Eum Tattoo Academy Curriculum Overview
Our Tattoo Training Programs
1. Initiation | 8 Weeks
For complete beginners
Initiation introduces students to the fundamentals of tattooing. The course begins with essential theory, including hygiene, safety, equipment, and foundational knowledge, before moving into practical exercises on synthetic skin.
Students build a foundation in tattoo techniques and develop an understanding of the professional tattooing process. No live-client tattooing is included in this stage.
2. Beginner | 8 Weeks
Developing practical tattooing skills
Building on the foundations of Initiation, the Beginner course focuses on developing practical tattooing techniques and applying fundamental skills to real skin.
Students gain hands-on experience while further developing their understanding of tattoo application, technique, and workflow. Students are responsible for arranging their own models and practice sessions.
3. Advanced | 2 Months
Selective admission for developing artists
The Advanced program is designed for selected students who have completed foundational tattoo training and are ready to develop their skills further.
With guidance from experienced professional artists, students focus on their preferred tattoo genre, refine their techniques, and build a portfolio that reflects their individual artistic direction.
Following successful evaluation, students may be offered a three-month studio placement at Tattoo People to gain professional experience in a working tattoo studio.
4. Mentoring | Optional Program
Individual guidance for junior artists
Our Mentoring program is designed for junior artists who already have foundational tattoo knowledge and practical experience on synthetic skin.
Through four weekly one-on-one sessions over one month, students receive personalised guidance from a mentor artist matched to their preferred tattoo style or genre. Training details and scheduling are discussed directly with the mentor.
