Note:
A maximum of four students can participate at any one time per scheduled session. The online course covers all the theory, and in the practical training, you will apply this knowledge in practice on two models under the supervision of your trainer, Merle Siefkes.

Why is participation so affordable?

We know that the value we deliver far exceeds the participation fee. But our motto has always been "always over deliver."

With our online courses and hands-on training, we want to promote education in the tattoo and cosmetics industry. That's why we've set the price so low that everyone can afford to learn professional tattooing.

How long do I have access to all content?

You get unlimited access to all content at any time. You can watch and rewatch everything as often as you like, and you can therefore take as much time as you need.

And you'll benefit from receiving all updates and extensions within your chosen course. We generally recommend working through all content multiple times so you can consolidate your knowledge.

Do I need my equipment right from the start?

No! Since we cover a lot of theory before getting into the practical side of things, you can also purchase your equipment later. Otherwise, we'll also show you how to practice important preliminary exercises on paper, even without equipment.

In the online course, you'll find our personalized purchase recommendations. This way, you can be sure that you'll save a lot of money while still owning high-quality equipment.

We would recommend that you work through the content in our academy first, as different materials are used for different techniques and purposes.

How much will my equipment cost me?

In the online course, you'll find our personalized buying recommendations with links to all recommended shops. This way, you can be sure that you'll save a lot of money while still owning high-quality equipment.

The investment in your equipment amounts to approximately €200 for consumables, i.e. needles, pigments and hygiene products.

We'll give you recommendations on which materials to use and what you really need at the beginning. This ensures that you don't spend unnecessary money on things you don't actually need, especially at the beginning.

Will I receive a certificate and is it recognized?

Yes! After completing the online course and the optional practical training, you will receive an official, high-quality certificate from us by mail. These certificates confirm your participation in our Pigmentation Academy and serve as official proof of your expertise.

Many of our students have obtained a place in a studio or even opened their own studio after attending our academy.

Even more important than a certificate are the results on your customers' skin. This ultimately opens all doors for you and this is exactly what our academy is designed for: that you learn cosmetic tattooing professionally from the ground up.

Can I officially pigment freckles after participating?

Yes! Many of our students have secured a place in a studio or even opened their own studio after attending our academy.

Even more important than the certificate are the cosmetic results on your customers' skin. These ultimately open all doors for you, and that's exactly what our academy is designed for: so that you learn pigmentation professionally from the ground up.

To work as a cosmetical tattoo artist, all you need, apart from the knowledge of how to apply this technique, is a medical certificate, a business registration, and the necessary equipment.

The goal is to learn everything you need to know, consolidate your knowledge, practice your first exercises on artificial skin, and then continue practicing the techniques until you're ready to apply pigments to real skin for the first time. Our training courses are structured so that they truly start from scratch, with the level increasing with each subsequent lesson.

When does the training start or when can I start?

Online course: The online course begins immediately upon booking your access. Your access data will be delivered automatically via email after your payment has been received.
