattoo course. Taking a “hands-on” approach to learning you will be using your Tattoo machine in the first 5 minutes of the very first lesson! If you want more than just an online course, upgrade your package to include the weekly online live lessons held by the team or go one step further, become EXCLUSIVE and attend our monthly in-person lessons at the Ink Beginnings academy in Pontefract.
