Body Art Training

Hamilton, New Zealand

Welcome to our website, feel free to Contact Us with any requests and we will try to accommodate you. Currently we prefer to provide tattoo. piercing, microblading and permanent make-up training in Cambridge near Hamilton, North island but many student travel from other locations to train with us.

We began training tattoo artists over 20 years ago when we needed artist to work in our 22 tattoo tattoo shops. At first we followed the traditional apprenticeship method but began revising it and organizing the training into a logical system of learning to make it easier for a tattoo enthusiast to understand the many processes required to do a good safe tattoo. Eventually we settled on 36 major subjects for your students. These subjects were then broken down into sub sections. After many refinements we made it possible to teach all aspects of the tattoo process id a 5 day period.
